The sheer 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.

From quirky heroes to everybody's favourite lawyer, here are the most popular TV shows this week. It's the first week we've seen Better Call Saul, Tokyo Vice, and Slow Horsesin here, so let's go...
1. Moon Knight
Credit: Marvel Studios 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
How to watch:Moon Knight is now streaming on Disney+.
2. Severance
Credit: Apple TV+ Channeling some serious Black Mirrorenergy, Apple TV+'s Severancesees Adam Scott as Mark, a man who opts for an implant that allows his work memories to be completely cut off from memories of his home life. 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. — Alexis Nedd, Senior Entertainment Reporter

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.
4. Slow Horses
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.

8. Killing Eve
Credit: BBC We're not sure where the time's gone, but somehow Killing Eve— Phoebe Waller-Bridge's tense spy 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.
9. Bridgerton
We love the Sharma family. Credit: Liam Daniel / Netflix Dear reader, if you're not watching Bridgertonby this point, permit us to insist you very much get a bloody move on. The crown of the Shondaland jewel at present, the second season of Bridgertonhas graced us with its presence, this time around focusing on the head of the Bridgerton family, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), and his quest to find a wife. Meanwhile, the Ton (and the formidable Lady Whistledown, of course) has a new family to get excited about: the Sharma sisters, Kate and Edwina (Simone Ashley and Charithra Chandran), who are quite frankly the best thing about Season 2. — Shannon Connellan, UK Editor
What we thought:Since you are clearly dying to know, dear reader, here’s the answer: Bridgerton Season 2 has barely any sex, but do not make the mistake of dismissing the joys of this season. What it has instead is heaping, smoldering helpings of sexual tension, with Ashley and Bailey setting rooms on fire with just a look.— Proma Khosla, Senior Entertainment Reporter
