There are so many TV shows.
Picking your latest binge can feel like plucking a needle out of a haystack, with the amount of new and returning series making it even more complicated by the number of recommendations you receive from friends and social media on any given day.
Where should we start? It is not a measurement of quality, but at least know what most people have been tuning into. To narrow down the top 10, we used Reel Good, which pulls viewing figures from streaming services in the U.S. and UK.
Here are the most popular TV shows this week. It is the first week we have seen Better Call Saul, Tokyo Vice, and Slow Horses.

Even though a superhero is less well-known, he is still popular. Steven Grant, a museum gift shop worker, is forced to share a body with anti-heroMarc Spector, who is controlled by a mean Egyptian moon God, in Moon Knight. Chaos!
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 is 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 is sure to become a social media obsession.

The first must-watch Apple TV+ show of the year is Severance, a visually fascinating work of art, an intriguing mystery, and an anti capitalist takedown of toxic labor practices.

You already know about it. Steven Kane and Kyle Killen adapted the popular Xbox video game series for the small screen, and it stars Natascha McElhone, Pablo Schreiber, and Yerin Ha. The story follows Master Chief, a genetically engineered soldier, as he goes up against The Covenant.
The first two hours of the show introduce the world, the key characters, and the dominant themes. We are given hooks to hang our interest on. They reveal in many ways, but they leave a lot of questions unanswered. It feels weird to say that, but it is true that Halo is good TV.
You can watch it on Paramount Plus.

We are not sure where the time has gone, but Killing Eve is a tense spy film about British intelligence agent Eve Polastri and her cat-and-mouse game with assassin Villa. The show was at its best in its first season, but if these award-winning actresses can keep us hooked for season after season, Killing Eve may string us along for season after season.
Killing Eve is available to watch on both the UK and U.S. websites.

If you are not watching Bridgerton by this point, please allow us to insist that you get a bloody move on. The second season of Bridgerton focuses on the head of the Bridgerton family, Viscount Anthony Bridgerton, and his quest to find a wife. The best thing about Season 2 is the new family that the Ton has to get excited about: the Sharma sisters.
Bridgerton Season 2 has barely any sex, but do not make the mistake of dismissing the joys of this season. It has heaping, smoldering helpings of sexual tension, with Bailey andAshley setting rooms on fire with just a look.
Bridgerton is now available on the internet.
