It was a bit of a quiet week on streaming, with few new entries and most of the streamers' top ten (or fifteen) charts being pretty stable over the course of the week. Keep reading to see which shows dominating this week, and which shows struggled to stay afloat as the summer season kicks into high gear.
Hulu:
The top of the Hulu chart looked about the same as last week, as The Handmaid's Tale and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives were the only shows to hit #1 this week. The Handmaid's Tale, which aired its series finale, had far more days at #1, spending six days at the top this week, and being #2 on the chart the other day. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was #1 for a single day, but remained a top five performer the rest of the week, even two weeks out from the release of the second season. ABC is pretty much out of the broadcasting game entirely at the moment, airing just three shows in the last week, two of them being practically invisible on Hulu. 20/20 did the best it could, peaking at #3 on the chart and clinging onto the top ten for nearly the entire week. Jeopardy! Masters snuck onto the chart twice this week, at #15 two days in a row, its first time charting on Hulu this season. The Rookie is the only ABC series to remain on the chart since its finale, while 9-1-1 logged five chart appearances this week and Grey's Anatomy logged four. Daytime soap General Hospital was, amazingly enough, the best-performing ABC series this week, peaking at #2 on the chart and charting six days. Celebrity Wheel of Fortune again failed to chart this week. Fox did the best it could to take advantage of Hulu's content drought. Gordon Ramsay's Secret Service has looked very strong in its run so far, peaking at #2 on the chart and only once dropping out of the top five on Hulu since its debut. MasterChef hasn't looked as strong, charting six days and ranging from #7 to #13 on the chart on the days if did appear. With nearly all other scripted series off for the season, Alert: Missing Persons Unit and The Cleaning Lady both looked better than usual this week. Alert charted four days this week, and peaked at #4, while The Cleaning Lady had its best performance of the season, peaking at #6, also charting four days. Family Guy charted five times this week as it moved to Thursdays, peaking at #7. Bob's Burgers only charted the one day, at #10. That was still better than Grimsburg and The Great North, which remain Hulu flops, unable to chart whatsoever. LEGO Masters and America's Most Wanted also failed to chart again. Outside of broadcast, FX debuted new comedy series Adults, which started at #4 on the charts and slipped to #5 the next day. Though the show will air weekly on FX, the entire first season has already been added to Hulu, so it's unlikely that the show will remain on the chart throughout its four-week linear run. FX reality series Welcome to Wrexham also charted this week, appearing twice on the chart and peaking at #8. Hulu original Nine Perfect Strangers peaked at #2 this week, but spent the majority of the week around #6 on the chart, a pretty mediocre performance at the start of the season.

Disney+:
It was a dismal week for TV series on Disney+. Just one series charted the entire week, that being Andor. The Star Wars offshoot started the week at #8 on the chart, reached #7 at its best point, and was off the week entirely by Saturday. It was still, by default, their best-performing series. The Lilo & Stitch franchise continued to perform well on Disney+ this week, with the original film topping the chart for much of the week. Stitch! The Movie and Leroy & Stitch charted through the week, while Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has A Glitch charted five days of the last week, taking a two-day break from the chart in the middle of the week and spending the remainder of the week as the highest-ranked Lilo & Stitch sequel. Also topping the chart this week was a new entry to Disney+: recent Marvel theatrical feature Captain America: Brave New World, which has been #1 since it dropped on the streamer. Other films spending on the top 10 this week included The Devil Wears Prada, Alvin and the Chipmunks and its sequel, Mufasa: The Lion King, and Roge One: A Star Wars Story.

Note: Disney+ is the only service not to provide a separate list for TV shows and movies. On this chart, movies are listed in bold.
Peacock:
It was business as usual on Peacock this week, as the chart saw no new entries this time around. Law & Order: SVU remained on top for the entire week once again, with no show pulling ahead of it despite the procedural ending its season several weeks ago. Poker Face remained #2 on the service for six days of the last week, remaining the best-performing Peacock original. Law & Order: Organized Crime continued to pale in comparison to it, with the SVU spinoff charting for five days of the last week and only peaking at #6, despite minimal new competition. NBC had few entries on the chart this week, with Dateline being the only show that aired in the last week to chart, doing so for two days at the start of the week. The Chicago trio - which, like SVU, ended their seasons a few weeks ago - all remained on the chart the entire week, though Chicago Med slipped towards the bottom of the chart this week, and is at risk of slipping off the chart soon. NBC doesn't have a very full TV lineup at the moment, but Yes Chef, America's Got Talent, Destination X and Transplant all failed to chart, even with there being so little competition. Peacock continued to look like Bravo+ this week, with The Valley, Summer House, Real Housewives of Atlanta and Below Deck Down Under all spending multiple days on the chart. Days of Our Lives also had a strong week, rising as high as #3 on the chart this week, logging five chart appearances.

