Prime Video’s “Rings of Power” came in the No. 7 spot on the overall streaming list with 733 million minutes viewed.
While “The Perfect Couple” and “Only Murders in the Building” did not make it on the overall streaming list, they had a solid showing on the streaming originals list, with “The Perfect Couple” scoring 556 million viewing minutes in the No. 5 spot on the list and “Only Murders in the Building” scoring 429 million viewing minutes following the release of Season 4 Episode 5. “Agatha All Along” also scored 365 million minutes viewed across its first three episodes, coming in at No. 10 on the streaming originals list.
