For many, this weekend marks the start of the Christmas holidays, while others will continue to work tirelessly: for everyone, here are our streaming recommendations picked from the latest releases and expiring Prime Video content.
Among the new features worth mentioning is Fallout 2, of which the first episode has finally been released: if you need a refresher, here it is. Then there are films like The Bikeriders and Clean, but it is among the expiring content (and, let’s remember, in the “live TV” section) that you can find gems not to be missed, if you have already seen Dimmelo Sottovoce and Merv. During the holidays, in fact, various masterpieces will be deleted from the catalogue, such as the entire Harry Potter saga (but it will return, we are sure), the cult series Stargate SG-1, icons such as The Terminator and Over the Top, and comedies Uptown Girls and Legally Blonde, of which a prequel series will be released in 2026. The choice is yours and have a good weekend!
Fallout 2 (Original USA TV series, science fiction genre) – release date 17 December
Number of episodes and release mode: 8 episodes, one available each week until the season finale on February 4, 2026.
Based on one of the greatest video game series of all time, Fallout tells the story of those who have everything and those who have nothing in a world where there is almost nothing left. Two hundred years after the apocalypse, the peaceful inhabitants of the luxurious fallout shelters are forced to return to the infernal radioactive wasteland that their ancestors had abandoned. To their surprise, they discover that an incredibly complex, insanely bizarre and profoundly violent universe awaits them. The new season will pick up from the epic finale of the first and take audiences on a journey through the Mojave wastelands to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas. The series stars Ella Purnell, Aaron Moten, Walton Goggins, Kyle MacLachlan, Moisés Arias and Frances Turner.
