It's actually one of the few shows that manages to do that fairly well.

Plus the Expanse, and Red Oaks.
Red Oaks is ok if your nostalgic for that Fast Times, Dazed and Confuses... 80s/90s teen drama/comedy genre. But its far from great.

The Boys is head and shoulders above anything else they've produced, but thankfully that is a very high bar.

Love the line up but I would also include The Grand Tour. A great show with some great levity.

What other shows/gems should I hit up on Prime?

Bosch. It is one of the best shows I've seen in years. There is 6 seasons to keep you occupied. My wife and I tried to watch one episode per day but wound up getting in two per day because we had to watch more. It was hard to control ourselves.
Another hidden gem is The Firm TV series. It aired about a decade ago on Global and I don't know how it did but it has been pretty good. It picks up with Mitch McDeere 10 yesrs after the movie when he and his family decide to give up being in witness protection.

Come on - you are making the term "great" worthless.

I watched the first season of Hanna. It was pretty good. Kind of fun to have the two leads from The Killing back together on it.

Yes. I found season 3 is where pieces are moved around the board much faster, and season 4 is quite a ride with some very diverse stories.
The first 2 seasons were a lot of build-up and slower for sure, but I stuck with it because of the premise. Glad I did.

All the seasons including the recent number 6 are strong IMO.

It became a chore after that. I finished the series because I felt I had to. It became a background show. The first couple season deserved the praise it received but after that it was really average.

I watched to the end because I love revisionist history and time-travel yarns. I’m going to try to find the novel Time After Time by Ben Elton. It’s revisionist WWI history and the reviews are good.

Yeah nah it doesn't get better or faster paced.
Dude you should bail, don't waste your time.
Did you bail or keep watching, be warned about the ending, it's well...........unfulfilling.
