Here's a list of the top 10 series I binge-watched on Amazon @PrimeVideo during this pandemic... in no particular order.

Utopia (2020)
The American version, not the 2013 British one. Apparently, die-hard fans of the British original were upset about this interpretation but I loved it.
The story is especially relevant in today's context (a la coronavirus conspiracy theories)

Truth Seekers (2020)
Just wanted to see if this was interesting (it came out this month) and I ended up finishing it in one sitting... on a Monday night 🤦♂️
What can I say? Never could resist a @nickjfrost / @simonpegg combo 🤷♂️

Upload (2020)
This felt like a light hearted version of Black Mirror. Realistic sci-fi with a touch of humour. Fun to watch. Would be interesting to see how the story evolves.

The Magicians (2015-2020)
In the words of @HarnikRocks, I finished all 5 seasons in "an embarrassingly short amount of time" 🤦♂️
Glad I only just discovered it this year though. Waiting for new seasons woulda been tough. But it should have ended at Season 4

Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2015)
1 season, 7 episodes, excellent story. Another series I only just discovered in 2020, 5 years after it aired. Started on a Friday evening. Didn't sleep till 5am. Loved it.

Carnival Row (2019)
Didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. I especially liked the gradual evolution of the most unlikely couples in the story. Interesting call backs to the social issues of today.

Good Omens (2019)
I actually watched this last year but it definitely deserves a spot on this list. I could definitely watch it again, considering @neilhimself is quite the exceptional storyteller. Again it's just one season so it's efficient 👍

The Tick (2016)
A hilarious superhero "origin story" that makes fun of itself and all the usual tropes. Plus our hero gets to eat Tuwo Shinkafa at some point. 2 Seasons you'll definitely enjoy.

American Gods (2017-)
Another Neil Gaiman adaptation that I also saw before the pandemic. It's a definite must-watch. If only to see @TheOrlandoJones' Anansi deliver 2 of the most powerful monologues ever served in the history of television.

Fugget About It (2012-)
I don't know which one this series reminds me more of: Family Guy or Bob's Burgers. But I know I enjoyed it... Every evening for weeks. A nice way to decompress at the end of a long day.

That's my list ☺️
As you can see, it's been a very productive year 😭😭
I left out The Boys and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel as @mstemigiwa already mentioned them in her tweet. Plus I didn't really like season 2 of The Boys as much as season 1.
Anyhoo... Enjoy 😉
