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 September 28 - October 4, 2026 thanks to their ability to both attract viewers and hold their attention throughout the show.
Apple TV+'s "Ted Lasso" (Season 4) holds at #1 on the TVision Power Score for the week of September 28 to October 4. Jason Sudeikis returns as the relentlessly upbeat American coach running AFC Richmond. Another week on top, now stretching across the calendar flip into October, is the kind of run very few shows ever put together. The premieres keep coming and the audience keeps choosing Richmond. That is staying power you cannot manufacture.
Amazon's "Neagley" (Season 1) holds at #2 for a second straight week. Maria Sten leads as Frances Neagley, the Reacher universe operative digging into the suspicious death of an old friend. Holding firm at #2 while fresh titles crowd in behind it proves the spinoff has real legs of its own. The audience that followed Neagley out on her own is settling in for the long haul, which is exactly what a franchise hopes to see.
Netflix's "A Different World" (Season 1) climbs seven spots to #3. The revival of the beloved 1980s Hillman College comedy follows Deborah Wayne, daughter of Whitley and Dwayne, starting her freshman year, with Jasmine Guy and Kadeem Hardison reprising their original roles. Jumping into the top three nearly 40 years to the day after the original premiered says nostalgia and a new generation showed up together. When a revival lands this well, it is because it honors what came before while giving fresh viewers their own reason to watch.

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.
