Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).
4. Maybelline's Fit Me Matte foundation — when you put it on, it'll literally feel like your skin but better. Reviewers say it's super buildable while still leaving a natural finish. It even keeps those with the oiliest of skin looking matte all day!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The Maybelline Fit Me Matte Foundation is hands down my favorite foundation! It works better than some of my high-end foundations, offering great coverage that evens out my complexion while controlling oil and minimizing pores. The formula feels lightweight, blends easily, and stays in place throughout the day without feeling cakey or heavy. I love how it gives me a smooth, matte finish that lasts, even in warmer weather.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I have looked my whole life for a foundation that worked for me. Too much coverage, too little, no lasting power, too cakey , etc… and I've always hated the sensation of being able to feel makeup on my skin. I randomly bought this after searching for 'tinted serum' and liked the many positive reviews. So I tried it. And it is awesome! It feels so light going on, way more like skincare than actual makeup, and the color is SPOT ON. It seems to have good staying power despite feeling so light, and has just the perfect amount of coverage for me. It feels very moisturizing and gives my skin a beautiful, dewy glow. I almost can't believe this is a drug store brand. I've used products three times the price and never felt nearly this happy with them. A+++" — Addie
Get it from Amazon for $6.54+ (available in 14 shades).
6. The Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Powder so you can absorb excess oils and matte-ify areas like your T-zone or under the eyes so that you'll have an airbrushed-looking finish all day. This is a staple for many professional makeup artists, so you definitely need to incorporate it into your routine.
Sephora
Promising review: "I love Huda powders. They are some of the very best on the market. This powder applies so flawlessly and removes any shine while setting my makeup to last all day. I have very dry skin, so most powders do not work for me. However, I keep coming back to Huda!" — addiryanne
Get it from Sephora for $39 (available in nine shades and a mini size).
7. E.l.f Camo Liquid Blush that a lot of reviewers say is quitteeee similar to the Rare Beauty one, but way cheaper. These pigmented shades will def add a pop of color to your cheeks and the soft, dewy finish will leave you glowing!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The color is beautiful, and the pigmentation is excellent, with a smooth, dewy finish that feels natural on the skin. The formula is high quality, easy to apply, and blends perfectly, giving me a fresh and radiant look. What I like most is that it has great staying power, making it ideal for all-day wear without needing touch-ups. Plus, I love that it's vegan and cruelty-free. I definitely recommend it if you're looking for a high-quality, vibrant blush!" — Kevin y Magda
Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in 12 shades).
8. Or, a Milani Baked Blush, a true classic since you probably remember this from your mom's makeup bag in the early 2000s. Little did you know, this blush just hits different since it's super buildable, blends seamlessly into the skin, and even comes with a mini applicator!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "You can't go wrong with the Milani baked blush. I've used several different shades and they all go on beautifully with just enough of a highlight shimmer to draw light to the cheeks and anywhere you want to highlight and add a pop of color. I often get compliments about my make up and when my mother asked for me to buy her some make up for Christmas to try out this was first on my gift list. It looks great on her too, so it's a blush for anyone of any age." — Raptured Night
Get it from Amazon for $8.97 (available in 21 shades).
9. A Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer to bring out your inner bronzed goddess and convince everyone that your side job is basking in the sun. This buttery formula blends in so smoothly, and it's even hypoallergenic (shout out to those with acne-prone skin)!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "I'm totally in love with this! The texture is so silky and smooth— it blends like a dream and gives me the most natural sun-kissed glow. The shade is perfect for adding warmth without looking too orange or muddy. Plus, it has this amazing tropical scent that makes me feel like I'm on vacation every time I use it! The formula is buildable, so you can go subtle or really bronze it up. And the best part? It never looks patchy and lasts all day. If you're looking for a bronzer that's easy to apply and gives you that effortless, healthy glow, this is it!" — Miss Rae
Get it from Amazon for $6.31+ (available in 10 shades).
10. Rare Beauty Positive Light Highlighter that'll work so well to showcase your high points you won't even need to stand in direct sunlight for this baby to show that your highlight is poppin'.
Sephora
Promising review:"Rare Beauty is one of my favorite highlighters because a little bit goes a long way. If you want to do a natural makeup look then it's perfect, but if you add a little more, it's also great for full glam." — bella200marie
Get it from Sephora for $27 (available in six shades)
11. Makeup Forever's Artist Color Lip Liner — she's an icon, she's a legend, and she IS the moment because the creamy formula glides on so easily, is heavily pigmented, and lasts pretty much all day. What more could you ask for in a lip liner?

