Amazon Prime adds ‘addictive’ TV drama that viewers can’t stop watching

If you’re looking for your summer TV binge, then Amazon Prime has the perfect show for you.

Yes, why not escape the bad weather by taking a trip to the bright lights of Beverly Hills, because all five seasons of 90210 are now available to stream on Prime Video.

Based on the classic 90s series, Beverly Hills, 90210, this pulpy drama tracks the trials and tribulations of Annie (Shenae Grimes) and Dixon (Tristan Wilds) Wilson, who recently moved to the luxurious postcode with their parents.

As the siblings head to their prestigious new school, West Beverly Hills High, the pair quickly befriend a group of uber-rich teens and shenanigans ensue.

While it would be generous to call the show beloved – a quick glimpse at it 43% on Rotten Tomatoes proves that – the show maintained a dedicated fanbase.

Indeed, its trashy plots and sensationalised stories meant 90210 was many a critic’s guilty pleasure back in the day.

Brian Tallerico of HollywoodChicago.com, wrote as much in his review.

‘Much to my surprise, I found 90210 to be a satisfactory guilty pleasure,’ he claimed. ‘A sun-soaked diversion that’s a great alternative for when you want to zone out after a long day at work or school.’

Alan Sepinwall was also enthusiastic about the show, writing in his Newark Star-Ledger review that it was ‘remarkably faithful in tone and spirit to the original adventures of Brandon, Brenda, Scott Scanlon and company.’

Of course, general audiences were much kinder to the show than critics.

On a rather glowing Google review, Vanisha Arjune claimed the show was addictive.

‘This show is so amazing,’ she wrote. ‘I am literally addicted, I can’t stop watching. When I first started watching, I wasn’t sure how it would go, but now I don’t regret it.’

Ace Lezotte felt similarly, awarding the series five stars and writing, ‘love this one of my fave series binged it so many times.’

Nimue Hoffmeester wrote perhaps the most glowing review, claiming ‘90210 is one of those shows – you know, the ones you can watch over and over and over again, without growing to dislike it.’

‘I recommended the show to all my friends and it would constantly be playing in the background while I studied,’ they continued. I hate to admit it – I am obsessed.’

All five seasons of 90210 are now streaming on Prime Video.
