This week marks the end of 2024 which brought us several prestigious TV series on Prime Video (here are the best ones) and the beginning of 2025 which we hope will be even better, but if you are here it is because you want some advice on choosing what to watch on the streaming platform of Amazon in the next few days. So starting with the new releases, we would like to point out that the action film Absolution arrives on New Year’s Eve, while the following day the British thriller series The Rig returns with its second season and the sentimental film It ends with us comes out on the 3rd. But in the meantime, there are several more or less dated films that will be deleted from the catalog in the next few days: scroll down the list to the bottom to choose your rewatch from the expiring titles. Happy ending and happy beginning!
