For the first time since the show became exclusive to Peacock, The Office has made the weekly streaming rankings.

The long-running comedy series racked up 602 million minutes of viewing time for the week of Jan. 22-28, good enough for ninth place among library series. It’s the first appearance for The Office — which was a regular entrant in the early days of the Nielsen rankings — since it left Netflix for Peacock at the beginning of 2021.

At the top of the rankings for the week is Griselda, Netflix’s drama about the infamous drug queenpin starring Sofia Vergara. The series had 1.59 billion minutes of watch time over its first four days of release (it premiered Jan. 25). Reacher (741 million minutes) hung on in second place among original series a week after its second season finale on Prime Video, beating out Netflix’s docuseries American Nightmare (676 million).

Kids’ favorite Bluey led the acquired series top 10 (and was second among all titles) with 1.25 billion minutes of viewing, after leading the rankings a week earlier. Rick and Morty (617 million minutes on Max and Hulu) returned to the rankings, while another kids’ show, Cocomelon, fell off the chart for just the second time in the past three years (the other was in early January).

Nielsen’s streaming ratings cover viewing on TV sets only and don’t include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. The ratings only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries. The top streaming titles for Jan. 22-28, 2024, are below.
