So many crimes this week.
The videos of real women having sex with animalssheer volume of new and returning series makes picking your latest binge sometimes feel like plucking a needle out of a haystack, with the whole thing made even more complicated by the number of recommendations you're likely receive from friends and social media on any given day.
So, where to start? Well it's not necessarily a measurement of quality, but it might helpful to at least know what most people have been tuning into. We've used streaming aggregator Reel Good, which pulls viewing figures from streaming services in the U.S. and UK, to narrow down the top 10.

From the return of everybody's favourite lawyer to a new British courtroom drama, here are the most popular TV shows this week. Let's go...
1. Moon Knight
Mark? Steven? Credit: Disney Just because a superhero is less well-known, doesn't mean he's any less popular. Starring Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke, Moon Knightfollows Steven Grant, a museum gift shop worker who's forced to share a body with anti-hero Marc Spector, who is in turn controlled by a mean Egyptian moon God intent on using Spector as a kind of Earth-bound, justice-serving pawn. Chaos!
What we thought: Despite (and because of) its lack of tethering to the greater MCU, Moon Knight stands out as an original and entertaining TV show that could equally delight hardcore fans and those who just want to know what TV show everyone's going to be talking about. Moon Knight has elements of Fight Club, Indiana Jones, James Bond, and Doctor Who, all rolled up into a sleek and beautifully shot package that's all but guaranteed to become social media's newest obsession. — Alexis Nedd, Senior Entertainment Reporter

Protect them at all costs. Credit: GREG LEWIS / AMC / SONY PICTURES TELEVISION It's been two years since we last got to spend time with everyone's favourite sketchy lawyer, but now Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould's Breaking Badprequel Better Call Saulis back for its sixth and final season. The always-brilliant Bob Odenkirk returns as Saul Goodman, Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler, Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut, and it's been confirmed that Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul will appear.
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 available to stream now on Netflix.
3. Severance

John Turturro, Christopher Walken, and Patricia Arquette make up the impressive supporting cast.
What we thought: Severance is a visually fascinating work of art, an enthralling mystery, and an anticapitalist takedown of toxic labor practices; it's the first must-watch Apple TV+ show of the year. — A.N.

Shake on it: Josh Brolin as Royal Abbott and Imogen Poots as Autumn. Credit: Richard Foreman / Prime Video Seemingly Yellowstonewith a sci-fi twist, it's no real surprise that Prime Video's biggest new show has made its way into this week's most-streamed list. Brian Watkins' neo-Western stars Josh Brolin as a Wyoming Rancher who one day discovers a mysterious black hole in his pasture. Throw in the arrival of a strange drifter (Imogen Poots), a family member's disappearance, and the ongoing trouble with a rival ranching family and there's plenty here to catch people's attention.

5. Halo
Game on. Credit: Adrienn Szabo / Paramount+ Yep, you already know Halo. Bungie's popular Xbox video game series finally made it to the small screen this year, adapted by Steven Kane and Kyle Killen, and starring Pablo Schreiber, Yerin Ha, and Natascha McElhone. Set in the 26th century, the story follows genetically engineered soldier Master Chief as he goes up against invading alien species The Covenant.
What we thought:The first two hours of Halo do exactly what a brand new TV show should do: They introduce the world, the key characters, and the dominant themes. They give us some hooks to hang our interest on. They're revealing in all sorts of ways, but they leave plenty of questions dangling, too. It feels surreal to say this, and to feel it in my bones, but it's true: Halo is good TV. — Adam Rosenberg, Senior Entertainment Reporter/Weekend Editor
How to watch:Halois currently streaming on Paramount Plus.
6. Anatomy of a Scandal
The Whitehouses: Sienna Miller and Rupert Friend. Credit: Ana Cristina Blumenkron Based on Sarah Vaughan's novel of the same name, Anatomy of a Scandaltells the story of Sophie Whitehouse (Sienna Miller), the wife of a Conservative politician (Rupert Friend) who is accused of sexual assault by an aide (Naomi Scott) he'd been having an affair with. People have clearly been binging this six episode mini-series, but tread carefully: the reviews are a mixed bag.

7. Tokyo Vice
Crime time in the '90s: Credit: James Lisle / HBO Max Set in Tokyo in the late '90s and based loosely on the first-hand account of U.S. journalist Jake Adelstein, Tokyo Vicesees Ansel Elgort and Rachel Keller becoming mixed up in the city's criminal underbelly. Ken Watanabe, Shô Kasamatsu, Rinko Kikuchi, and Ella Rumpf also star in this dark crime thriller.

8. Slow Horses
Not pictured: horses, slow or fast. Credit: Apple TV+ Adapted by Veepwriter Will Smith, Slow Horsesis a spy thriller that follows a group of disgraced MI5 workers who've been put out to pasture in a department for agents with no future career prospects. This one has a pretty stacked cast — Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Jonathan Pryce, Jack Lowden, and Olivia Cooke all star — and you can watch the first 20 minutes on YouTube now to help you make your mind up.

9. Killing Eve
Credit: BBC America / David Emery We're not sure where the time's gone, but somehow Killing Eve— Phoebe Waller-Bridge's tense spy crime thriller about British intelligence agent Eve Polastri (Sandra Oh) and her cat-and-mouse game with assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer) — is already back with its fourth and final season. The show was arguably at its best in its first season, but as Mashable's Proma Khosla wrote in her review of Season 3, "Killing Evemay string us along for season after season, but if these award-winning actresses can keep us hooked with their killer chemistry and quality writing, we'll be here."
How to watch: Killing Eveis available to stream on BBC iPlayer in the UK, and BBC America in the U.S.
10. The Flight Attendant
This person is the CIA's best shot? Credit: HBO Steve Yockey's dark comedy thriller is back for a second outing, following Cassie (Kaley Cuoco) a year after the messy events of show's first season which saw her waking up in a hotel room with a dead man she may or may not have murdered. The story this time is completely new (you don't even necessarily need to have seen Season 1) but the show's impressive silliness is back in full force.
What we thought: If The Flight Attendant is getting its priorities across, the show only works if you accept that Cassie Bowden is the single most important being (and only blond) on the planet. Multiple people are after her, someone out there is deliberately framing her, and she constantly finds herself in the wrong place for legal absolution but the right place to fuel rampant main character syndrome. Her alcoholism and recovery are clumsily handled between the Cassie-clone gimmick, an unwieldy mother-daughter backstory, and multiple characters who clock her erratic behavior but either enable or antagonize her out of what appears to be pure malice.— Proma Khosla, Senior Entertainment Reporter
