Streaming Ratings: ‘Neagley’ Outmuscles ‘Monster’ and ‘Reacher’ for Top Spot

A spinoff of Reacher debuted at the top of the streaming ratings for Sept. 14-20, pushing its parent show out of the No. 1 spot. Neagley, starring Maria Sten as the title character, a Chicago private eye and former military colleague of Jack Reacher, drew 1.78 billion minutes of viewing for its premiere week on Prime Video (the eight-episode season debuted as a binge release). That’s on par with the 1.84 billion minutes for Reacher’s series debut in 2022. The show earned a quick season two renewal from Prime Video on Thursday. Reacher didn’t fall far, finishing third overall with 1.42 billion viewing minutes for the week of its fourth season finale (it also improved by about 20 percent week to week). Since its premiere on Aug. 12, Reacher season four has amassed 5.8 billion minutes of watch time, and prior seasons racked up 2.5 billion minutes. In between Neagley and Reacher on the charts was Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, the fourth season of Netflix’s anthology series. It premiered with 1.48 billion minutes of viewing, in line with the 1.52 billion minutes for The Ed Gein Story’s debut week last year. Crew Girl, a YA series from Netflix, charted for the first time with 635 million minutes of watch time for the week following its debut. Paramount+’s Lioness (897 million minutes) grew by about 8 percent in the week leading up to its season three finale. Ted Lasso (767 million) also improved a bit week to week for Apple TV. Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Again? (332 million viewing minutes) repeated as the top movie on the Nielsen charts, though it fell off by more than 60 percent in its second week. Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences.
