Want to know which shows are performing best across streaming apps? We've got you covered with our latest TVision Power Score ranking. Each week, we’ll be sharing insight into viewer and content trends across the CTV landscape with the goal of providing common metrics the industry can use to evaluate what’s really engaging audiences.
Here are the shows that topped the TVision Power Score list between August 17 - August 23, 2026 thanks to their ability to both attract viewers and hold their attention throughout the show.
For the week of August 17-23, Amazon's "Reacher" (Season 4) holds at #1 on the TVision Power Score. Alan Ritchson is back as Jack Reacher, the ex-Army investigator who tends to solve problems the hard way. Staying at the top a second week is the harder trick. Most launches spike and fade once the early rush wears off. Reacher did the opposite, keeping the same audience locked in from one week to the next.
Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso" (Season 4) holds at #2 for a second straight week. Jason Sudeikis returns as the relentlessly upbeat American coach running AFC Richmond. Sitting behind only Reacher, Ted Lasso is still pulling the kind of attention most returning series lose by their fourth season. The audience showed up for the comeback and stuck with it.
Hulu's "Furious" (Season 1) holds at #3 for a second straight week. Emmy Rossum stars as FBI agent Alice Black, hunting a calculating female serial killer played by Lola Petticrew as their paths toward justice start to blur the line between right and wrong. Holding a top three spot two weeks running is the real tell. New series usually spike on debut and slide right after. Furious is doing the opposite. That kind of early staying power is exactly what platforms hope for when they launch something new.

TVision measures Viewer Presence and Attention for every second of programming and advertising on television. Every time a person walks into the room, our technology detects who the viewer is, where they are in the room, and what their eyes are looking at. We do all this without personally identifying individual users, and without transmitting any images or videos. TVision’s data is collected from an opt-in panel of 5,000 homes across the United States and weighted to represent the country. All demographic data is self-reported by the respondents. Linear and CTV ad impressions data in this report is from May 1 – May 31, 2023 or May 29 – June 4, 2023, unless otherwise indicated.
The TVision Power Score is a completely new ranking designed to factor in both viewership and engagement when measuring the performance of CTV programming. The Power Score is based on the industry’s most comprehensive view of the CTV landscape - TVision measures activity across over 1,000 apps - and enables an accurate understanding of the relative performance of CTV content across any app. This new way to understand show performance will enable industry watchers to more quickly identify trending content and CTV’s hottest programming and even uncover hidden gems distributed through smaller apps.
The TVision Power Score factors in four key metrics: the amount of time viewers pay attention to the program, the amount of program time available for the season, the program’s reach, as well as the application’s reach. This combination of metrics was chosen to enable a neutral look at the quality of programming and its unique, inherent ability to draw in viewers - regardless of the scale of the platform, or the program’s release schedule.