Promising review:"I saw someone on Instagram using this color and decided to order it. You never know, but I SCORED!!!!!! Color is absolutely perfect and I'm always looking for a great shade and this one is fabulous — it stays on well and does not bleed. 450 Romantic Rose is the perfect pink! It's my go-to lipstick in my purse! 😍" — susie
Promising review: "The lipstick goes on smooth and doesn't feel sticky, so you can throw it on without feeling like you're even wearing it. The color is amazing, and it lasts without having to reapply over and over. I will def purchase this again in different colors!" — Remedy
Get it from Amazon for $5.64 (available in 44 shades).
13. Nyx Butter Gloss because your lip gloss has two major requirements: 1) it needs to be poppin', and 2) it needs to be cool. In addition to being both those things, this gives you a high-shine finish without being sticky, and it comes in 40 (!!) shades, so you'll be sure to find one you love.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review (for shade "Sugar Glass"): "Perfect clear gloss: non-sticky, no weird residue, moisturizing, subtle sweet scent, no bad taste, cute, long-wearing, a lot of product for not a lot of money. I have found my lippie go-to with this one!" — Anonymous

Sephora
Promising review: "I'm the type of person that would never be caught DEAD spending $22 on a LIP BALM. But I had a gift card, and my lips had been cracking, so I pulled the trigger. And let me tell you I WOULD PAY FULL PRICE FOR THIS WITH MY OWN MONEY TIME AND TIME AGAIN." — morgan1432
Get it from Sephora for $22 (available in eight styles).
15. Nyx Micro Brow Pencil so you can add some shape and definition to your brows. On one end, you get a precise pencil to fill in the sparse areas, and on the other, you get a spoolie to help keep those hairs in place. Reviewers say it's just as good as the Anastasia Brow Wiz!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I have been using this eyebrow pencil for years now and will not use anything else. I absolutely love it. It's a fraction of the price of the Anastasia eyebrow pencil but just as good. The super fine tip makes it easy to get thin lines that look natural. Plus, the shade range is perfect." — Diana Chavarria
Get it from Amazon for $8+ (available in 12 shades).
16. The Too Faced Born This Way Eye Shadow Palette — it's versatile enough so you can use it for your regular day-to-day looks or go full glam and release your inner glittery goddess. Either way, this palette will come in handy, and reviewers say the color payoff is worth every penny!
Sephora

Amazon, www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "For years, I used MAC black eyeliner and bought this in a pinch one day at the mall. Best purchase ever! It's so smooth when it rolls on; you only need one swipe to get a smooth black line! Gone are the days of going back and forth over and over. Love this! New favorite!" — EvaK
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in 12 shades).
18. A tube of Essence Lash Princess Mascara that reviewers love because it's less than $5 and gives you some dramatic — like Bravo TV dramatic — looking lashes. No need to reapply throughout the day or fiddle with uncomfortable falsies when you've got this in your beauty arsenal.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
See it in action on TikTok.
Promising review: "I tried this mascara for the first time in 2020 after seeing it go viral on TikTok. It was too inexpensive not to try, right?!?! Well, let me just say how upset I was to find out this little inexpensive bottle outperformed EVERY expensive mascara I had ever bought. This is now the only stuff I use!" — Amanda Sims
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a three-pack and in two colors).
BuzzFeed editor Kayla Boyd wrote an in-depth Essence Lash Princess mascara review.
19. A Shisheido Eyelash Curler — pretty much deemed THE lash curler you need because of how well it keeps your lashes curled all day and night. Reviewers appreciate how this doesn't damage their eyelashes and agree that it's worth every penny.
Sephora
Promising review:"After using this for the past few weeks, I noticed a major difference compared to other lash curlers, including the E.l.f lash curler. This specific curler really emphasizes my lashes — they usually are short and straight, but with this, they look more defined and lifted." — moonlight09
20. Patrick Starrr's One Size On 'Til Dawn Setting Spray that will be the perfect finishing touch to any look since it gives you a smoother, matte finish and boasts an 18-hour hold. This is perfect for anyone who deals with sweat, oily skin, or just wants to make sure their look won't budge one bit!
