Sometimes viewers want to dive into a new series on AmazonPrime Video, but never have enough time to commit to the multiple seasons some have to offer. Fortunately, certain shows pride themselves on being short but memorable experiences for viewers to enjoy in a single night or watch over a week or more without feeling like there's any commitment. These shorter series are becoming increasingly popular and tend to tell incredible stories.
Even though there's less time for character development or an emotionally gripping story, the creators of some of these programs rarely disappoint. They pack beautiful stories into such little time and often leave viewers begging for more. For those looking for a new series but don't have much time, these fantastic miniseries are great options that are available on Prime Video.
Starring Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisen, it's relatively clear that this show is going to be fantastic comedy. These two seem to work so well together that anything they star in simply works. This is the case with Forever, a romantic comedy about two people who are just trying to spice up their lives from the normalcy they find themselves trapped in.
It's a great exploration of life's monotony and how many are struggling not to repeat the same cycle every day. All of this with great comedy and some pretty unexpected plot twists.
Each of the five parts of the anthology Small Axe is good on its own, but they become transcendent when put together. Steve McQueen directs five different films, all centered on the lives of West Indian immigrants living in London from the 1960s through the 1980s.
Some films highlight unknown but fascinating real stories, while others focus on culture and social issues related to racism and segregation. All five have similar tones but are also distinct in their own right. Together, the series becomes a unique and revealing experience and possibly one of the most important miniseries that have been recently released on Prime Video.

Little Women (2017)
This classic and timeless romance has seen many screen adaptations over the years, and it seems that no matter who leads or stars in the production, the result is nothing short of sweet and touching. This production, made by television BBC, aired at the end of 2017, dividing the romance into three parts. For those perhaps unfamiliar with the source material, Little Women follows four sisters as they grow up in the mid-19th century.
Despite being overshadowed by Greta Gerwig's adaptation two years later, this retelling of Little Women still has the appeal of a comforting story and recognizable stars.
Fans of Stranger Things will recognize Maya Hawke, who plays Robin in the Netflix series, as the protagonist Jo March in "Little Women". The acclaimed actress Emily Watson also stars in the series as Marmee March, the matriarch of the March family. Both actresses prove their acting prowess in their respective roles, giving depth and complexity to already well-written characters. Little Women isn't necessarily something new, but recaptures the delightful and touching coming-of-age story that many grew up with remarkably well.

The Underground Railroad (2021)
From the director behind the Oscar-winning film Moonlight, this historical fiction drama takes its important subject in new and profound directions. The story follows two enslaved people in 1800 who use the Underground Railroad to find freedom.
In real life, the "Underground Railroad" wasn't a literal railroad, but rather a series of routes and safe houses that would lead enslaved people to freedom. The series, however, transforms it into a literal railroad. Rather than being a simple historical fiction series, The Underground Railroad uses magical realism and alternate history for a dramatic, harrowing, and surprising effect.
