'The Widow' review: Amazon's new suspense thriller is a riveting binge as Kate Beckinsale nails her return to TV

The eight-episode series will keep you gasping and praying as stories connect and unfurl in the unlikeliest of manners

There's something extremely and extraordinarily fierce about a woman fighting for her loved ones, be it for her children or her husband. 'The Widow,' as the title suggests is a story of a British woman named Georgia Wells (Kate Beckinsale), who believes her husband, Will Mason (Matthew Le Nevez), died in a plane crash until she is proven wrong.

Three years after living the life of a widow in Wales, U.K., she embarks on a dangerous journey to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), fighting the kind of odds that can only be imagined. There are simultaneous flashbacks happening as we delve in to understand the story better and make up our own mind if Georgia Wells is chasing a ghost, or if her husband is really alive.