Sephora, One Size
This TikToker did a transfer test, smudge test, and even a waterproof test to show how well this keeps your makeup in place! (Note: This does have an intense spray, so make sure you keep your mouth closed while spraying 6 inches away from your face.)
Promising review:"Love this! I have very oily skin and live in Florida. I've used pretty much every setting spray, and most have not performed nearly as well as this! Makes my makeup last 8 hours, give or take some, which is enough for me personally. While it is scented, it's not overwhelming like other products. I still try to brace myself because it is a sealant with a jet stream tip. Overall would recommend it for my oily-skinned gals who have trouble getting their makeup to last!" — Taylor Flores
Get it from Sephora for $17+ (available in two sizes).

The best Amazon Prime Day deals under $50: Save on gear from Blink, Anker, Samsung and others
Big ticket items like TVs and iPads might get the lion's share of the attention during Amazon's big sale, but there are plenty of Prime Day deals to be had for under $50, too. We've combed through the pages (and pages) of discounts to find the brands and gadgets that we at Engadget actually recommend. Our picks include power banks from Anker, smart plugs from TP-Link, microSD cards from Samsung and smart speakers from Amazon Echo. We've also linked back to our reviews and buying guides to help with your shopping decisions. Here are the best Prime Day tech deals under $50 that are available right now. Amazon Fire TV Stick HD for $18 ($17 off with Prime): We name this the best budget streaming stick on our list of the best streaming devices. It's easy to set up and so you can access all of the major streaming platforms. Just note that it only streams content at 1080p, not 4K and the UI is more ad-heavy than competing streamers. Apple AirTag for $23 ($6 off): Here's our pick for a Bluetooth tracker for iPhone users. These little discs have the most accurate finding ability of any fob we tested, thanks to Apple's vast Find My network that taps into all nearby iPhones to track down your missing stuff. They could be louder and hole would be nice, but nothing beats its accuracy. Samsung Fit Plus 56GB flash drive for $23 ($12 off): We named this the best thumbstick drive in our guide to the best SSDs. It has a sleek design, five-year warranty and has a USB 3.1 connection. There's even a small attachment point for a keychain so you can take your extra storage drive with you when you go. Thermacell E55 Rechargeable Repeller for $25 ($10 off): The mosquitos aren't going anywhere. Even places that didn't used to have these evil bloodsuckers are now overrun. If you would like some reprieve from the bites, this is the repeller we recommend in our guide to outdoor tech. TP-Link AC1200 WiFi extender for $20 ($10 off): If you've got some dead spots in your home's internet coverage and aren't quite ready for a mesh setup, a Wi-Fi extender can help. This is our favorite budget option in our guide to these plug-in devices thanks to its easy setup and user-friendly app. Amazon Echo Pop for $22 ($18 off with Prime): The smallest (and cheapest) Echo speaker is ideal for small apartments or rooms. The half-sphere design comes in purple and teal in addition to the standard black and white colorways. It's gone as low as $18 in past Prime Day sales. Anker Nano USB-C charger block for $16 ($4 off): Remember when tiny bricks like this all maxed out at a dinky five-watts? This tiny but mighty cube is the best cheap fast charger in our guide to fast chargers and it outputs a generous 30 watts, plus the prongs fold down to make it even more teensy. Soundcore Select 4 Go Bluetooth speaker for $22 ($13 off with Prime): One of the newest additions to our guide to the best Bluetooth speakers is this 'lil guy from Soundcore (Anker). We found it had decent sound quality and was loud enough to fill a standard-sized living room. It's gone as low at $20 in the past. Amazon Smart Plug for $13 ($12 off with Prime): This plug and an Alexa Echo device makes a perfect smart home starter kit (and a number of Echos are on sale for Prime Day, too). Snap this into your outlet and Alexa should automatically detect it (if not, a few taps in the Alexa app should get things connected). Then you can use it to control any lamp, fan or other simple device you plug into it — just by asking the assistant. Blink Mini 2 security camera for $20 ($20 off with Prime): Our pick for the best budget security camera is now even more budget friendly. We appreciated this diminutive camera's ease of setup and excellent integration with Alexa devices, like Echo speakers and displays. It requires a subscription for person detection and cloud storage, and the image quality wasn't the