Amazon Prime's Best Original Shows Of 2022

It took a little while before streaming services figured out that they could easily pad out their programming lineups with reality shows. The downside is that some services – Netflix, we're looking in your direction – go a little overboard with its reality shows, producing just as much empty junk food as legitimately fulfilling fare. Amazon has definitely had some duds in this arena but has also been careful not to flood its market with them — not to mention having one of the best streaming-exclusive reality shows of the last few years.

Singer Lizzo is one of the biggest musicians around, and attaching her name to a reality show is automatically going to give it some cache. As with anything Lizzo does, "Lizzo's Watch Out for the Big Grrrls" is a unique spin on reality-based competition shows that also brings her signature charm and flare to the proceedings. The premise is that 13 women are competing for a spot to be one of Lizzo's dancers, but rather than have it be a cutthroat competition, everyone is supportive of one another and they're just as happy to see their friends advance as if they would've advanced themselves. 

In addition to universal acclaim, "Lizzo's Watch out for the Big Grrrls" also won this year's Primetime Emmy for outstanding reality competition, beating out tough competition from big names such as "The Amazing Race," "The Voice," and "Top Chef."
