It was a busy week on streaming this week, with several new entries joining the fray, plus finales for some big hits. Keep reading to see what was trending on Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, Paramount+ and Max this week!
Hulu:
Hulu saw a fairly eclectic collection of #1 shows this week, with five different series hitting the top spot. Good American Family was one of two shows to lead the way for multiple days, #1 for two days before beginning to descend down the chart after airing its miniseries finale last week. In fact, after Monday, it slipped at least one spot each day. The Rookie was the other show to hit #1, making a triumphant return to the top spot after being blocked the last few weeks. It remained in the top ten the entire week, hitting #8 at its lowest point. The Handmaid's Tale was #1 for a single day this week, dropping to #6 at its worst point. ABC's American Idol and 9-1-1 also hit #1 for one day each. Will Trent peaked at #3 this week, slipping to #11 at its lowest point. Grey's Anatomy peaked at #2 this week, though it dropped as low as #12. Doctor Odyssey had a somewhat above-average week, at least for this point in the season, charting five days and peaking at #6. 20/20 peaked at #3 and charted five days. Shark Tank, Bad Romance, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! Masters all failed to chart. Daytime soap General Hospital charted six days this week, peaking at #6. Fox had some decent performers on the chart as well, in addition to their fair share of absolute clunkers. Family Guy charted just two days this week, peaking at #10. Alert charted three days, and peaked at #5. As usual, its lead-in, The Cleaning Lady, charted for only one day, hitting #9. The Masked Singer had
by far its best showing of the season, charting three days in all and rising as high as #3 for the week of its finale. It previously hadn't entered the top five at any point this week. Next Level Chef remained a solid performer, charting six days and tying The Masked Singer as the highest-peaking Fox show of the week. Farmer Wants a Wife also continued to perform respectably, charting five days and peaking at #7, much better than the comedies it replaced, which was still good enough for a renewal for them. outside of broadcast TV, Freeform's The Stolen Girl remained on the chart all week, peaking at #4.

Disney+:
The Force (or, perhaps, "the fourth") was with Disney+ this week. Boosted by a "May the Fourth" celebration that highlighted the franchise on the Disney+ home page, most of the chart this week was taken up by series and films from the Star Wars franchise. Andor hit #1 for one day this week, actually slipping behind several other Star Wars properties on a few occasions, dropping as low as #9 on the day after May the Fourth. New animated series Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld debuted on May the Fourth, and spent three days at #1. It's remained in the top three since its debut. Other Star Wars properties to chart multiple times this week included the entire prequel trilogy, the original Star Wars film (later retitled A New Hope) and sequel The Empty Strikes Back, and Rogue One, the film that inspired Andor. Few other titles made the chart this week outside of the Star Wars films, but Kung Fu Panda was the most notable, hitting the top spot three times this week. A special look at Thunderbolts, which has been in theaters for a week now, remind on the chart for most of the week.

Peacock:
It goes without saying at this point that Law & Order: SVU was the top show on the Peacock charts the entire week. The show is a streaming powerhouse, and easily their strongest series. Its success hasn't really translated to the other Law & Order shows. Law & Order had another week without a single appearance on the chart, while Organized Crime had a down week, only rising to #7 on the chart after the release of its newest episode. It was actually stronger at the start of this week, roughly three days after the release of the prior new episode, having peaked at #4 for the week. It charted six days in all, which is still a solid enough showing despite not being an SVU-level performer. The Chicago series remained reliable middle-of-the-chart performers, with PD peaking at #3, It was usually the strongest of the trio, though it did drop below both other Chicagos for a few days this week. Chicago Fire was the second-strongest of the trip this week, while Med was the weakest. Dateline and SNL were the only other NBC series to chart this week, both at #9 for a single day. Suits LA, Night Court and Found all got bad news, being canceled by NBC this week, and their streaming performance was also pretty lousy, not charting at all. Also failing to chart were The Voice, Yes Chef and Grosse Pointe Garden Society. Emmy-nominated Peacock original Poker Face returned this week, and has been #2 on the chart since its return. Days of Our Lives charted five days this week. Several Bravo series also charted this week, including The Valley, Real Housewives of Atlanta, Below Deck Down Under, Summer House and new series Love Hotel, the first three all peaking at #2 this week.

Paramount+:
Criminal Minds was back for another season this week, its third as a Paramount+ original. It's typically a top performer on Paramount+ even when new episodes aren't being actively released, so it's no shock to see it immediately rush to the top of the charts. It's been there since its return, blocking Survivor and Ghosts from the top spot after several weeks of those shows hitting #1. Fellow Paramount+ original MobLand also topped the chart, for a single day, remaining on the chart through the week. CBS had many strong entries, though. Most notable was NCIS, which topped the chart twice, and never dropped out of the top five. Tracker also hit #1, charting six days in all this week. The Equalizer ended its run on Sunday at #7 on the chart, a slight improvement over the previous week. Watson charted just behind it at #8. The Neighborhood ended its penultimate season peaking at #4 on the chart, charting five days in all. FBI peaked at #3 this week over two appearances, while FBI: Most Wanted had one of its better performances this season, hitting #9 on the chart. FBI: International was one of the only CBS shows this week not to chart at all, the other being Hollywood Squares. Survivor peaked at #3 this week, but charted six days, one of its best showings of the season. The Amazing Race also made its first appearance on the Paramount+ chart this week, at #10 on Thursday. Ghosts remained ever-present on the chart this week, peaking at #2 for two days. Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage charted four days this week, peaking at #4. Elsbeth ended its second season at #6 on the chart, again charting for a single day. SWAT hit #7 on the chart this week. Paramount+ reality competition series RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars returned this week at #5 on the chart, slipping to #8 the next day, a solid start for an unscripted Paramount+ original. Happy Face slipped off the char after three days on it at the start of the week.

Max:
It was another clean sweep for The Last of Us, with the tentpole HBO drama ranking as the top TV offering on Max for the entire week. While several other series on Max seem to be performing very well themselves, none have been able to compete with The Last of Us, with the show having an unbroken streak at #1. The Righteous Gemstones was the next-strongest series on the service this week, with the veteran comedy airing is series finale this week. The latest series in HBO's long-lasting partnership with Danny McBride, the show was #2 for four days this week as it celebrated its series finale, slipping to #3 on the chart the last two days of the week, after starting the week at #4. Hacks was the only other show to peak as high as #2, doing so three times this week, though it dropped significantly lower than Gemstones, bottoming out at #7 this week. The Rehearsal peaked at #5 this week, this time remaining on the chart for the entire week. Talk variety series Last Week Tonight and Real Time both peaked at #3 this week. Last Week Tonight charted through the week, though was often towards the bottom of the chart, while Real Time charted three days this week. The White Lotus and The Pitt both departed the chart this week, after being on the chart since they both premiered their most recent seasons. Travel show Conan O'Brien Must Go returned for a second season, starting at #4 and dipping to #5, a decent start for an unscripted Max original, though it's still very early in its run. Series from many WB/Discovery cable networks continued to chart, including Food Network's Last Chef Standing, TLC's 90 Day Fiancé franchise and freshman reality series Polyfamily, and ID's Toxic.