best of the bunch. Amazon Echo Dot for $32 ($18 off with Prime): Amazon seems to wait for Prime Day sales to give its smart speakers hefty discounts. We see minor sales throughout the year, but not quite this steep (though it's gone as low as $23 in past sales). So if you want to bring Alexa's peppy helpfulness into your home, this is a good time to do so. The Dot is our favorite smart speaker under $50. Amazon Echo Dot Kids with Alexa for $32 ($28 off with Prime): The kids version of Amazon's smart speaker is the same hardware but with a kid-themed cover (owl or dragon) and it comes with a free year-long subscription to Amazon Kids+ with audiobooks, games and educational Alexa skills. Blink Video Doorbell for $30 ($30 off with Prime): If you already use Alexa in your home and want a compatible video doorbell, you may want to check out this deal. Note that you'll need a Blink subscription and a Blink Sync Module to store clips and to access other features. You can wire it to your existing doorbell wires or use it wirelessly with two AA batteries that can last up to two years. HyperX Cloud Stinger 2 gaming headset for $36 ($14 off): In our guide to gaming headsets, we ultimately recommend getting an external mic along with a good pair of wired headphones for chatting. But if you really want a two-in-one, the Cloud Stinger 2 is our pick for a budget gaming headset. Razer Basilisk V3 gaming mouse for $40 ($30 off): Some prefer a wired connection when playing games. Razer's Basilisk V3 is our top budget pick for a wired mouse in our gaming mouse guide. It's comfortable, well-built, accurate and a good value — particularly with a Prime Day discount. Amazon Echo Spot for $45 ($35 off with Prime): The Spot speaker was resurrected last year with a slightly different design than it first had. Now the display is a half-circle on the round face of the clock and it can show you the weather, time and song title. The speaker itself brings you all Alexa can do, like setting timers, adding stuff to your grocery lists and answering questions about the weather. Leebin Electric Spin Scrubber for $40 (43 percent off): This was Deputy Editor Valentina Palladino's favorite thing she bought last year because it makes the must-detested chore of cleaning her shower less of a pain. It's an electric spin scrubber that comes with multiple cleaning heads so you can use it on your countertops, sinks, tubs and showers and more. It also has an adjustable arm so you can reach tough spots in hard-to-reach places, and it convenient recharges via USB-C. Amazon Echo Buds with Active Noise Cancellation for $45 ($95 off with Prime): These buds are a bit old at this point, as they came out in 2021, but the 68 percent discount could be compelling. In our review, we said the buds were much improved over the last generation. They're more comfortable and have a better sound quality. Plus the Alexa integration makes them a decent pick for those who've gone all-in on Amazon's ecosystem. Ring Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam for $40 ($40 off with Prime): This indoor security camera can spin 360 degrees and has a tilt range of 169 degrees so you can keep tabs on pets and other happenings at home. It'll let you drop in for a live view from your phone, and supports two-way talk for telling your pup to get off the couch. UGreen Revodok Pro 109 USB-C Hub for $39 ($16 off): The top pick in our guide to the best USB-C hubs has a good array of ports, including an HDMI 2.0 connection that supports 4K monitors at 60Hz, plus three USB-A ports, Ethernet and one USB-C (plus another for delivering 90W of power to your device. The hub has gone as low as $30 in prior sales.

28 Budget-Friendly Fashion Accessories
A set of gold-plated cartilage cuffs you can slip on for the look of two extra piercings.

A CZ tennis bracelet that — according to reviewers — can pass for real-deal diamonds, especially when incorporated in a sparkly stack. A satin scarf you can wear SO many ways. Use it as a headband or scrunchie, tie it around your purse handle for extra oomph, wear it around your neck, style it as a top, or buy a matching set for you and your pet to wear. A beaded evening bag with *just* room for all of the important stuff (phone, keys, wallet) so you can collect compliments but not other people's stuff when you go out for the night and someone inevitably doesn't want to carry their own bag. Some faux-pearl statement earrings that look like they were bought from a boutique in Tahiti, but really, all you did was click "Buy Now" on Amazon and they showed up at your door in 24 hours. A stacking ring set you can wear together or space out so several fingers can get in on the fun. Friends will thing you sourced them individually but really, the work was done for you.

