Here Is the List of Most Watched Peacock TV Shows of 2023!
SNL
Saturday Night Live has been running for four decades for a reason: the sketch comedy follows an age-old formula that remains unaffected by a quickly changing world.
While everyone has a favorite era of SNL (it generally depends on when you grew up), and it can be hit or miss, it’s dependable entertainment that introduced the entertainment industry and the world to some of the greatest comedians, including (but not exclusively) Martin Short, Will Ferrell, Bill Hader, as well as Kate McKinnon.
Peacock will feature episodes from all 47 seasons of the show and the latest 48 episodes, making it simple to pick and look at your favorite bits.
The Office
There’s a reason why Gen Z’s favorite comedy is a favorite. This series was the most-watched show on Netflix last year, and only its first five seasons are available for free on Peacock, with the remainder of seasons, 6 to 9, available only on the premium tiers.
Regardless, with a cast entire of recognized and rising stars, this remake of the British series significantly surpassed the original’s duration. In this workplace mockumentary, Steve Carell‘s Michael Scott gets most of the laughs as the dumb boss.
The blossoming romance between Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) & Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) was the true heart of this series. This is a sitcom for the ages, and it continues to gain new fans year after year.
Modern Family
In a sea of reboots, revivals, & recycled concepts, The Modern Family was an enjoyable addition to the prime-time sitcom schedule when it premiered in 2009. Not surprisingly, the sitcom won Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series for its first five seasons.
The story follows the Pritchetts and their respective “modern” families, which include Jay, the older patriarch, and his much younger Columbian wife; Mitchell, his husband, along with their adopted daughter; and Claire, Jay’s high-strung daughter, her goofy husband, Phil, and their three children.
As the family members go about their regular lives, each episode is packed with double entendres, incredible misunderstandings, amusing jokes, and exceptional performances.
The segments have breaks with seated interview segments in which the characters explain their real feelings and plans to an anonymous cameraperson. Characters often break the fourth wall in front of this unknown cameraperson.
It’s rare for a sitcom to make you laugh out loud, yet with each episode of this savvy and humorous show, it’s practically a guarantee. You can watch all the episodes of every Modern Family on Peacock season.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Andy Samberg is an immature NYPD detective who enjoys joking and hates following the rules. Andre Braugher is his new captain, and he’s stern, rule-following, and full of seriousness.
Their constant conflict and that of the rest of the beloved precinct make Brooklyn Nine-Nine a never-ending rewatchable comedy. It’s brilliant but also has a lot of weight in the stupid hijinks genre.
The resulting eighth season integrates the genuine issue of police brutality into its arc, giving room for victims and addressing disillusionment within the police force without compromising an inch of comedy. It’s a master class in modern-day writing.
Suits
The story revolves around wealthy, arrogant, and prosperous corporate lawyers in New York who manage a business and win cases by doing whatever it takes to please their clients.
When they come across a talented, young, aspiring lawyer called Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), Harvey Spectre (Gabriel Macht), the firm’s top lawyer, hires him on the spot. Except for one minor but significant flaw: Mike never graduated from Harvard and lacked both a degree and a license to practice law.
While the show initially focuses on Mike and Harvey being the perfect combination while still trying to cover up the truth, it expands into much more throughout nine seasons.
