Top 10 Essential TV Series Available for Streaming Right Now


If your streaming watchlist feels daunting right now — or, even worse, you’re endlessly scrolling through various tiles in your preferred app and not finding anything appealing — let’s simplify things for you: In this article, we’re going to discuss the only streaming TV shows that truly matter at this moment. Specifically, the 10 most popular series that a large number of viewers are currently fixated on.

Reelgood’s newly published weekly Top 10 TV shows ranking serves as a helpful guide to what’s worth streaming at the moment, with HBO’s *The Last of Us* leading the list this week, maintaining its strong presence in cultural discussions with a second season that has attracted nearly 37 million viewers per episode globally (per HBO), and the Season 2 finale having premiered earlier this week.

On Reelgood’s list, Netflix features an exciting new mystery series set on a secret-laden island, while Apple TV+ continues its sci-fi success with two originals making the top 10. The latest Reelgood chart reflects the seven-day period ending on May 28, based on tracking millions of viewing choices each month across major TV platforms in the US, from Apple TV+ to HBO, Max, Peacock, Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Prime Video, and Paramount+.

Below, take a look at what Reelgood identifies as the streaming TV shows creating the biggest buzz right now.

1. **The Last of Us** (HBO/HBO Max). *The Last of Us* is a survival drama set in a world ravaged by a fungal epidemic, where society has fallen apart and threats lie in wait at every turn. It follows Joel and Ellie—an unlikely duo brought together by chance—as they confront grief, violence, and fragile hope in a hauntingly shattered America.

2. **Sirens** (Netflix). Based in New England, *Sirens* is a darkly elegant limited series where long-hidden family secrets rise to the surface over a tense Labor Day weekend. With reminiscences of *The White Lotus*, the show delves into privilege, power, and the complicated ties of sisterhood, highlighted by a standout performance from Meghann Fahy.

3. **Your Friends & Neighbors** (Apple TV+). *Your Friends & Neighbors* is a dark comedy about a former hedge fund manager who, having lost everything, turns to robbing the affluent residents of his upscale neighborhood. The show critiques privilege and ethical compromise, with Jon Hamm taking the lead as a man unraveling behind perfectly manicured lawns.
