We continue to log the performance of shows across Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+ and Max this week, as several shows begin new seasons and others hit new heights. With streaming data remaining elusive, these daily charts give us some sort of insight into how some of these broadcast and cable programs are stacking up compared to the other shows that air on their same networks, as streaming performance continues to play a larger part in renewal decisions.
Hulu:
Hulu remains the most varied chart of the four streamers, with a vast array of programming from a diverse group of networks making up their top fifteen over the week. 9-1-1 was the only show that led their top fifteen multiple times, doing so three times, twice at the beginning of the week and once at the end. It charted each day of the week, and continues to look strong on Hulu even as its ratings on ABC fade. Its spinoff, 9-1-1: Lone Star, remained clearly weaker than the parent show, but managed to remain in the top fifteen for four days. Ryan Murphy's other shows looked solid as well, with a buzzy twist keeping Grotesquerie in the top fifteen for four days this week, with a peak of #5, up from last week. Doctor Odyssey trended for six days and peaked at #3, matching its performance from the previous week. American Sports Story charted twice, down from last week. For the most part, it was ABC shows that performed the best on Hulu. High Potential was in the top five for the entire week, peaking at #1 on Thursday. Grey's Anatomy made the chart six times, and peaked at #2. Abbott Elementary had its strongest showing of the season, peaking at #3 on Friday and charting in the top fifteen six times. Though it remains a same-day ratings dud, The Golden Bachelorette hit #1 on Hulu this week, and made the top fifteen six times. Daytime drama General Hospital made the chart from Tuesday through Saturday. Unscripted shows 20/20 and Dancing with the Stars also charted, leaving Shark Tank, What Would You Do? and America's Funniest Home Videos as ABC's only shows to never crack the top fifteen this week. Fox originals continued to struggle even on Hulu. Rescue: HI-Surf, Murder in a Small Town, Hell's Kitchen, The Masked Singer and The Floor all charted one day this week, while Bob's Burgers held on for two days. Accused and Crime Scene Kitchen again failed to chart, and The Simpsons, Universal Basic Guys and Krapopolis all failed to chart as well. FX's What We Do In the Shadows returned this week and started strong, peaking at #3 the day after it was added to the service, though it fell off the chart pretty fast. The Old Man, the other non-Ryan Murphy show on FX this fall, charted three times in the last week, peaking at #5 the day after its season finale was uploaded. Hulu original Only Murders in the Building held strong this week, and peaked at #1, while Tell Me Lies charted for five days before dropping out, having aired its finale over a week ago. Several movies also made the chart, with Hulu's original Carved peaking at #1 and falling fast, while the theatrically-released horror movie Late Night with the Devil had a strong week after being added to Hulu, charting for six of the last seven days and peaking at #3. Hulu's Bruce Springsteen documentary peaked at #12 the day it was added.

Peacock:
Law & Order: SVU was once again the top attraction on Peacock, never leaving the #1 spot again this week. The long-running procedural drama has long been a top streaming performer, and is showing no signs of slowing down. All of Dick Wolf's other NBC shows charted this week as well, with Chicago PD peaking at #2 on three occasions and remaining the strongest of the Chicago trio, with the exception of a single day. Chicago Fire was the show that upset it, pulling ahead of it on Thursday. All three Chicagos charted each day of the week. Law & Order remained the weakest of Wolf's NBC series, only charting three times and peaking at #7. Though it peaked at #2 and remained consistently in the top ten, Found looked weaker this week than last week, sliding to the bottom of the list twice towards the end of the week before rebounding, though only to #5. It had a sharp drop towards the end of last week as well, but ninth place is a new low for it this season. The Irrational, on the other hand, looked a bit stronger this week on Peacock, charting for six days straight and peaking at #2, in spite of falling linear ratings. SNL and Brilliant Minds both made the top ten only once, though SNL's peak was far higher. New sitcom Happy's Place also trended for a single day, with an 8th place showing on Sunday, though NBC boasted in a press release about the show having the strongest performance on Peacock for any new NBC sitcom yet. Its partner on Friday nights, Lopez vs Lopez, was the sole NBC scripted original of the week to not make a single appearance on the list. Outside of NBC originals, the Real Housewives franchise remained strong, with eight appearances across the week and the Orange County series alone making up for five of those appearances. Peacock original series Teacup trended for four days, and peaked at #6. Peacock's new series Hysteria!, which was released in a binge release format last Friday, peaked at #6 on Monday before dropping to #10 the next day and falling off the list entirely after that, never re-appearing.

Paramount+:
CBS programming remained by far the biggest draw to Paramount+, making up over half of the list throughout the week. NCIS performed the best of all, topping the chart on three days and never dropping out of the top three. While the show is obviously assisted by its large library of over 450 episodes, its consistent performance across the entire week remains impressive. The only other CBS shows to make the trending list on all seven days were sitcoms The Neighborhood and Ghosts. Ghosts peaked at #1 on Saturday, while The Neighborhood peaked at #4 on Tuesday. Sunday drama Tracker was another strong performer, with six appearances and a peak of #2. Much like last week, its only day outside of the top 10 was on Friday. The ending Friday night staple Blue Bloods clocked five appearances, though all were towards the bottom of the list, with a peak of 7th place. The just-renewed Matlock saw its strongest showing yet this week with a peak of #2 and two appearances on the list, opposed to the single day it lasted after last week's airing. Fellow Thursday shows Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage and Elsbeth also both looked better this week, respectively peaking at #5 and #6 and both logging two appearances. NCIS: Origins, FBI, Fire Country and Survivor all trended for one day only. SWAT, 60 Minutes, Poppa's House, FBI: International: FBI: Most Wanted and The Summit all failed to reach the top ten even once. Outside of ongoing CBS originals, Paramount+'s Tulsa King remained a strong performer, topping the top ten twice and only dropping out of the five on one occasion. Nickelodeon's SpongeBob remained a top draw as well, and made the top ten every day.

Max:
The Penguin continued its hold on Max, again leading their top ten chart every day of the last week. It remained a rare scripted option on the list, with unscripted reality shows continuing to make up the majority of Max's top ten. Another scripted option maintaining a consistent place on the list was Young Sheldon, which peaked at #3 on two days over the last week, and has been in the top ten since it was added to the service last Thursday, the same day as the launch of its spinoff, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, on CBS. Young Sheldon's continued strong performance comes as Max weighs a series order for a new Big Bang Theory spinoff, with the franchise's continued strength on Max likely being an encouraging sign. Speaking of franchise's, HBO's Sunday night comedy The Franchise was another scripted entry on the list, with six appearances over the last week. It looked far weaker than the other HBO scripted show on the list, The Penguin, and only ever peaked at #8. That being said, it was at least consistent, staying in the 8-10 range for all six days it appeared. Other HBO shows to crack the top ten includedReal Time with Bill Maher, which logged three appearances and peaked at #3; Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, which made the list three times despite not airing a new episode in the last week; documentary miniseries Breath of Fire, which peaked at #2 two days after its HBO premiere and remained on the list the next day; and new Friday night unscripted comedy It's Florida, Man, which has remained in the top five since its release. Shows from the Discovery networks remained a big draw to Max. Two shows from TLC's 90 Day Fiancé franchise put in eight appearances over two days, with Before the 90 Days remaining the stronger of the two shows. 1000-Lb. Sisters and Sister Wives, two more TLC originals, were among the more popular series of the week, both peaking at #2 and trending for five and four days, respectively. Food Network's Halloween Baking Championship made the top ten twice, the only show from the network to put in an appearance this week. HGTV's Scariest House in America also put in two appearances, peaking at #7.
