When it comes to finding solid content to stream, I always look at Rotten Tomatoes scores. While I take them with a grain of salt – since beauty is in the eye of the beholder – these scores still have a marked influence on what gets added to my watchlist and what gets categorized as a maybe. However, when RT scores reach high levels, they indicate that something needs attention, and that’s what this weekend’s Amazon Prime Video recommendations are about.

In this weekend’s mix of recommendations, our top pick is a 2020 sci-fi adventure series that rose in popularity to a 100% review score, and there it remains. This selection is followed by an underrated 2010 sitcom loved by RT audiences and a new series from Guy Ritchie that critics already love. So, before you go on a binge, grab your favorite snacks. You’ll need it to accompany all the action, entertainment, unforgettable characters and performances, and well-structured narratives.

Young Sherlock

This isn’t the Sherlock your mother remembers

It’s also directed by Guy Ritchie and definitely continues his affinity for the fun Cockney gangster aesthetic, similar to his previous film. Sherlock Holmes movies and other movies like To tear out.

Blue Mountains State

Alan Ritchson like you’ve never seen him before

Before Alan Ritchson became famous as Jack Reacher, he was Kevin Devlin “Thad” Castle in Blue Mountains State. His performance as a completely immature, hyper-aggressive, very loud and arrogant college football linebacker was his first major starring role in a television series. It’s also a must-see if you’re a Ritchson fan.

The satirical sitcom boasts an audience score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and focuses on the chaotic lives of football players in the fictional Blue Mountain State, a Midwest college football powerhouse. Its tale follows three new freshmen—a happy-go-lucky quarterback, his best friend/mascot, and a wild team captain—as they quickly adjust to college life, juggling football, incessant hazing, heavy partying with the girls, and classes.

As one of the most underrated sitcoms of all time and a must-see “party” sitcom, Blue Mountains State features over-the-top, raunchy 2010s comedy, outrageous football culture, and a fast-paced, irreverent look at college stereotypes. Although Thad Castle is the star, you’ll love all these characters and their hedonistic storylines.

Wandering Queen

A fair space opera full of adventure

Although it premiered in 2020 and only had one season, Wandering Queen is currently gaining popularity thanks to its perfect review score on Rotten Tomatoes. The sci-fi adventure show is based on the Jump comic series and follows an orphaned renegade outlaw queen living in the far reaches of the galaxy.

Chicago Fire‘s Adriyan Rae stars as Elida Al-Feyr, a former child queen turned scavenger living her life on the run after the Republic government killed her family and violently overthrew their kingdom. After running into his old enemy Isaac (Schitt Creek‘s Tim Rozon) and optimistic mechanic Amae (Slumber Party Massacre(Alex McGregor), Elida learns that they have escaped the army of her sworn enemy, Commander Lazaro (Maze Runner: The Deadly Cure‘s Paul du Toit), and that his mother may still be alive. With Isaac and Amae at her side, Elida returns to her broken kingdom to stage a rescue before her deadly childhood enemy finds them.

What’s great about this 10-episode series is that in addition to its righteous space adventure, charismatic characters, super funky locations and narrative full of heart and humor, the space opera features an all-female cast of writers and directors and a black queer heroine. Yes, it was canceled way too soon, but it sure makes for a perfect weekend.

As the new year continues to unfold, expect more high-performing recommendations to come. There are more of them than you think, and if you don’t believe me, check out the list of everything coming to Prime Video in March.