I've been there, done that, and gotta say that this way, you don't have to deal with uneven lengths or unexpected tangles. A dazzling cubic zirconia ring that looks *just* like the one you've seen on the hand of many a celeb and influencer — but for $10. Just keep it away from water (and maybe don't wear it to Solidcore classes if you sweat a lot), and you'll get your money's worth. A beaded shoulder bag you'll immediately treat as well as your firstborn child so it stays in the best condition imaginable. It's v similar to options from Staud if you love the look but simply can't afford the brand! A pair of stylish teardrop earrings if you want the luxe look of Bottega Veneta but don't want to drop the equivalent of a month's rent on them — especially with how often you misplace things. A pair of safety pin earrings that look like the real thing, but won't infect your lobes or accidentally poke a new hole behind your ear. A true win-win, if you ask me! A pair of vintage-inspired aviators to add a bit of ~flair~ to your everyday look. You may even feel like a TikTok influencer when you wear them. A woven tote bag with such an arresting exterior, even the barista at the coffee shop will cut you some slack as you dig through it for five minutes to retrieve your debit card. A pair of retro-inspired sunnies that'll run you less than $20, so if you're the type of person who throws them all willy-nilly in your bag, you won't be out serious dough if they get damaged. A simple herringbone chain you can wear alone or layer with 12 of your other fave necklaces because sometimes more *is* more. An elegant stainless steel Timex watch with a petite oval face and stretchy design that makes it a cinch to slide on and off. Yay for no clasps!! A genuine leather belt that'll literally tie your whole 'fit together and ensure you get ample wear out of all of your bottoms, even if you gain/lose a few pounds here and there. A bold and protective headwrap so you can give your curls the attention they deserve — but sans heat or too much manipulation. A stunning acrylic clutch with room for your keys, cards/cash, and Dior Lip Glow Oil 'cause TikTok has you in a chokehold and you *will* buy whatever the Gen Z influencers tell you to. A layered necklace so simple to style, it may just lay claim to your clavicle for good. And honestly, that's the best kind of piece — the one you never even take off. Some 18K gold-dipped twisted hoops that take ~literally~ no effort or know-how to style. While they're pretty substantial in size, they are unbelievably lightweight, so you don't have to worry about saggy lobes. A pair of polarized frames to protect your peepers as you drive to Starbucks for a grande vanilla iced latte even though you have a whole carafe of cold brew at home. 🤫 And a pair of pavé huggie hoops sure to match whatever you're wearing since they rock all Roy G. Biv shades.

Comedy Prime Video Overcompensating (2025- ) If the news of Max's Sex Lives of College Girls getting canceled left you aching for a new collegiate comedy to obsess over, don't skip Overcompensating. The series' first episode follows university freshmen Benny and Carmen, who feel the pressure to do the deed on night one, lest their social statuses plummet. However, former high school football star Benny is attracted to guys and closeted. Genuinely funny and authentic, this series from comedian Benito Skinner is one of Prime's best new shows. Prime Video The Outlaws (2021- ) Seven strangers are assigned to the same community payback sentence in this appealing comedy thriller set in Bristol, England. The six-episode show is fun, dark and touching, offering an engaging look at its rule-breakers backgrounds and the relationships that form between them. The plot thickens when some members of the group come across a bag of cash. If you need another draw, the show is co-created by Stephen Merchant, who co-created the UK version of The Office. Amazon Studios Undone (2019-2022) This unique series uses the Rotoscoping animation technique to tell the story of a young woman who, after suffering a near-fatal car accident, discovers she can manipulate time. Intriguing, right? It gets better: Bob Odenkirk plays Alma's dead father, who enlists her help in investigating his murder. Bending both time and space, Undone is surreal and beautifully existential for those looking for deep material. Jackie Brown/Amazon Studios The Kids in the Hall (2022) Prime Video has resurrected The Kids in the Hall, the Emmy-nominated Canadian sketch comedy show that originally ran from 1988 to 1995. (By "resurrects," I mean the show literally exhumes members of the comedy troupe from a grave they were buried in at the end of the original show. That's just the beginning of the fun.) Follow the comedians as they freak out over mislabeled desserts, fight over imaginary love interests and write Earth's last fax. Be warned: Some of these sketches are highly NSFW. Amazon Studios A League of Their Own (2022) Prime Video's TV series A League of Their Own is inspired by the 1992 film of the same name and introduces new characters portrayed by Abbi Jacobson, D'Arcy Carden and others. In the comedy-drama's first episode, women try out for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League