Road House and Quiet on Set brought some variety to the Nielsen streaming charts in March.
During the week of March 18 to 24, there were four different streamers represented among the Top 5 streaming titles — Netflix, Prime Video, Max and Disney+. According to Nielsen, this is a rarity that has only occurred once before, when the same four platforms shared the stage in October 2022.
In the top spot was Netflix’s 3 Body Problem, which debuted all eight episodes on March 21. In its first four days on the streamer, it amassed 1.37B minutes viewed.
Second place went to Prime Video’s Road House, the reimagining of the 1980s Patrick Swayze film, which was right behind 3 Body Problem with an impressive 1.32B minutes viewed. This is particularly noteworthy because it is far shorter than 3 Body and therefore at a significant disadvantage when it comes to these streaming rankings.
Investigation Discovery’s docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV has enraptured audiences since it launched, which is evidenced by the 1.25B minutes viewed that the four episodes racked up over the course of this interval.
In fact, it is now the most successful Max title ever reported in Nielsen’s Top 10 charts, beating The Last Of Us for that honor. The apocalyptic drama series peaked at 1.19B minutes viewed last year.
And, unsurprisingly, Bluey had another billion-minute week, this time attracting 1.047B minutes. This is the 13th consecutive week with 1B+ viewing minutes for Bluey.
The Top 5 was filled with billion-minute club members, and Netflix’s Homicide: New York rounded things out with 1.038B minutes viewed.
Elsewhere, Nielsen pointed to FX’s Shōgun, which managed 423M minutes viewed, up two places from the week prior.

Lise Pedersen In an exclusive interview with Variety after picking up the top industry prize at Swiss documentary festival Visions du Réel, Franco-Iranian director Mehran Tamadon outlined the intention of his upcoming feature documentary “The Last Days of the Hospital.” Set against the backdrop of France’s public health crisis and shortage of personnel, the film will show patients from a psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of Paris taking charge of their own ward. Tamadon has been running film workshops with the patients at the hospital for the past eight years, and decided it was time to make a film to denounce what he describes as “the ultra-liberal policy which plans the death of the public hospital.” “French public hospitals are not doing well, nurses and caregivers are leaving because they are mistreated and poorly paid.

Prime Video’s “Fallout” is here. Now streaming, “Fallout” is similar to HBO’s Emmy-winning “The Last Of Us” in the sense that it’s also a dystopian series based on a popular video game. Aside from the inevitable comparisons, “Fallout” is different enough to stand on its own.
