The TV show Suits is still really popular this summer. Lots of people are watching it on streaming platforms like Netflix and Peacock. In the week of July 17-23, the show got watched for a total of 3.88 billion minutes. This is the fourth week in a row that the show has been watched for more than 3 billion minutes. It’s also broken the record for the most-watched acquired series on Nielsen’s streaming charts again.
This week’s viewership beat last week’s and the two weeks before that. This is a big deal because it’s the most any acquired show has been watched in a single week since Nielsen started counting streaming views in 2020. The 3.88 billion minutes watched from July 17-23 is now the 13th highest amount of minutes watched in any week over the past three years.
If you want to watch all 9 seasons of Suits on Netflix, just get a VPN and start streaming right away.
Two other TV shows also got watched a lot last week. “Bluey” on Disney+ and “Sweet Magnolias” on Netflix both got around 1.22 billion minutes of watching each. If we look at the numbers even more closely, “Bluey” had a tiny lead with 1.219 billion minutes, while “Sweet Magnolias” had 1.218 billion minutes. Not surprisingly, kids aged 2 to 11 made up more than half of the people watching “Bluey,” and “Sweet Magnolias” was mostly watched by women (81 percent of the audience).
Even after the series of “Jack Ryan” ended on Amazon’s Prime Video, it still had a good amount of viewership with 700 million minutes watched. Another Prime Video series, “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” stayed in the top 10 original shows with 493 million minutes watched. “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” also came back on the charts with 324 million minutes watched. This happened because Paramount+ released two new episodes that week.
It’s important to note that Nielsen’s ratings only count the time people spend watching on TV screens, not on computers or phones. Also, these ratings only include viewers in the United States, not in other countries. Here are the top streaming shows for the week of July 17-23:
