The 10 most popular shows on Max right now

Fans of The Gilded Age should be happy to hear that they’ve helped it keep its title as the most popular show on Max this week. The series has remained in the top slot since the second season premiere a few weeks ago. The bottom half of this week’s list is almost identical to last week’s lineup, with the exception of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

There was no new episode of that show, and that’s why it failed to rank this week. Lost Women of Highway 20 and 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way also dropped out this week, paving the way for Bookie , The Garden: Commune or Cult , and Let Us Prey: A Ministry of Scandals to join the list. But we’ll have to wait until next week to see if these shows have staying power.
