‘South Park’s Unstoppable Record Run Continues This Week As Well: Here Are the Remaining Top 10 Shows from Paramount+’s Most-Watched Show of the Week List

Paramount+ offers a wide variety of popular shows, from funny animated series to thrilling crime dramas and compelling legal stories. Whether you enjoy comedy, action, or reality TV, you’ll find something to watch. Here’s a quick guide to what each show is about, who stars in it, and how it connects to other shows or the wider television world.

10. ‘NCIS: Tony & Ziva’ (2025–present)

‘NCIS: Tony & Ziva’ brings back beloved characters Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David for more action-packed adventures within the ‘NCIS’ world. The show follows them as they balance dangerous international missions with their family lives. It builds on what fans already know about Tony and Ziva – their skills, experience, and history – to create exciting new stories. Each case isn’t just about solving a crime; it also affects them personally, showing everything from secret hideouts to teamwork and surveillance. As part of the ‘NCIS’ franchise, the show can also feature appearances from other ‘NCIS’ teams.

9. ‘Elsbeth’ (2024–present)

‘Elsbeth’ follows Elsbeth Tascioni, a lawyer who uses her unique approach to the law to assist the NYPD in solving crimes. Each episode quickly reveals who committed the crime, and then focuses on *how* they were caught and the evidence used to prove it. While connected to other legal shows featuring the same character, the series is also designed to be enjoyable for first-time viewers. Familiar police officers and legal professionals appear throughout the show, providing a consistent thread between each week’s new case.

8. ‘Criminal Minds’ (2005–present)

As a big fan of crime dramas, I’ve always been hooked on ‘Criminal Minds’. The show centers around the FBI’s team of behavioral profilers – they basically get inside the heads of criminals to predict what they’ll do and stop them before they strike across the country. Each episode usually starts with a new, disturbing case, then dives into understanding the victims and figuring out where the criminal might strike next. It’s really satisfying to watch them piece everything together and finally catch the ‘unsub,’ as they call them. Over the years, the team has changed, but you always have a core group of profilers, a tech expert, and leaders who guide them. What I love is that even with spin-offs and revivals, the show always keeps that focus on how people *think* and how different agencies can work together to solve these really tough cases.

7. ‘Survivor’ (2000–present)

‘Survivor’ drops contestants in isolated places where they divide into tribes and battle it out in challenges. Players vote each other off at Tribal Council, combining physical strength with social maneuvering and limited supplies. The last player standing, determined by a final vote from previously voted-out contestants, is named the Sole Survivor. Throughout the game, unexpected advantages, hidden idols, and surprising twists keep alliances fluid and change the potential outcome. Each season showcases how players adjust their strategies to new rules and the ever-changing relationships within their groups.

6. ‘The Neighborhood’ (2018–present)

‘The Neighborhood’ is a funny sitcom that follows the lives of people living on a street in Los Angeles as they deal with different cultures and the ups and downs of daily life. The show focuses on family relationships, work challenges, and the bonds people form within their community, often taking place in familiar settings like homes and local shops. Each episode combines lighthearted, situational comedy with realistic stories about the characters’ everyday routines. While some storylines continue over multiple episodes, most are self-contained and easy to follow.

5. ‘Ghosts’ (2021–present)

I’m really enjoying the American version of ‘Ghosts’! It’s about a couple who unexpectedly inherit this old country house, only to discover it’s already full of…well, ghosts! The fun part is, one of them almost dies and suddenly *can* see and talk to these spirits. It’s basically a sitcom about roommates, except some of them are centuries old! Each episode digs into the ghosts’ lives – how they died, what their stories are – and it somehow always connects to the couple trying to fix up the house. The show does a great job of juggling different storylines, focusing on both the living characters and the ghosts themselves, so there’s always something interesting happening.

4. ‘Matlock’ (2024–present)

The updated ‘Matlock’ stars Kathy Bates as Madeline “Matty” Matlock, an experienced lawyer returning to a high-profile firm. Each case centers around careful detective work, smart courtroom tactics, and the relationships within the firm itself. While tackling current legal challenges, the show keeps the spirit of the original ‘Matlock’. Episodes are filled with complex mysteries that are revealed through interviews, surprising evidence, and dramatic courtroom scenes.

3. ‘NCIS’ (2003–present)

NCIS follows a team in Washington, D.C. that solves crimes related to the Navy and Marine Corps. They use a combination of scientific investigation, fieldwork, and teamwork with other agencies. Over the years, the team has changed, but it always includes special agents, doctors, and forensic experts. Each episode often features a single case, but sometimes storylines stretch over multiple episodes and involve characters who keep coming back. The show has become very popular and has led to several spin-offs and crossover events with other series.

2. ‘Tulsa King’ (2022–present)

‘Tulsa King’ follows Sylvester Stallone as Dwight Manfredi, nicknamed ‘The General,’ a mafia boss from New York who’s released from prison and tasked with expanding his criminal operations to Tulsa, Oklahoma. The series, created by Taylor Sheridan and initially led by Terence Winter, combines the humor of an outsider adjusting to a new environment with the intense world of organized crime. It focuses on Dwight’s attempts to assemble a team and establish power, all while dealing with competing gangs and the local police. The show gradually reveals connections between Dwight’s history back east and the relationships he’s forging in the Midwest.

1. ‘South Park’ (1997–present)

As a huge animation fan, I’ve always been amazed by *South Park*. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, it’s this hilarious show about four kids growing up in Colorado. What really sets it apart is how quickly it reacts to what’s happening in the world – they’ll tackle current events and pop culture moments in a really funny, satirical way. Over the years, it’s gone beyond just regular episodes with special events and things made specifically for streaming, but it always feels connected to the main story. And honestly, the core group – Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny – are just iconic. Each episode is a new adventure, and sometimes those adventures even build on each other across multiple seasons!
