Fresh off its record-breaking launch last week, the show Samurai has continued to sweep the streaming charts, where it sits at No. 1 globally according to data from Samba TV (see X/Twitter post below), a rare feat. common for a show on Disney Plus and Hulu.

In the USA, shogun was the most-watched television premiere of a show developed by FX, surpassing the record previously set by Bear the second season. In other territories, shogun defeat The Kardashians The first season will also become number one in the general entertainment series category.
It also scores highly among critics, with a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an equally impressive 93% from viewers. But since it only releases new episodes weekly instead of all at once, that means there's a big gap between each new episode. How to fill it? The show is pretty unique in its setting and story, but there are plenty of exciting shows on Disney Plus and Hulu in other genres. Here are three of our favorites.
Bear
We know, there are no swords in this one, and no bears either. But the dialogue is sharp enough to do some serious damage in this exceptional drama, and there's plenty of conflict to watch right behind your fingers, too. The first season is good, but the second is even better, and critics agree: it's another 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes and it's also picked up a slew of awards. It's one of the best TV shows on any streamer and some of the kitchen scenes in particular are as nerve-wracking as anything you'll see on shogun.
Andor
The setting may be a galaxy far, far away from feudal Japan, but Andor It's no less epic. Focusing on rebel spy Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), this live-action Star Wars spinoff has a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and tons of great reviews. The New Republic says that “the show deserves to be seen as great television, in the same league as shows like The Wire and The Sopranos,” while our friends at GamesRadar said it's the “brave, dark Star Wars show we've ever seen.” been waiting for a long time.”
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Another top scorer, Percy Jackson and the Olympians it has a very healthy 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. The titular Percy finds himself on a dangerous mission threatened by terrifying monsters and angry gods alike, and it's a grand fantasy epic that, unlike shogun, it is also suitable for family viewing. The Guardian said it's a “lovely, multiverse-free way to spend an evening with kids.” It has been done so well that a second season has already been given the green light.
