Most Popular Crime TV Shows — SeasonTracker Tracking Data August 2026
Reacher sits at the top of SeasonTracker's crime category with 280 trackers, ahead of second placed The Lincoln Lawyer by 52. That gap is the widest anywhere in the top 15, and it means roughly one in five of the 1,360 SeasonTracker users tracking at least one show has Reacher on their list.
Here is the full ranking for the week of August 10, 2026:
1. Reacher (Prime Video) 280 trackers 2. The Lincoln Lawyer (Netflix) 228 trackers 3. Paradise (Hulu) 201 trackers 4. Your Friends & Neighbors (Apple TV) 168 trackers 5. High Potential (ABC) 166 trackers 6. Only Murders in the Building (Hulu) 164 trackers 7. Slow Horses (Apple TV) 163 trackers 8. Tracker (CBS) 129 trackers 9. The Rookie (ABC) 116 trackers 10. Cross (Prime Video) 116 trackers 11. Tulsa King (Paramount+) 105 trackers 12. Daredevil: Born Again (Disney+) 101 trackers 13. Bad Monkey (Apple TV) 101 trackers 14. Marshals (CBS) 93 trackers 15. Will Trent (ABC) 78 trackers
The 15 shows above account for 2,209 tracking entries between them, drawn from a catalogue of 5,785 unique titles that SeasonTracker users are following. Crime is clearly a concentrated category: three titles clear 200 trackers, and the drop from Slow Horses at 163 to Tracker at 129 is the second largest step in the list, effectively splitting the ranking into an upper tier of seven and a longer tail below it.
Week over week movement is modest across the board, which is typical for a summer week. The two largest gains both come in at plus two: Your Friends & Neighbors, which holds fourth place with 168 trackers, and The Rookie, which sits ninth on 116. The Rookie's gain is the more notable of the pair because it is now tied on raw trackers with Cross at 116, with the two separated only by ranking order. Another small movement in either direction would flip that pairing.
Five titles were flat this week: Only Murders in the Building, Slow Horses, Tracker, Tulsa King and Bad Monkey. Bad Monkey's flat reading also leaves it level with Daredevil: Born Again at 101 trackers, a second exact tie inside the top 13. Reacher, The Lincoln Lawyer and Paradise each added one tracker, enough to preserve the podium order without changing the distance between them.
By network, Apple TV and ABC each place three shows in the top 15, the joint highest count. Apple TV's entries are spread across the ranking at fourth, seventh and thirteenth, while ABC's arrive at fifth, ninth and fifteenth. Hulu, Prime Video and CBS each place two, with Netflix, Paramount+ and Disney+ contributing one apiece. Prime Video has the strongest per title performance, with Reacher and Cross combining for 396 trackers.
Every show in this ranking is currently listed as a Returning Series, so none of these tracker counts are being propped up by finale attention or cancellation news. That makes the current order a reasonably clean read on standing user interest rather than short term event traffic.
Month over month comparisons are not available for this category yet, since these titles have no prior monthly baseline in the data set. Future reports will include those figures once a full month of history is in place.
