Movie and TV show fans have never had it so good when it comes to the content options available for the consumer market: there are currently more than a dozen different streaming services delivering all kinds of movies or series straight to their TV sets, literally at the touch of a button. With that amount of new content being released every month, though, which films or TV shows are more likely to be worth each viewer’s precious time? Which movies or series are most people interested in knowing about?

That’s where JustWatch comes in. It’s a Web service designed to collect and present information on every movie or TV show featured in practically all streaming services operating around the world today, in one place. Visitors can create a free account, pick their country of residence – content is often different or even unavailable in various regions – define the streaming services they are interested in and get recommendations based on their preferences and searches. Consumers can then use the free JustWatch apps available for their Smart TV, streaming device, smartphone or tablet in order to always have new suggestions available on what’s hot and recommended on every streaming platform.

Based on user interest – as dictated by searches and recommendations – JustWatch is able to put together Top Ten charts of movies and TV shows across all streaming services operating in each country, every month. These are the films that consumers in the United States have been more interested in over the past few weeks.

Taking a look at February’s charts it’s plain to see that – compared to January’s charts – the Oscars have had more of an influence on what people are watching and searching information about. Most of the films claiming a spot in the JustWatch Movies Top 10 are nominated in one or multiple categories for an Academy Award, the exception obviously being The Gorge which is a 2025 release. Most of the nominated films not present in this Top 10 have simply not found their way to streaming services yet – and some of them will soon enough, even by the end of March, such as Anora or The Brutalist.

When it comes to TV shows, though, it was business as usual: established series such as Severance, The White Lotus and Yellowstone all claimed a slot in February’s chart, as did shows that did well during the past two months, such as Paradise or High Potential (both of which will be getting a second season next year). What’s notable in the JustWatch TV Shows Top 10 is that it was The Night Agent, not Zero Day, that claimed a spot in February. Maybe De Niro’s latest will make the cut in March, so stay tuned!
