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.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and House of the Dragon are both on TV this week. People are done with reality
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 watched show on Amazon this 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 god of thunder is back in the sequel to the movie. We left off with Asgard's less mischievous prince, who is casually winning his way through battles across space and still getting over his ex Dr. Jane Foster, who just so happened to beNatalie Portman. The God of War, Christian Bale, has a plan to destroy the world, and he needs the help of his friends to stop him.
The film was not satisfyingly fun and was loud and flashy.
You can watch the movie on Disney+.

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.
We don't know how it happened, but the show has more seasons than the one on TV. Daniel and Johnny have to join forces to stop the threat of Terry Silver as he attempts to expand his empire in the just-released fifth season of the show. Expect a lot of punches, stare-down, and flying kicks. Sam Haysom is the deputy UK editor.
There is a new tab that shows how to watch.

The latest Disney animated feature to get a live-action treatment was put on by Robert Zemeckis. The film asks the question: What makes a real boy?
You may not have asked for a live-action remake of Pinocchio, but now you have one, and it is still as weird and pretentious as the original.
The movie is on Disney+.

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 aspects of the story.
We thought Elvis, who was known for his swinging hips and sex appeal, deserved better than Elvis.
You can watch Elvis on the internet.

If you really, really, really want to watch it, streaming is the best way to do it. In Morbius, Leto plays Michael Morbius, a doctor trying to find a cure for a rare blood disease that his friend has. They became living vampire in a turn of events. Adria Arjona, Al Madrigal, and others are in the film.
This would-be thriller is toothless and tedious.
