The Terminal List Leads 3 Elite Prime Video Series to Binge This Week, Nov. 2–6

The Terminal List Holds On

The Terminal List continues its run at the top of Prime Video’s TV rankings for another week. The action thriller, created by David DiGilio and based on novels by Jack Carr, recently returned with a second season.

Chris Pratt stars in the series, which has performed well since its return. The story presents it as one of several shows worth checking out on the streaming platform.

Wild Cards Pairs Two Sleuths

Wild Cards follows Cole Ellis, a detective demoted to patrol duty, and Max Mitchell, a spirited con artist assigned to work with him. The Canadian police procedural was created by Michael Konyves.

Giacomo Gianniotti plays Cole, while Vanessa Morgan plays Max. Their contrasting styles shape the cases, alongside ongoing romantic and family storylines; Martin Sheen, Jason Priestley and Tamara Taylor appear as recurring or guest stars.

The show has earned acclaim for its breezy take on crime procedurals and has maintained a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score across three seasons. Its first season became CBC’s highest-rated new series.

Four Detectives, Four Methods

The article shifts from streaming recommendations to profiles of four detectives: Columbo, Benoit Blanc, Jessica Fletcher and Philip Marlowe. It describes each through a distinct approach to solving cases, from Columbo’s underestimated persistence to Blanc’s room-reading charm.

Peter Falk won four Emmys for playing Columbo across five decades. Rian Johnson was nominated for a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Knives Out in 2020; Wake Up Dead Man arrived on Netflix in December, bringing the Blanc films to three in six years.

Angela Lansbury received twelve Emmy nominations for playing Fletcher and never won for the role. The series ran twelve seasons, and Jamie Lee Curtis is bringing the character back. Humphrey Bogart played Marlowe in The Big Sleep in 1946, and Elliott Gould, Robert Mitchum and Liam Neeson have also taken the part.
