In over three years at Collider, senior author Jake has now penned over 2500 articles covering a wide range of TV and film for the resources, lists, utilities, news, and interview teams. Alongside interviewing stars such as Selin Hizli, Rose Ayling-Ellis, and Chelsea Peretti, Jake was lucky enough to visit the set of Aardman and Netflix's Wallace and Gromit: A Vengeance Most Fowl in 2024, getting the chance to chat with four-time Academy Award winner Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham. Jake has also worked for other publications, including Agents of Fandom

For over three weeks, the Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell-led Fallout's stunning second season has topped the Prime Video charts in the U.S. Most recently, Episode 4, "The Demon in the Snow," was released and delivered yet another captivating hour of television that deserves its place at the summit of the streaming charts. In fact, so dominant a presence has Fallout been, you would be forgiven for thinking there was little else worth your time on Prime Video. Well, you'd be wrong, and to prove it to you, here's a look at three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.

3 'Wild Cards' (2024–Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDb: 7.2/10

Ready to debut its exciting third season in 2026, prepare for the return of Wild Cards on The CW by binge-watching the first two seasons this weekend on Prime. The crime procedural follows by-the-book detective Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) and con woman Max (Vanessa Morgan), who begin an unlikely partnership on the road to redeeming themselves and solving crimes.

Gianniotti and Morgan are a perfect pairing in this easy-viewing crime procedural. Boasting a perfect 100% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Wild Cards thankfully doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, delivering quality with a tried-and-true formula that will always keep viewers hooked.

2 'Chicago P.D.' (2014–Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 89% | IMDb: 8.1/10

Don't fancy Wild Cards but still want some crime procedural this weekend? Why not head on over to the One Chicago universe and check out the 12 seasons of Chicago P.D. available on Prime? Set in the fictional 21st District, the series follows the professional and personal lives of patrol officers and the department's elite Intelligence Unit, headed by Hank Voight (Jason Beghe).

There's never a dull moment in Chicago P.D. To date, there have been over 250 episodes in this impressive string to the prolific Dick Wolf's bow, and few have disappointed. Season 13 of the series is currently ongoing on network TV, with just two episodes left on NBC. With that in mind, those yet to jump on the bandwagon won't find any better time to start than now.

1 'Continuum' (2012–2015)

Rotten Tomatoes: 88% | IMDb: 7.6/10

For a mind-bending time travel tale this weekend, look no further than Continuum. Set in the year 2077, the series follows police officer Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), who finds herself trapped 65 years previously in present-day Vancouver. With a group of terrorists called Liber8 loose in the city, it is up to Kiera to save the day in this strange new environment.

Boasting a superb central performance from Nichols and supporting turns from the likes of Tony Amendola and Victor Webster, Continuum is a hugely underrated sci-fi series that was cruelly axed before its time. However, every cloud has a silver lining, with this early cancellation leaving just 42 episodes available to binge, making this series a worthwhile, indulgent, yet undaunting task.
