Everyone has been watching this week. Hmm, huh?
Each week, the most streamed TV shows and movies come down to a few things, including sheer buzz, a big finale, smart marketing, star power, and being a word-of-mouth phenomenon that leads people to finally watch it out of spite. To get a sense of what everyone is watching, we've used data from streaming aggregation Reelgood, which gathers those coveted viewership numbers from hundreds of streaming services in the U.S.
The Bear jumped up the list to second place this week, thanks to the fact that the trailer for "Master of Puppets" was so bad. There are movies like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Last Night in Soho that will stay on the screen.
A lot of people are watching, but that doesn't mean it's good. Here are the 10 most streamed TV shows and movies of the week, as well as where to watch them.

Vecna's show was the most watched show of the week again. The final two episodes of the fourth season of the Duffer Brothers' series were released on the internet. We cheered on the gang as they prepared for battle against the 01) and charged into the Creel house. We ran up that hill with Max and felt the power of being seen. If you haven't watched it yet, you will need two and half hours for the finale.
It has been three years since you last went back to Hawkins, so we thought you had waited too long. We've always loved Stranger Things, so it's great that they're welcoming you back with a lot of what we love.
It's possible to watch the show on the internet, but it's also possible to watch it on the television.

People are talking about the bear. The series was created by Christopher Storer and stars Jeremy Allen White and Carmy Berzatto. The manager of The Original Beef of Chicagoland is Bon Moss-Bachrach. We loved it so much that we made it our watch of the week.
The series about a struggling restaurant and its employees is a pressure cooker of a show. The combination of great performances and served with a dose ofgritty flair makes for a great sandwich. You will be very hungry after watching.

Stephen Strange is back and ready to explore the infinite parameters of time and space for the next movie. The cast for this one is huge, with Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong, Rachel McAdams, and Michael Stuhlbarg all returning.
We wondered if Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness delivered sky fights, superhero spectacle, fan service appearances, and a soaring score. You bet, right? The Raimi lens that it uses is more violent, more cornball, and much, much grosser than the previous ones.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is available on Disney+.

You are not alone if you didn't see Saul Goodman. One of the most-viewed shows of the week is theBreaking Bad prequel. The rest of the cast are also excellent. There are some episodes you cannot come back from.
The stakes are high for several key players. Reputations, relationships, and lives are on the line, and mounting tension in the first two episodes exposes seldom-seen sides of characters we thought we knew.

The third season of Eric Kripke's gory superhero series follows Billy and Hughie as they go up against Homelander again after the events of Season 2. We've seen a lot of violence in the first and second seasons, as well as the latest season.
We thought that the world of The Boys felt natural and believable. There are people behind the masks and they are corrupt. You don't see a lot of honest cynicism in superhero stories.
The Boys is now available on Prime Video.

It has been a long time since Last Night in Soho was streamed. Eloise is obsessed with the '60s and moves to London to study fashion design. Finding it rather unwelcoming in her dorm, she moves into an old Soho flat with Ms Collins where she finds herself dreaming of the area back in the 1960's. As dreams and time begin to blur into a nightmare, Eloise finds herself uncovering more and more about Sandie's fate, as the trap of glorifying the past is set.
The director of Last Night in Soho chose not to shrink away from the topic of dreams in his film. The ghastly ghost story, co-written by Wright and Krysty Wilson-Cairns, focuses on the vulnerability of ambitious young women.
You can now watch Last Night in Soho on the internet.

The house of Gucci has a father and son. Lady Gaga takes on Patrizia Gucci, a member of the Gucci family, in the film, which is based on a true story. It's finally on the air.
House of Gucci is a film that invites audiences into a glorious rush of excess and its evil. It's gorgeous, glamorous, and totally Gaga, and it's packed with stars.
House of Gucci can be watched on Prime Video.
