Luckily, this Amazon Prime Day, in addition to a slew of great Prime Day deals for entertainment fans, there’s a stellar deal on the remote from Amazon, and I know the first five shows I’m going to watch with it!

Now, you might be wondering what a Fire Stick is, and as someone who uses this device, I can tell you it’s a fantastic hub for all your streaming services built to make surfing for the next show to watch easy-peasy.

What Do I Get With The Amazon Fire Stick

Physically, with the Fire Stick, you get everything you need to set the device up. Along with the remote, you get batteries for it. You also will get everything needed for your TV, which includes the HDMI plug, a power chord and an adapter. 

Once all that is set up, you’ll be able to log into all your streaming services, and you can use Alexa commands through the remote.

The Five Shows I’m Going To Watch First On Amazon Prime

While I’ve been using a Fire Stick for years, this deal really got me thinking about all the best shows Prime Video has to offer. Even though there are tons I could recommend you watch with your new Fire Stick and an Amazon Prime subscription, including a number of Amazon Prime streaming deal upgrades, there are five in particular that I think you should prioritize: 

Good Omens: Season 1 of Good Omens – which is based on the fantastical, hilarious, end-of-times book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett – came out in 2019, with Season 2 premiering earlier in the year. That means even more action with David Tennant and Michael Sheen returning as the demon Crowley and the angel Aziraphale.

The Summer I Turned Pretty: The cast of The Summer I Turned Pretty returned for another summer of drama and tears. After Belly chose Conrad in Season 1, its second season allowed us to see how their relationship evolves, and how the messy love triangle between these two and Conrad’s brother Jeremiah plays out.

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel: The fifth and final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel had its run earlier this year, making now is the perfect time to watch it from start to finish. Now that this Prime classic has come to a close, you can watch Midge Maisel’s story unfold in full and take in all the amazingness that is Rachel Brosnahan and the Emmy-winning cast of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power: Stepping back into Middle Earth through such an expansive and visually stunning show was incredible last summer, and luckily we’ll get to revisit the land of Lord of the Rings again with Season 2 of The Rings of Power. While there’s no confirmed date for the next installment of the LOTR prequel, you can go back and re-watch/watch Season 1 so you’re ready to swept back into this fantastical world.

You can catch up on the first three seasons of the John Krasinski led espionage thriller through Prime, and take in Season 4 on your TV as the CIA analyst based on Tom Clancy’s bestsellers takes on his latest mission.
