For people like me and (if you are reading this article then), the superhero genre must serve as a happy escape from the stressful and sometimes unfair real world outside. In shows, justice is served no matter what. The little guy is saved, and the big bad gets punished. And that is very attractive in this cutthroat world where life often has us by our balls! So, while you wait for the triannual (or is it quarterly now?) Marvel studio releases and annual DC releases, we have rounded up a list of the greatest Superhero shows currently streaming on Amazon Prime video.

Have trust; they are definitely worth a binge-watch session! Read on to find a perfectly curated list of superhero shows (in no particular order) with all the details you would want to take your pick.

This hilarious and eccentric superhero show on Amazon Prime video has a lot of improbably funny situations and is full of witty dialogues. It occurs in a parallel world where the never-ending battle between good and evil is ongoing. There is a blue-suited superhero and his nervous normal human sidekick who try to take on the town supervillain.

Unfortunately for the fans, the series has been given the axe just after two seasons due to the insufficient amount of publicity this underrated show got. (To be honest, I discovered this 2016 show and fell in love with it while researching for this article!)
