Though the origins of the form stretch back all the way to the multi-part serials of the 1950s, the miniseries format seems tailor-made for the streaming era. Unlike traditional TV shows, which can continue on for season after season and year after year, a miniseries or limited series tells a complete story in a short amount of time, managing to firmly grab hold of your attention across only a handful of episodes.
Fortunately, Prime Video has plenty of great miniseries on offer, so much so that it can make it difficult to narrow down exactly which title in the streaming service's extensive library to binge-watch next. Whether you're in the mood for a historical psychodrama starring Oscar winner Julianne Moore or a coming-of-age satire centered on a 13-foot-tall teenage boy, here are three Prime Video miniseries you should add to your watch list ASAP.
