The third iteration of Netflix\u2019s Monster<\/em> anthology started its run in the same place as the previous two: at the top of the streaming charts.<\/p>\n Monster: The Ed Gein Story<\/em> led Nielsen\u2019s rankings for the week of Sept. 29-Oct. 5 with 1.53 billion viewing minutes (it premiered Oct. 3). That\u2019s a little behind the 1.72 billion minutes for the Menendez brothers-focused second season in 2024 (which, in turn, was well off the pace of 2022\u2019s first season, which had a huge debut of more than 3.6 billion minutes<\/a> of watch time).<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Coming in second place was Wayward<\/em>, which grew by 54 percent over its premiere week on Netflix to 1.3 billion minutes of viewing. It was the only other title to clear the billion-minute threshold for the week.<\/p>\n As the 2025-26 broadcast TV season kicked into gear, several network shows with big libraries posted week to week gains as viewers caught up on past seasons or watched the first episodes of new ones. The 817 million minutes of viewing for NCIS<\/em> (across three platforms) were the most for the show since June, and Law & Order<\/em> (768 million) grew by 19 percent week to week. Law & Order: SVU<\/em> (631 million) charted for the first time in three weeks.<\/p>\n Amid those gains, however, one of the longer streaks in the five-year history of Nielsen\u2019s streaming charts ended. Grey\u2019s Anatomy<\/em> fell off the rankings for the first time since June 2023, a run of 120 weeks. Also of note: Halo<\/em> (562 million minutes on Paramount+) re-entered the charts for the first time since March 2024, with viewers likely revisiting the show in anticipation of the announcement of a new installment of the video game on which the show is based.<\/p>\n Prime Video\u2019s Play Dirty<\/em>, starring Mark Wahlberg, led the movie rankings with 788 million viewing minutes. It ended a three-week run in the No. 1 spot for KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>, but the Netflix smash didn\u2019t fall far, racking up another 731 million minutes of watch time to finish second among all streaming films.<\/p>\n Nielsen\u2019s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don\u2019t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries. The top streaming titles for Sept. 29-Oct. 5, 2025, are below.<\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
