Featuring a plane crash and a person gone missing, Amazon Prime Video's upcoming suspense thriller 'The Widow,' has been compared to a fair few TV series including 'Lost' and movies such as Andie MacDowell's 'Deception.'

The premise of Kate Beckinsale's new series isn't very different from the above-mentioned flicks, but what fans and critics have observed is that the show sounds extremely familiar to another recently released Amazon series 'Strangers.'
