Logo textPeacock’s throwback murder-mystery show Poker Face had a good premiere week, slotting in third place among original streaming series in Nielsen’s rankings. Ginny & Georgia spent its fourth straight week as the top series but lost its No. 1 overall title to Netflix’s movie You People.

Poker Face, whose first four episodes debuted Jan. 26, had 547 million minutes of viewing time for the week of Jan. 23-29. That ranks as the third best weekly showing ever for a Peacock original series on the Nielsen streaming charts; The Best Man: The Final Chapters had two weeks over 700 million minutes in December.

Ginny & Georgia drew 1.3 billion minutes of watch time for the week, marking its fourth consecutive frame as the most streamed series. The Netflix mother-daughter drama has rolled up 8.35 billion minutes of viewing since its second season premiered in early January. That ’90s Show (963 million minutes) came in second among originals for the second straight week.

The Walking Dead had another strong showing for Netflix, reaching a billion minutes of watch time (1.04 billion, to be precise) for the third week in a row. The Last of Us edged up to 877 million minutes on HBO Max from 837 million the previous week (the show’s streaming figures don’t include any linear viewing on the HBO cable channel).

The overall No. 1 for Jan. 23-29 was Kenya Barris’ You People, which had 1.58 billion minutes of viewing — the equivalent of about 13.47 million full runs of the 117-minute film — after its Jan. 27 premiere. Prime Video’s Shotgun Wedding, starring Jennifer Lopez, also had a strong debut with 872 million minutes.
