The first season of "Harlem" has 10 episodes, and the series was recently renewed for a second season.

'Good Omens'

Adapted from Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's novel of the same name, "Good Omens" follows an angel (Crowley) and a demon (Aziraphale) who have lived on Earth since the beginning of time as representatives of heaven and hell. As a large cast of characters argue for or against the coming of the Antichrist, Crowley and Aziraphale team up to stop it.

'The Underground Railroad'

Adapted from the 2016 novel of the same name by Colson Whitehead, "The Underground Railroad" is a historical drama that uses magical realism to tell the story of people attempting to escape from slavery in the 1800s. In the series, the Underground Railroad is a real railroad, instead of the network of people and hidden routes that made up the real-life Underground Railroad. 

The 10-episode miniseries is created and directed by Barry Jenkins, who is best known for directing and co-writing "Moonlight." In 2021, the series won the Golden Globe for best miniseries or television movie.

'Fleabag'

Fleabag is the name of the young woman at the center of this British dark comedy set in London. She speaks directly to the audience with an unrelenting sarcasm as she struggles to keep her café open and stop the people around her from driving her insane.

Lead actress and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge originally created the character for a 10-minute stand-up performance and adapted "Fleabag" into a one-woman stage performance years before the TV series debuted in 2016.

"Fleabag" is separated into two six-episode seasons released years apart. In 2019, the second season of "Fleabag" racked up a number of high-profile awards, including Emmys for outstanding comedy series, outstanding lead actress, and outstanding writing for a comedy series.

Amazon recently announced that Waller-Bridge will return to the service with a new original series set to begin production in 2022.

'The Expanse'

This science fiction series is based on the book franchise of the same name created by James S. A. Corey. In the distant future, humanity has colonized the solar system, building a civilization that spans multiple planets and moons. Three major factions, the United Nations of Earth, the Congressional Republic on Mars, and the Outer Planets Alliance, are at the brink of war.

"The Expanse" focuses on a crew of vigilantes hailing from different parts of the solar system as they try to stop a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart the delicate peace between their universe's political powers.

Though the series originally debuted on Syfy, it moved to Prime Video for its fourth season in December 2019. The sixth and final season premiered in December 2021.

'Modern Love'

"Modern Love" takes inspiration from the weekly New York Times column of the same name. The show is an anthology series, so each episode tells a different story with different actors. Each episode explores love in a different form: second chances, the love between parent and child, first loves, and meet-cutes. 

The first season of "Modern Love" featured performances from Anne Hathaway, Dev Patel, Tina Fey, and Andrew Scott, among many others. In season two, Minnie Driver, Kit Harington, Anna Paquin, and Sophie Okenedo joined the cast. Sixteen episodes are currently available to stream.

"The Man in the High Castle" explores an alternate timeline where Nazi Germany and Japan prevailed over the Allied Powers in World War II and conquered the world. The series follows multiple characters living in this alternate timeline as they gradually discover that there are other timelines where the Axis was defeated.

"The Man in the High Castle" is based on Philip K. Dick's award-winning novel, and executive produced by Ridley Scott ("Blade Runner") and Frank Spotnitz ("The X-Files").

The series concluded with its fourth and final season in November 2019.
