The best movies and TV shows coming to Amazon Prime Video in January

After taking time off to travel, relax and catch up with friends and family, it can be tough to dive back in to your routine after the holiday season. I find that the best way to ease myself back into the every day grind is to distract myself with TV shows and movies as soon as the work day is over, which is why I’m especially intrigued with the content coming to Amazon Prime Video in January.
