Following the success of new streaming originals, three series stand out as essential viewing this weekend: Ghosts, Marshals, and Survivor. Each dominates Paramount+'s charts with unique storytelling approaches.

Ghosts

Ghosts maintains its reputation as a critically acclaimed hit with a 97% rating across five seasons. Its two-part finale airs May 21, making this weekend ideal for catching up before the break.

This British import follows Sam and Jay as they transform a haunted estate into a bed-and-breakfast, blending humor with supernatural charm. Perfect for fans of witty, nostalgic comedy, it’s available exclusively on Paramount+.

Marshals

As Taylor Sheridan’s latest neo-Western, Marshals leads Paramount+’s global rankings despite mixed critical reception. The series follows former Navy SEAL Luke Grimes tracking criminals alongside U.S. Marshals.

With a 42% critic score but 2 million+ viewers per episode, it defies expectations. While debates continue about its longevity, its cultural impact remains undeniable.

Survivor

In its historic 50th season, Survivor continues captivating audiences with Jeff Probst’s guidance. Only three episodes separate fans from the finale on May 20.

This enduring reality staple, now in its fifth decade, offers intense competition and emotional storytelling. With two additional seasons confirmed, it’s a must-watch for reality TV enthusiasts.
