What to Watch on Prime Video This Weekend (July 16 to 19, 2026)

Elle begins in 1995, before Elle Woods reaches the future most viewers already know. In “Pilot,” she expects to control her junior year in Bel Air, only for her parents to announce an unexpected move to Seattle. The episode gives the series a clear starting point: a confident 16-year-old whose carefully planned life is replaced by a new city, new school, and no easy way to keep things on schedule. It focuses on the experiences that begin shaping Elle before the next version of her life takes over.

A high school sociology class in Tennessee takes on a case that had largely slipped from public attention. “Episode 1” introduces the students of Elizabethton High School and their investigation into the Redhead Murders, a series of unsolved killings once reported across the South. What begins as coursework starts producing new questions as the class reviews old evidence and looks for connections that earlier investigations may have missed. The documentary follows the unusual shift from classroom exercise to active casework without treating the students as spectators.

Debbie thinks her best friend Judith works as a forensic accountant. “The Book of Judith” corrects that assumption when Debbie learns Judith is actually an international assassin. A figure from Judith’s past returns, a hit goes wrong, and both women are forced to leave before law enforcement and several dangerous pursuers catch up. The episode turns a long friendship into a European escape story, with Debbie trying to process how little she knew while Judith deals with the professional consequences of being exposed.

Would You Rather: Decide to Survive turns hypothetical choices into physical competition. In “This or That?,” Romesh divides the players into two teams and lets their early decisions start shaping the day. The first oversized challenge determines who gets priority on the choices that follow, including decisions about basic comfort after the competition gets messy. The format takes familiar questions and makes the consequences immediate, leaving the teams to decide which unpleasant option creates the least difficult path forward.
