Top Streaming (SVOD) Ratings: Week Ending May 2, 2021

The first full week of availability for Netflix's 'Shadow and Bone' propelled it to the summit of the streaming ratings for the week ending May 2nd. The program logged just under 1.2 billion minutes of watch-time during the week to outpace second-ranked 'The Handmaid's Tale' from Hulu which scored 1.04 billion minutes from five days of availability for its fourth-season premiere (Apr. 27). Also in originals, 'The Circle' (641 million) held the third spot and was on par with last week's numbers (630 million), but Disney+'s 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier' plunged to 364 million (vs. 796 million) in its first week without a new episode. On the acquired programming side, there was no surprises as 'NCIS' retained the top spot (872 million) followed by 'Grey's Anatomy' (746 million), and 'Criminal Minds' (680 million). Finally, Amazon Prime's new film 'Without Remorse' led all movies with a strong 760 million.