Paramount+:
It was another dominant week on Paramount+ for Criminal Minds, with MobLand being the only show to keep it from a clean sweep at the #1 spot. Criminal Minds ended up topping the chart six days of the last week, while MobLand topped the chart one day, remaining in the top five for five more days beyond that. CBS had practically nothing new on the air this week, so their most popular shows stuck around the chart, in spite of ending weeks ago. NCIS was the most popular CBS series on the chart, peaking at #2, never once leaving the top five. Also charting every day were Ghosts and Survivor, which has seen a huge surge in Paramount+ interested during the latter half of season 48, as anticipation builds for its milestone 50th season, which just announced its cast on Wednesday. Comedies The Neighborhood and Georgie & Mandy also charted multiple days this week, as did FBI, which stayed on the chart the first four days of the week - the most appearances it's ever made on the Paramount+ chart in a given week, tied with last week. Blue Bloods even managed to return to the chart for a day this week, roughly six months after it ended its run. RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars improved this week, peaking at #5 and making the chart two days in a row. SkyMed returned to the chart midway through the week, and logged four appearances in all. Showtime's The Chi, just renewed for season eight, charted through the week, peaking at #2 and only once dipping out of the top five.

Max:
Two of Max's heavy-hitters exited the airwaves this week, and it was actually a below-average week for both, thanks to some new entries shaking up the chart. The Last of Us remained a big deal in its final week of season two, but it lost out on the #1 spot at the very end of the week. That was the first time since its premiere that the series was not the #1 TV entry on Max, as it shifted to #2 on the platform. With minimal competition from HBO (their next Sunday night tentpole will be a crime docuseries that runs until The Gilded Age is back in mid-June), it is conceivable that it could return to the top spot in the near future, or at the very least, remain towards the top of the chart. Hacks also ended its season this week. After spending much of its run at #2 on the chart, the acclaimed comedy was unable to reach #2 on the chart even once this week, blocked by four different shows this week. It peaked at #3, spending four days there, and dropped to #4 at its worst point, still a solid performance. Sex and the City sequel series And Just Like That... returned to Max this week, and made a gradual return to the chart. Anticipation for the new season brought it to #7 on the chart before a single episode of season three was released, and it was up to #2 with only a few hours of viewership tracking on Friday morning. On Saturday, it emerged as the top series on Max, being the first show to dethrone The Last of Us after what's been a powerhouse performance for the apocalyptic drama. Renewed interest in the franchise was also able to bring Sex and the City back onto the chart on Saturday at #10. Max drama Duster remained on the chart through the week, but is looking like the weakest scripted series from the Max/HBO side of WBDiscovery right now, peaking at #4 and dipping as low as #9. That's worse than last week at both levels, though competition was a bit tougher this week. HBO documentary Pee-Wee As Himself, a four-hour look into the legendary children's performer Paul Reubens split into two episodes, had a solid run in comparison with similar HBO documentaries, peaking at #2 and remaining in the top ten through the week. The Rehearsal aired its season finale this week as well, and peaked a bit higher than usual, reaching #3 on the chart at its best point, and dropping as low as #8. It's clearly a more niche series than most other high-profile HBO series, but it's had a fairly solid run on the Max chart, charting pretty consistently after a tepid first week. Real Time with Bill Maher didn't air last week on Memorial Day weekend, so it made just one chart appearance this week, at #7 on the chart. That's below-average for the show, which often peaks around fourth on the chart on Fridays. Conan O'Brien Must Go departed the chart after two days this week, following its finale the week prior, charting at #5 and #8 during its two appearances this week. As always, networks from the Discovery end of Warner Bros. Discovery also put several entries on the chart. Sherri Papini: Caught in the Lie, an ID documentary featuring a sit-down interview with the perpetrator of a high-profile kidnapping hoax, peaked at #2 for two days. Also performing well were Toxic and new 90 Day Fiancé spinoff Hunt for Love (both charting three days, peaking at #7), Polyfamily (charting three days, peaking at #6), Sister Wives (charting two days, peaking at #5), and Homicide Hunter: American Detective (charting two days, peaking at #6).
