Amazon Prime Video Top 10 Shows and Movies: New and Trending Today, September 14
Amazon Prime Video’s Top 10 Shows and Movies list is once again topped by The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, because it’s friggin’ Lord of the Rings, of course it’s going to be No. 1. What, you thought Carnival Row was going to be tops? There is a new entry on the list, at least. The documentary Flight/Risk, about the Boeing 737 crashes of 2018 and 2019 and how the company mishandled them, finally lands on the top 10 after it was released last weekend. It won’t make you happy, but if you enjoy watching corporations trying to dodge responsibility, it’s for you.
The top 10 movies and shows on Prime Video are listed below, but we’re not just listing them; we’re also putting our opinions on there to help you figure out which are worth watching. And to help you plan what you’ll watch next, we’ve added the new shows and movies coming to Prime Video, too.
