Marvel’s first animated series — titled What If …?, which Marvel describes as flipping the script “on the MCU, reimagining famous events from the films in unexpected ways” — has been wowing critics and fans alike since debuting on Disney+ this month. So much so, that the series is actually at the top of our latest weekly list of the most-watched TV shows across all the major streaming services. From Netflix to HBO Max, Apple TV+ and more.
The new Marvel series focuses on assortment of heroes from the MCU and includes a voice cast with stars reprising their popular film roles. It was directed by Bryan Andrews, with AC Bradley as head writer, and launched on Disney+ on August 11. Our assessment that this is the top streaming TV show for the week, meanwhile, comes from data shared with BGR by Reelgood, the streaming search engine service that takes a regular snapshot of its users’ activity on the platform.

Most-watched TV shows, streaming now
Reelgood measures the most popular shows among its users on both a weekly and monthly basis. For the week of August 11-17, which encompasses the debut of What If …?, this Marvel animated series immediately shot to the top of the ranking.
On the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes, the show currently has a 93% critics score. And the critics consensus take there reads: “What If…? may not add much to the larger MCU narrative, but surprising takes on beloved characters and some of the best action sequences in the entire franchise make for engaging viewing.”


The most recent episode, as the tweet above sets up, shows an alternate reality where the character of T’Challa — portrayed in Black Panther so fantastically by the late Chadwick Boseman — was abducted as a child instead of Peter Quill. So that T’Challa ends up becoming Star-Lord. Without spoiling the episode, let’s just say that it does feel so great to hear Boseman’s voice again (since he recorded his dialogue prior to his death last year).
Meantime, here’s a rundown of the full Top 10 streaming list for the week — based, again, on the Reelgood subscriber data. There are some obvious and very buzzy names on this list, including HBO’s The White Lotus and Apple’s global smash hit Ted Lasso. But don’t sleep on some of the newer names on the list, either. Like the Lior Raz-led Netflix series we’ve written about previously, Hit & Run. In short, it’s about a man searching for the truth about his wife’s death.


Here’s this week’s full Top 10 list (August 11-17, per Reelgood):



  1. What If …?
  2. Reservation Dogs
  3. The White Lotus
  4. Ted Lasso
  5. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
  6. Titans
  7. Yellowstone
  8. Fantasy Island
  9. Hit & Run
  10. Rick and Morty

One major theme with every variant is, Loki included, is no matter what circumstance that changes their path, they are the same person deep inside. Dr. Strange, T'Challa, Steve Rodgers and Peggy Carter. The Dr. Strange episode proved if there is no one strong enough to check him, his arrogance will always get the best of him.

Episode 3
"What If... the World Lost Its Mightiest Heroes?"

Finished watching this episode earlier.

I have been skeptical of this series since it's debut. But this episode just kicked it up a notch with me.

If this episode was live action, it would have played out nicely for sure.

The episode deals with what might have happened if the Avengers, as we known them prior to the 1st Avengers movie, had never happened.

They had a shit load of cameos in it from various MCU movies prior to "Infinity War". They got majority of the actors to come back to do their voices. It looks like Tony Stark, Betty Ross, General Ross, Captain Marvel and Lady Sif had different actors. The actors covering for them did a good job.

Don't want to give anything away for those who have not seen it.

Episode 4
What If… Doctor Strange Loses His Heart

Ok...Now it makes sense why Disney released that Spiderman trailer. It looks like all these episodes are part of the MCU dealing with the multiverse. This series is not looking like i what they did in the original 1980s comic books.

I'm not going to spoil it, but I will say that what we saw in that Spiderman trailer is most likely not playing out like we may think. It most likely has to do with the after effects of what happened in the series finale of "Loki" and what we see in this episode.

I will say if you are blowing this series off, I suggest you wait until all the episodes debut and watch them prior to "The Eternals" and "Spiderman".

Not sure how it might fit with "Shang-Chi" being its being released as this series plays out.
