Amazon Prime Video Top 10 Shows and Movies: New Releases and Most Popular Today, December 9

A good murder mystery is a recipe for streaming success, and the new series Three Pines is cooking up a feast on Amazon Prime Video's Top 10 Shows and Movies list. The series has moved up to the No. 2 spot on the charts, and with its weekly rollout of new episodes on Fridays, it has a real shot at the top spot over the weekend as The Peripheral begins its inevitable fade now that its first season is over. It seems the Christmas spirit was fleeting for Prime members, as the new holiday film Your Christmas or Mine? is already down two spots to No. 8 after premiering at No. 6 yesterday. But there's another chance for festive cheer as Prime Video's biggest Christmas movie, Something From Tiffany's, is out today. 

The most popular movies and shows on Amazon Prime Video are below, but we'll also chime in on whether or not they're worth watching. Just because people are watching something, that doesn't mean it's good, right? And to help you plan what you'll watch next, we've added the new shows and movies coming to Prime Video, too.
