Looking to binge-watch a new Prime Video show, or looking for some Valentine’s Day counter-programming for the weekend? Whether you want to cozy up to your significant other in front of the TV or distract yourself from the lovey-dovey festivities altogether, Amazon’s streaming service has a little something for every TV viewer this weekend.
To narrow down all of that choice, though, we here at Tom’s Guide are giving you a little early V-Day gift in the form of personally sifting through what’s new on Prime Video in February and picking out a handful of options worth streaming.
‘Cross’ season 2
Brilliant homicide detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross (Aldis Hodge) is back for more thrilling cases in the second season of “Cross,” Prime Video’s screen adaptation of the bestselling novel series written by James Patterson. The crime drama was already a massive thrill in its first season, and we’re happy to report that the follow-up is just as engaging and even more brutal and twisty than ever.
Season 2 finds the titular detective and best friend-slash-partner John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa) in pursuit of a ruthless female vigilante — very skilled when it comes to knives — who is hunting down corrupt billionaire magnates, per the show’s official logline.

‘Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association’
Told by Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Larry Brown, Bob Costas and a host of other Hall of Famers, this four-part Prime Video docuseries details how the American Basketball Association (ABA) shaped the future of the famed sport forever.
The series chronicles the 1967 start of the league and explores how this collection of franchises — most of which relocated or folded — challenged the more established NBA on and off the court for nine riveting seasons. It also dives into the lasting impact of the ABA: the introduction of the 3-point shot, the All-Star Game slam dunk competition, the addition of former ABA franchises like the Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets, Indiana Pacers, and San Antonio Spurs to the NBA and the rise of superstar players like Julius Erving, Moses Malone, and Spencer Haywood.

‘Jesy Nelson: Life After Little Mix’
Pop-music lovers know Jesy Nelson as a member of the massively popular British girl group Little Mix, known for hit songs like “Shout Out to My Ex,” “Black Magic,” “Sweet Melody” and “Wings,” among others. But a new three-episode docuseries gives you an intimate front-row view of the famous singer off-stage as she becomes a mother for the first time.
“Raw, tender and empowering, it captures her emotional journey—from the joys and heartbreaks of a troubled pregnancy to redefining her identity beyond fame,” reads the doc’s official synopsis, which also teases that, for the first time, the new series will also see Jesy revealing the truth behind her split from the band.
