Hazbin Hotel (2019 - Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 81% IMDb: 7.7/10

Blending crude language, eye-catching aesthetics, and Broadway-level musical talent, Hazbin Hotel is a captivating adult animated series from internet sensation Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano. A dark musical comedy, Hazbin Hotel centers on a place in hell that hopes rehabilitate occupants with the intention of relocating them to heaven. Built on an amusing premise, the series dazzles with star power, featuring the voices of Stephanie Beatriz (Encanto), Alex Brightman, and Keith David.

On its face, Hazbin Hotel is incomparable and should not work, yet the humor is outrageously ridiculous, the visuals are gory and lewd, and the toe-tapping numbers are unforgettable. Hazbin Hotel makes shows like Archer and Rick and Morty feel like child's play. - Yael Tygiel

Perfectly walking the line between touching drama and devilish black comedy, Nip/Tuck more than earned its die-hard fanbase, with 14 years off-screen doing nothing to dispel a wonderful legacy.

'Deadloch' (2023 - Present)

Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDb: 7.4/10

This biting noir comedy from the minds of Kate McCartney and Kate McLennan begins, like the BBC hit Broadchurch, when a body turns up on a beach in the unsuspecting coastal town of Deadloch. Assigned to the case are senior sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box), a woman who was once a detective but demoted herself on the wishes of her wife, and the reckless detective Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami). The two struggle to get on, with Eddie’s impressive but all-too-obnoxious style certainly grating on the much more steadfast approach of Dulcie, but their differences must soon be put aside when they realize there are many more disturbing and intimidating factors at play.

Quirky, dark, and full of devilishly funny comedic beats, Deadloch is one of many Australian comedy/dramas to have made a worldwide splash in recent years — and perhaps it is the best. Both Kate Box and Madeleine Sami are perfect at toeing the line between gritty emotion and a cheeky wink, with both hilarious comedy and intense drama never far away in any given scene. With its gorgeous cinematography and gripping crime-thriller plot, Deadloch is perfect binge-watching material. - Jake Hodges

Featuring a host of memorable characters and a superb central story that hooks you from the first minute, Like a Dragon: Yakuza is a fantastic new addition to Prime Video’s brilliant selection. - Jake Hodges

‘Numb3rs’ (2005 - 2010)

Rotten Tomatoes: 93% | IMDb: 6.9/10

This police procedural with a twist follows Special Agent Don Eppes (Rob Morrow) of the Los Angeles office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who uses the help of his genius brother to solve crimes through the art of mathematics. Whether you’re a fan of the CBS crime procedural or not, Numb3rs is well worth your time. With an innovative premise, the show delivers — thanks in no small part to a dedicated writing team that implements the series’ number-based USP at every possible opportunity. Underappreciated in its day despite a Primetime Emmy nomination, it's about time Numb3rs got some more love. Thankfully, it's ready and waiting to be streamed on Prime. - Jake Hodges
