4. The Staircase

The Staircase continues the true crime trend on this list. This one revisits the already well-documented murder of Kathleen Peterson (Toni Collette) at the hands of her husband, novelist Michael Peterson (Colin Firth). Depicting scenes of family life with the Petersons before Kathleen's death to the trial and its aftermath, The Staircase's buzzy subject matter and starry cast launched it up the most-watched list.

What we thought: To call The Staircasea "true crime classic" is to accurately describe the total dehumanization process that every single real-life person connected to this awful death underwent during their decades in the public eye. But the HBO Max dramatization feels like the final stage of this tragedy-exploitation machine. It not only reduces Kathleen, Michael, and their kids (one of whom is played by Game of Thrones' Sophie Turner) into literal fictional characters for our entertainment consumption, but even adds colorful new personalities like real-life prosecutor Freda Black (portrayed by the inimitable Parker Posey). — Jess Joho, Culture Reporter

A sci-fi Western starring Josh Brolin, Outer Range remains one of the most popular new shows of the week. Brolin plays Royal Abbott, a rancher who discovers a strange black hole on his land. What's the deal with the hole? Who's mysterious drifter Autumn (Imogen Poots)? And what happened to Rebecca, Royal's missing daughter-in-law? The answers to all these questions are one binge away: All eight episodes of Outer Range are streaming on Prime.

6. Hacks

The killer duo of Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) is back in Season 2 of HBO Max's Hacks. This season takes the two comedians on the road for Deborah's new tour, where she's struggling with more personal material. On top of the tour, Ava is worried about a very inflammatory e-mail that she sent at the end of Season 1, which could blow up her whole relationship with Deborah.

What we thought: Deborah's failure to gain momentum on her tour means the first few episodes may move a bit more slowly than you'd expect. But don't doubt for a minute that Hackshas lost its magic. The jokes still land, and Deborah and Ava's interactions are consistently golden... I'll gladly hitch a ride with Deborah and Ava wherever they're going next.— Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

How to watch: Hacks is now streaming on HBO Max, with new episodes every Thursday.

7. Better Call Saul

If you missed Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk), you're clearly not alone. The Breaking Bad prequel, now in its sixth and final season, remains one of the most-watched shows of the week. Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, and Jonathan Banks remain excellent, as do the rest of the cast. Plus, Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul are confirmed to appear this season, so it feels like the gang's really getting back together.

What we thought:For several key players, the stakes have never been higher. Reputations, relationships, and lives are on the line, and mounting tension in the first two episodes alone exposes seldom-seen sides of characters we thought we had all figured out. —Nicole Gallucci, Senior Editor

How to Watch:Better Call Saulis now streaming on Netflix and on AMC+.

8. The Essex Serpent

There, she bonds with Reverend Will Ransome (Hiddleston) on her way to uncover the truth of the beast. An atmospheric Gothic romance with a strong cast, it's no surprise The Essex Serpent is one of the most watched TV shows of the week.

How to watch: The Essex Serpent is now streaming on Apple TV+, with new episodes weekly.