in the '40s. The show explores themes of race and sexuality and offers a satisfying period setting and compelling characters. Amazon Studios The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017-2023) A '50s housewife who becomes a standup comic? This brilliant series from Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino is filled with sparkling performances from Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein, with dialogue to match. Set in a vibrant and changing New York, our delightful heroine moonlights as a comedian, while doing her duties as an upper-class Jewish American housewife. With impressive visuals, warmth and zingers, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is the full package. Sci-fi Prime Video Fallout (2024- ) Prime Video's video game adaptation is an entertaining postapocalyptic adventure you shouldn't leave sitting in a vault. The series follows three characters occupying the same wasteland. One is Lucy (Ella Purnell), who wanders in search of her kidnapped father and feels the need to invoke the Golden Rule to a cruel post-human Ghoul (Walton Goggins). Meanwhile, an eager Maximus (Aaron Moten) gets his big break as a squire in the Brotherhood of Steel. It's an unpredictable series with humor and gore. Don't let long episode runtimes deter you from exploring Fallout. Prime Video The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy (2024- ) A wacky, stellar adult animated comedy about exceptional alien surgeons, the Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy follows best friends Dr. Sleech and Dr. Klak (voiced by Stephanie Hsu and Keke Palmer) as they perform daily duties like treating a patient using an anxiety-eating parasite (that's just episode 1). The series' out-of-this-world voice cast also features Maya Rudolph, Natasha Lyonne and all five Culkin brothers. Prime Video Paper Girls (2022) The first episode of Paper Girls, a sci-fi TV series based on popular comics by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang, brings together four kids riding bikes on their paper delivery routes in 1988. While that may sound like a sci-fi-er you've binged already, (yep, Netflix's hit Stranger Things), Prime Video's show stands on its own. Follow along as the girls travel through time, navigate powerful adversaries and learn more about themselves. Another reason to watch? Comedian Ali Wong is also part of the cast. Drama Prime Video Expats (2024) A new miniseries starring Nicole Kidman may be enough to guide your finger to the Play button, but you may also want to know that Expats comes from Lulu Wang, the director of the critically acclaimed 2019 comedy-drama The Farewell. In the six-episode show, Kidman portrays an American woman who's living in Hong Kong and is one of three characters linked by a sudden family tragedy. David Hindley/Prime Video Riches (2022) A soapy drama about a family after the death of their wealthy patriarch sits tantalizingly on Prime Video. In Riches, the will reading goes in an unexpected direction, leading Stephen Richard's two sets of children to vie for control of his business. You'll glide through the stylish first season, which includes Ted Lasso Emmy nominee Sarah Niles. Amazon Studios The English (2022) Gripping Western drama series The English stars Emily Blunt and Chaske Spencer as an unlikely duo traveling across a treacherous landscape. The first episode of the miniseries presents some terrible characters and reveals a bit of what motivates both protagonists -- Blunt's aristocratic Englishwoman and Spencer's Pawnee ex-cavalry scout -- to continue in the face of danger. Gorgeous visuals and superb acting make The English worth a binge. Alan Peebles/Prime Video A Very British Scandal (2022) Unfurling over three hour-long episodes, A Very British Scandal dramatizes the highly publicized, real-life divorce between the Duke and Duchess of Argyll in the 1960s. Claire Foy, of Netflix's The Crown, and WandaVision's Paul Bettany star. Ali Goldstein/Amazon Studios As We See It (2022) A newer entry to Prime Video, As We See It earns a spot among its best shows. Starring three actors who identify as autistic, this sincere series follows young adults on the autism spectrum as they navigate jobs, make friends and find love. Neurotypical actors usually play autistic characters on screen, so the casting sets this one apart. It's also heartfelt, funny and poignant, with well-rounded characters you'll want to root for. I could let the show's glowing Metacritic score speak for itself -- but whatever convinces you, this needs to be your next watch. Superhero Brooke Palmer/Prime Video Gen V (2023- ) Gen V is a spin-off of Prime Video's hit violent and satirical series The Boys. Despite efforts to keep her head down, freshman Marie Moreau gets swept up in a mystery at Godolkin University, a prestigious but shadowy school for superheroes. The new series' strong characters and fresh story establish it as something pretty super in its own right. Another reason to watch? Season 4 of The Boys picks up after the events of the first Gen V season. Amazon Studios Invincible (2021- ) For those who aren't a fan of cartoons, Invincible could be your converter, up there with other adult cartoons like BoJack