Peacock’s most-watched lineup this week is a kaleidoscope of glossy reality, twisty crime, sharp sci-fi, and guilty-pleasure chaos. From sun-drenched villas to high-stakes yacht decks and late-night clubhouse antics, there’s a little something for every mood—whether you want romance, rivalry, or riddles to solve.

Below, we’re counting down from #10 to #1 based on this week’s watchlist, highlighting what makes each title pop right now and why viewers keep pressing “next episode.” Buckle up: sparks fly, secrets surface, and the memes write themselves.

10. ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ (2010)

A fan-favorite procedural with a buddy-cop heart, ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ pairs a relentless Boston detective with a brilliantly composed medical examiner. Their crime-scene chemistry and smart casework turn routine investigations into character-driven puzzles that go down easy after a long day.

What keeps it rewatchable is the show’s balance: prickly banter, found-family warmth, and tidy case-of-the-week closure. It’s comfort TV with a pulse—perfect for background binging that still hooks you with one more twist.

9. ‘Below Deck’ (2013)

‘Below Deck’ drops viewers into the pressure cooker of superyacht life, where crew dynamics combust under rich-guest demands and zero-margin schedules. Between galley disasters and dock-line drama, every charter feels like a mini survival challenge in dress whites.

The magic is in the churn: rotating crews, ever-escalating requests, and a confessional style that turns service stress into addictive storytelling. Whether you’re here for boat skills or boat mess, the tide always brings fresh waves.

8. ‘Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen’ (2009)

Part clubhouse, part confessional, ‘Watch What Happens: Live’ is late-night loosened up—spilling tea, playing shady games, and turning reunions into real-time revelations. Guests lean into the chaos, and fandoms dine out on the soundbites.

Its secret sauce is immediacy. Pop-culture moments get processed on the spot, while viewer questions and caller curveballs keep even media-trained celebs delightfully off-script.

7. ‘The Real Housewives of Miami’ (2011)

‘The Real Housewives of Miami’ wraps beachfront glamour around simmering friendships that can turn stormy in a heartbeat. Luxe parties, high fashion, and sunlit cruises provide the backdrop for alliances that shift like tides.

What separates this city’s franchise is the mix of legacy bonds and fresh personalities—history fuels the fireworks, while new dynamics raise the stakes. It’s aspirational, combustible, and eminently gif-able.

6. ‘Resident Alien’ (2021)

In ‘Resident Alien’, an extraterrestrial goes undercover as a small-town doctor and learns that humanity’s messiness might be its charm. Deadpan humor collides with heartfelt beats as our oddball “physician” fumbles through Earth customs and moral dilemmas.

The show thrives on tonal tightrope walking: cozy mystery vibes, sly satire, and bursts of genre weirdness. It’s the rare sci-fi comedy that’s both quirky and quietly profound.

5. ‘Snapped’ (2004)

True-crime devotees know ‘Snapped’ as the blueprint: chilling cases, meticulous timelines, and the slow unfurling of motive. Each episode takes you from ordinary lives to extraordinary breaking points, with forensic details that scratch the investigative itch.

The appeal endures because the show never rushes the reveal. It lets facts accrete, testimony clash, and contradictions breathe—so when the turn comes, it lands with cold clarity.

4. ‘Love Island: Beyond the Villa’ (2025)

‘Love Island: Beyond the Villa’ extends the universe past the fire pit, serving debriefs, unseen moments, and post-episode fallout. It’s catnip for viewers who want every whisper, wink, and “what did they really mean?” parsed in delicious detail.

As a companion piece, it tightens the feedback loop between show and fandom. Rumors are addressed, narratives recalibrated, and the social buzz becomes part of the text—fueling the main event.

3. ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ (2006)

The original Orange County installment remains a dynasty entry for a reason: sun-splashed suburbia, sharp tongues, and friendships that function like fault lines. ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ turns carpool lanes into battlefields and dinner parties into detonations.

Longevity breeds lore. History laces every toast, reading, and reconciliation, rewarding longtime viewers while staying spicy enough for drop-ins to catch the vibe fast.

2. ‘Twisted Metal’ (2023)

An off-the-wall action-comedy, ‘Twisted Metal’ revs through a wasteland of oddball outposts, vehicular showdowns, and character comedy that hits like a turbo boost. It marries gonzo world-building with road-movie heart, making the mayhem unexpectedly sweet.

The ride works because it never lets spectacle eclipse charm. Quips land, stakes escalate, and the episode lengths beg for a just-one-more lap.

1. ‘Love Island USA’ (2019)

‘Love Island USA’ is the crown jewel of summer guilty pleasures: flirty challenges, recouplings that redraw the map, and bombshells that detonate group chats nationwide. The villa is a social laboratory where chemistry, strategy, and luck collide under neon lights.

Its power is participation. Viewers debate loyalties, manifest ships, and dissect micro-moments like sports tape. When a series makes you feel like a stakeholder in every decision, it’s no wonder it tops the week.
