On Friday, we asked which Amazon Prime show is your top streaming choice during these times of staying home. We’ve done a few of these for various streaming services, but never before have we had such a clear cut winner. The Boys cleaned the clock of the competition, pulling away with 45.5% of the vote. The series, which has not returned for its second season yet, is a deconstruction of the superhero genre, adapted from the series of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
Tied for second place was The Prisoner and Orphan Black, two shows that were, eventually, adapted into comics. Each of these series collected 13.6% of the vote, and both represent British television series that developed cult US fanbases.
Coming in third was Farscape, a truly surprising choice, given that shows like The Tick and most iterations of Star Trek are available on Amazon Prime as well. But hey, maybe we’ve all been missing out on the good, good Farscape content. I’m only aware of it from commercials on SyFy back when Mystery Science Theater 3000 was on the network in the 90s.
Check back on Friday for our next Reader Poll!