Horseman and Rick and Morty. Based on a comic book from Robert Kirkman, the creator of the Walking Dead, Invincible follows 17-year-old Mark Grayson and his training to become a superhero just like his father, who happens to be the most powerful superhero on the planet. Episodes run long at nearly 50 minutes, connected into one big, blood-spattered story. A subversive series with a huge cast featuring Steven Yeun, Sandra Oh and J.K. Simmons, Invincible will engross you in its smart animated world. Amazon Studios The Boys (2019- ) The Boys stormed Amazon with its ultra-violent tale of antihero vigilantes seeking revenge against the world's most beloved superheroes. These heroes aren't what they seem: Their corporate overlords cover up their shady personal lives, including sexual harassment and the odd assassination. With social commentary, black comedy and pops of gore, The Boys takes a thrilling and unapologetic step away from the family-friendly genre. Romance David Lee/Prime Video Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024- ) Prime Video's Mr. & Ms. Smith cast Donald Glover and Maya Erskine in a story about strangers turned married spies. The eight-episode series reimagines the 2005 action film starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, following the unconventional spy couple as they encounter risky missions and, inevitably, a change in their feelings for each other. Dana Hawley/Prime Video The Summer I Turned Pretty (2022- ) If a coming-of-age tale with a peak summer setting, a teenage love triangle and a soundtrack stocked with Taylor Swift songs sounds appealing to you, keep reading. The show centers on Belly (breakout actor Lola Tung), who makes a much-anticipated annual commute to a beach house with her mom and brother. She looks a bit different than she did the last time she set foot on Cousins Beach and spent time with her mom's best friend's sons, Conrad and Jeremiah. Young-adult author Jenny Han wrote the book on which the TV series is based and serves as one of the showrunners. Prime Video With Love (2021-2023) Looking for love? With Love might be the perfect feel-good rom-com. The charming premise sees the Diaz siblings, Lily and Jorge, navigate major holidays across the year, from Halloween to Christmas -- major holidays that put pressure on singletons in search of romantic relationships. Follow the Diazes on their journey, along with their delightful and sometimes delightfully awkward extended family. An earnest, enjoyable breeze. Fantasy Jonathan Prime/Prime Video My Lady Jane (2024) Lady Jane Grey, the Queen of England for just nine days in 1553, is the subject of this Prime Video series. The show doesn't stick closely to the events of her life, weaving in fantasy elements like humans who can turn into animals and imagining a world where she met a fate other than execution. Based on a book of the same name and blending comedy, action, romance and more, My Lady Jane is a wild, enjoyable ride you won't find in a history book. Prime Video I'm a Virgo (2023- ) Boots Riley (Sorry to Bother You) created this surreal series about Cootie (Jharrel Jerome), a 13-foot-tall Black man who leaves home for the first time at 19. The gentle giant from Oakland, California, experiences friendship, love and more milestones in this coming-of-age story, which brings humor, social commentary and undeniable originality to the small screen. Ben Rothstein/Prime Video The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022- ) Haven't watched Prime Video's buzzy, wildly expensive fantasy series yet? The Rings of Power brings incredible visuals, a sprawling cast and a sense of adventure to the streaming service. It's set thousands of years before The Lord of the Rings, and in part follows a young version of the character Galadriel, who's played by Morfydd Clark. Amazon Studios The Legend of Vox Machina (2022- ) Buckle up for a new animated series that centers on a group of boisterous, belching misfits called Vox Machina. Based on Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role (you don't have to be familiar with that to enjoy this show), The Legend of Vox Machina sees its protagonists go from being broke bar-hoppers to accepting a mission to stop evil brewing in Exandria. We're further introduced to the characters in a musical number that occurs about halfway through the first episode. That's right, I said musical number. You'll be down for every element this show throws at you. Why would anyone choose these misfits to fight for the kingdom? "Well ... they do have a bear," one royal decision-maker concedes. Documentary Prime Video LuLaRich (2021) In LulaRich, the directors of Hulu's Fyre Festival documentary explore the dark side of the multilevel marketing company LuLaRoe. The four-part documentary series interviews founders DeAnne and Mark Stidham and paints a not-so-rosy picture of the women's clothing giant, which is known for its loudly colored and patterned leggings and tops. In the doc, women who joined the company (investing a chunk of money in the process) dealt with stinky merchandise, a toxic culture and challenges in reaching financial goals. Settle in for a fascinating and well-made docuseries that spotlights the stories of former LuLaRoe retailers.
