Guy Ritchie’s 8-Part Crime Series Is Back On Top The Streaming Charts After Divisive Episode Of Former Champion

Guy Ritchie’s eight-episode crime series is back on top of streaming charts.

A new series on Prime Video has quickly become the most-watched show on streaming, following a recent episode of the previously popular show. Prime Video has been having a lot of success with its TV programs lately, especially the superhero series Invincible, which has consistently topped their charts.

According to FlixPatrol, the show Invincible has dropped to third place on Prime Video’s most-watched list. It had been the top show since its release on March 18th. Now, Young Sherlock is number one. This series, created by Ritchie, features a 19-year-old Sherlock Holmes tackling his first murder case as a student at Oxford.

As of March 30, 2026, Young Sherlock is the top show in nine countries – Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Singapore, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates. Invincible is still number one in Chile and Egypt, but Young Sherlock‘s success is likely due to a recent decline in popularity for the superhero series.

How Young Sherlock Swooped In To Take Invincible’s Number 1 Spot

It’s understandable that the Sherlock Holmes prequel show has become more popular than the current superhero series, and it’s not just because of the prequel’s quality. Young Sherlock has received very positive reviews, while Invincible’s latest episode, “Hurm,” from season 4 has been poorly received. In fact, it’s the lowest-rated episode of the series so far.

Currently, the Invincible episode “Hurm” has a 6.9/10 rating on IMDb, based on 11,000 reviews. The episode features an original story where Mark Grayson travels to Hell to battle Volcanikka and reinstate Satan as the ruler of the underworld. While season 4 of Invincible has generally received positive feedback, this particular episode frustrated some viewers due to its focus on dialogue and its disruption of the main storyline.

Although viewership for Invincible levels off a bit after each new episode, it’s surprising to see Young Sherlock become more popular. Young Sherlock, which premiered on March 4, 2026, has already proven successful on Prime Video, and its resurgence highlights both its own popularity and a decline in Invincible‘s dominance on the platform.

When Will Invincible Reclaim Its Streaming Success?

Good news for fans! It looks like Invincible is poised to quickly regain its popularity on Prime Video. While season 4 wasn’t perfect, the latest episode included a major event straight from the original comic books, signaling that the show is heading in the right direction and will soon closely follow the comic’s storyline.

The series is building towards a major story arc: The Viltrumite War. This eight-issue storyline will feature Mark and his team battling Thragg and the Viltrum Empire. Because this arc is so significant in the comic book, the show is expected to gain even more viewers as it unfolds.

Despite the continued popularity of shows on Prime Video, Young Sherlock becoming more watched is a significant achievement for Ritchie’s series. It’s a strong show in its own right, and it’s managed to outperform one of Amazon’s most popular superhero series. While its time at the top might be brief, it’s still a remarkable success.
