Here Are the Top 10 Most-Watched Shows on Peacock This Week, Including ‘Resident Alien’

Peacock’s latest most-watched slate packs a lively mix of romance showdowns, splashy reality feuds, high-octane action, and comfort-crime staples. Whether you crave villa vibes, superyacht meltdowns, or small-town sci-fi snark, this week’s queue doubles as a mood board for every kind of binge.

We’re rolling it out as a countdown—from #10 to #1—mirroring this week’s watchlist while spotlighting why each pick is resonating right now. Strap in: sparks, side-eyes, and plot pivots are incoming.

10. ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ (2010)

‘Rizzoli & Isles’ pairs a tough-as-nails homicide detective with a meticulous medical examiner, spinning weekly cases into character-first mysteries. The dynamic is snappy without skimping on the puzzle, so every solution lands with satisfying click.

Its secret is equilibrium: crackling banter, found-family tenderness, and tidy conclusions that make for ultra-repeatable viewing. It’s the rare procedural that comforts without getting complacent.

9. ‘Below Deck’ (2013)

‘Below Deck’ invites you below the waterline of luxury travel, where crew chemistry meets guest entropy in spectacular fashion. From botched provisions to midnight docking drama, even routine charters unravel with addictive unpredictability.

The turnover keeps it fresh: new faces, fresh hierarchies, and escalating demands remix the formula every trip. Service-industry stakes plus reality-TV confessionals equal unskippable episodes.

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

Part late-night talker, part pop-culture pressure cooker, ‘Watch What Happens: Live’ thrives on spur-of-the-moment revelations. Games, call-ins, and well-timed shade turn safe media tours into delightfully messy detours.

Immediacy is the hook. Cultural flashpoints get digested on air, and even veteran guests loosen up under the clubhouse lights, delivering gif-ready moments on cue.

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

‘The Real Housewives of Miami’ wraps beachfront sparkle around friendships that can flip from hugs to hurricane in a scene. Glam outings and yacht days set the stage, but emotional receipts keep the stakes sky-high.

What distinguishes this city is the blend of long history and new energy. Legacy bonds spark layered conflicts, while fresh arrivals remix alliances and keep the social math spicy.

6. ‘Resident Alien’ (2021)

In ‘Resident Alien’, an extraterrestrial impersonates a small-town doctor and discovers humanity is far stranger—and kinder—than expected. Deadpan humor, cozy-mystery beats, and genuine heart make its oddball tone sing.

It nails a tricky balance: satire without cynicism, genre weirdness with warmth, and a lead performance that turns every Earth custom into a comedy set piece you can’t resist.

5. ‘Snapped’ (2004)

‘Snapped’ remains a true-crime cornerstone, piecing together ordinary lives that veer into extraordinary violence. Interviews, timelines, and forensic breadcrumbs converge until motive crystallizes with icy precision.

The pacing does the heavy lifting. By letting contradictions stack and testimonies clash, the show earns its reveals and keeps even seasoned armchair detectives leaning forward.

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

‘Love Island: Beyond the Villa’ expands the ‘Love Island USA’ universe with unseen footage, post-episode fallout, and sharper context for every whisper and wink. It’s the perfect fix for fans who need the meta-story as much as the main event.

As a companion show, it tightens the loop between audience and islanders. Narratives get reframed, rumors get receipts, and the social-media discourse becomes part of the viewing experience.

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

‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ is the blueprint for suburbia-as-saga, where carpool lanes and gala tables double as battlegrounds. History laces every toast and read, fueling conflicts that hit with franchise-defining force.

Longevity pays dividends. The deeper the backstory, the sharper the drama—and the more rewarding the reconciliations when they finally land (however briefly).

2. ‘Twisted Metal’ (2023)

‘Twisted Metal’ is a pedal-to-the-floor action-comedy that marries road-war spectacle with oddball character work. Between scrapyard showdowns and bite-size quests, it moves with propulsive, just-one-more energy.

What makes it stick is charm under the chassis. Quips land, stakes climb, and the world-building stays playful enough to let the mayhem feel joyous rather than grim.

1. ‘Love Island USA’ (2019)

‘Love Island USA’ reigns with flirty challenges, recouplings that redraw alliances, and bombshell arrivals that jolt the group into new configurations. The villa doubles as a strategy board where romance, risk, and timing collide.

Participation powers the pull. Fans pick sides, manifest ships, and dissect micro-moments like game tape—so every decision feels communal, and every episode becomes an event.
