Prime Video fans ‘can’t stop watching’ 96% rated series amid major spin-off update
Prime Video subscribers are 'hooked' on every single episode a top-rated action drama they've hailed a 'must-watch.'
It can be difficult to find an addictive TV series we can safely binge - meaning, one that won't get canceled just as we're getting started.
But this Prime Video original already has 24 episodes across three seasons to enjoy, with another season and a spin-off series on the way.
It began streaming in 2022, but has only built up more momentum in the years since.

And with its spin-off potentially dropping by the end of 2025, fans have been revisiting the show that's 'even better the second time round.'
Smallville's Alan Ritchson stars as a former US army police major who quit the service and now lives as a drifter.
Traveling across America with nothing more than the clothes on his back and his sharp instincts, he seeks a quiet, detached life.
Yet somehow, trouble has a way of finding him.
Each season sees him in a new location or situation, where he becomes entangled in conspiracies, violent crimes and corruption.
Aiding him is former colleague Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), detective Oscar Finlay (Malcolm Goodwin) and police sergeant Roscoe Conklin (Willa Fitzgerald).
The show in question is Reacher - titled after Ritchson's protagonist, Jack Reacher and based on the long-running Lee Child novel series of the same name.
Over on Rotten Tomatoes, it's racked up an impressive 96 percent critics score across all three seasons.
James Delingpole of The Spectator described the series as 'great fun' adding: "[It's] one of those series you look forward to and could happily binge-watch, even though you know it’s not going to add much to your quotient of brain cells."
Fans were more favorable in their reviews, despite rating the show a lower score of 81 percent overall.
"Great action, drama, crime TV show... got me hooked on every single episode," one fan wrote.
"I've read every book and I can't think of how this first season could have been done any better," a second said. "Excellent. More please."
"Wow you get hooked in the first 10 mins. I couldn't stop watching it - a must see," a third social media user added.
Better yet, a fourth season of Reacher is underway, with production kicking off this summer. It's slated for release sometime in 2026.
And the Reacher universe is set to expand even further, away from its 2010s Tom Cruise movies.
Spin-off series Neagley also in the works, with Sten reprising her role of Reacher's close friend.
Amazon first announced the show in October 2024, which follow Neagley as she sets out to avenge her friend, who died under suspicious circumstances.
Using her skills from Jack Reacher and the 110th Special Investigators, she uncovers a dangerous and menacing conspiracy.
In an interview with Business Insider, author Child teased that the show could debut at the end of 2025.
Back in March, he said: "They start shooting very soon, as a matter of fact! And I think I've seen the screenplays, I think it's going to be excellent, just as good as Reacher, really. So you know, with a bit of luck, the Reacher-verse will dominate the year on Amazon Prime both ends of it."
All three seasons of Reacher are streaming now on Prime Video, with season four and Neagley not too far away - we hope!
