  • Topping our list of the most-watched TV shows across the major streaming platforms this week is HBO Max's The Flight Attendant.

Unless you've been living under the proverbial rock, you're probably aware by now that HBO Max has been dominating entertainment industry news headlines this week even if you're only a casual consumer of pop culture and not necessarily a ravenous news junkie. It has to do with the decision from HBO Max's parent company to debut every single Warner Bros. movie in 2021 on the streaming platform on the same day that each movie is released in theaters.
