Average demand expressions: 28,025,630

5. "The Boys" (Amazon Prime Video)
Average demand expressions: 35,073,482
Description: "'The Boys' is an irreverent take on what happens when superheroes, who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods, abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It's the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about 'The Seven,' and their formidable Vought backing."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 1): 83%
What critics said: "In many ways, the show proves to be a brutal and cynical portrait of 2019, as it makes a point of illustrating that anything can be commercialized and corporatized, even a person's sexual assault or other personal trauma. Realizing this point makes for a deeply cynical viewing experience as a result." — AV Club (Season 1)
Season 1 premiered July 26 on Amazon Prime Video.

Season 1 premiered on Netflix August 30.
3. "13 Reasons Why" (Netflix)
Average demand expressions: 40,302,564
Description: "Secrets. Lies. Revenge. Everyone at Liberty High has something to hide ... and the truth is about to come out."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 3): 12%
What critics said: "Every time this show almost does something good it just veers off for the lazy sophomoric treatise instead. It's exhausting and it's unpleasant and it's often dangerous, and at this point, there is no reason why it should still be around." — Vox (Season 3)
Season 3 premiered August 23 on Netflix.
2. "Titans" (DC Universe)
Average demand expressions: 53,897,092
Description: "'Titans' follows young heroes from across the DC Universe as they come of age and find belonging in a gritty take on the classic Teen Titans franchise.

Joining them along the way are the hot-headed Starfire and lovable Beast Boy. Together they become a surrogate family and team of heroes."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 2): 79%
What critics said: "With a bit of time, 'Titans' might end up getting steady on its feet again and returning to being one of the better live-action cape shows, but for the time being, it's definitely showed itself to be a bit more than rusty." — io9 (Season 2)
Season 2 premiered on DC Universe September 6.
