Everyone has been watching this week. Hmm, huh?
To get a sense of what everyone's watching, we've used data from streaming aggregation Reelgood, which gathers numbers from hundreds of streaming services in the U.S. Each week, the most streamed TV shows and movies come down to a few factors, including sheer buzz, a big finale, smart marketing, star power, and word-of-mouth that leads people to finally watch it out of spite.
House of the Dragon was knocked off its perch thanks to The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Elvis moved into the top spot.
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.

It was done by them. The Rings of Power is the most streamed show of the week. The first two episodes of the show were watched by 25 million people around the world.
The series places people of color and women front and center and is the only one of its kind.
The Rings of Power is a rousing tale of perseverance in the face of evil, a sumptuous re-introduction to the world of J.R.L.D., and just great TV. You will feel like you never left when you return to Middle-earth.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is available to view on Prime Video.

The sort-of-not-really-biopic "Elvis" was the most streamed film of the week. The film uses the King's experiences as a jumping off point to explore the darker elements of the story.
We thought Elvis deserved better than Elvis, who was known for his swinging hips, swagger and sex appeal.
Elvis is now available on the internet.

There is no denying the power of Game ofThrones, a franchise that has roared back into our lives with the release of House of theDragon. House of the Dragon follows House Targaryen at the peak of its power in the books. King Viserys does not have a male heir. You can bet on scheming and bloodshed with the line of succession. There are a lot of dragons. B.E. said to let fire and blood rule.
We don't think you should be worried about House of the Dragon after watching the last season of Game of Throne. Through and through, the new series is excellent, juggling unforgettable characters, high fantasy, and intense emotions with ease. You will be sucked in quicker than you can say "Dracarys"
House of the Dragon is now available on the internet. Sundays at 9p.m. There is an hour and a half later.

She-Hulk is the newest hero to join the MCU. She'd rather do good through the legal system than destroy it. As she wrestles with life, love, and pressing questions about Captain America, she will team up with her cousins Bruce Banner and Benedict Wong. Maslany is as charming as she can be in her double role.
We thought She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was different. The story is about a hero named She-Hulk who discovers their powers. This half-hour comedy about a lawyer-turned-Hulk has a lot in common with Legally Blonde and WandaVision. It's a smaller scale take on the MCU with an irreverent, self-referential tone, making for a refreshing change of pace from the other TV offerings.
You can watch She-Hulk: Attorney At Law on Disney+.

Rick and Morty is back for its sixth season and people are watching it. House of the Dragon was the most watched non-sports program on the platform.
You might have a question after the premiere.
The premiere episode of Rick and Morty was crazy. The first episode of Season 6 is a mind-blower.
You can now watch Rick and Morty on the streaming services.
