'A New Program Graduates from Amazon Prime Video's Top 10, Dethroning Reacher'
The Return of Reacher Falls Short, But Invincible Soars
Amazon Prime Video's completionist viewers are raving about the recent finale of Invincible, dethroning Jack Reacher as the platform's top-viewed returning series. The finale battle between Mark and the Viltrumite enforcer Conquest has left fans enraptured, earning a perfect 10/10 score on IMDb, a feat seldom achieved by any episode.
The climactic episode was a thrilling spectacle, with over two-thirds of the runtime dedicated to an unremitting fight scene. It is widely considered the series' best episode, with last week's Invincible War giving it a run for its money. The show's creators, Robert Kirkman, have announced that season 4 is on the horizon, promising a more timely release than prior seasons.
Meanwhile, Reacher's decline does not imply a fall from grace. The series has already been renewed for a fourth season and will undoubtedly reclaim the top spot in no time. The Wheel of Time Season 3, which recently premiered, currently ranks third on the list, moving up as fans complete Invincible.
Amazon's recent success with fewer shows but higher quality content is noteworthy. Nevertheless, Invincible's finale remains the platform's crown jewel, leaving viewers in awe of the epic conclusion.
By the way, if you're curious, The Wheel of Time season 3 is off to a great start, receiving a 94% critic score, surpassing both seasons 1 and 2. The series has also gained an impressive 89% audience score, indicating widespread appreciation amongst viewers. Despite its popularity, it is uncertain if Amazon will commit to more seasons, as adapting the vast source material could prove challenging.
