Prime Video has a new hit on its hands, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. The streamer dropped *Butterfly* just two weeks ago, and the spy-thriller is already one of the most-watched shows on the platform, both in the U.S. and globally. Right now, it’s sitting pretty at #2, just behind *The Summer I Turned Pretty*.

So, what’s the buzz about? *Butterfly* is a gritty action series that mixes the vibes of *Reacher* with a bit of James Bond flair. It stars Daniel Dae Kim (yes, the *Lost* legend) as a former intelligence operative whose past comes back to haunt him in the worst way possible—he’s now being hunted by a dangerous sociopath. The show also features Reina Hardesty, Louis Landau, and Piper Perabo.

Critics weren’t exactly blown away, giving the show a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes. But fans? Totally different story. On the audience score—aka the Popcornmeter—it’s rocking an 87%, which explains why viewers are binging it like crazy. The show is also based on Arash Amel’s graphic novel and was brought to TV by Steph Cha.

Daniel Dae Kim has been busy lately. Not only is he leading *Butterfly*, but his voice is also *KPop Demon Hunters* *Red Notice* as the platform’s most popular movie ever. Plus, he’s set to appear as Fire Lord Ozai in Netflix’s live-action *Avatar: The Last Airbender* season two, coming next year.

And if you’re scrolling through Prime for more hits, there’s plenty to check out. Ice Cube’s *War of the Worlds* remake—despite a brutal 2% critic score—is oddly pulling big streaming numbers. *Heads of State* with John Cena and Idris Elba is still going strong over a month after release, and *Ballard*, the *Bosch: Legacy* spin-off led by Maggie Q, is barely hanging on at #9.
