When it comes to checking out what's trending on Peacock, its top 10 list is a mix of everything, from reality show staples like "The Voice" and "The Real Housewives" to the kind of high-stakes dramas you can't help but binge. While it's not the biggest streaming service out there, don't be too quick to overlook its surprisingly impressive library.
Scattered among the comfort rewatches and shows from Dick Wolf (dun dun) are some genuinely compelling shows that are worth your precious streaming time. Its latest TV hit, "Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy," is a rare grounded true crime drama that proves Peacock can hold its own against the streaming heavyweights.
To help you settle on what to watch, I've combed through Peacock's top 10 lineup and picked out the three series worth binge-watching this week.
This list is based on the Peacock top 10 U.S shows as of Saturday, October 18, 2025.
Best shows in the Peacock top 10
'Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy' (2025)
True crime fans will want to check out Peacock's new serial killer opus, "Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy," which wasted zero time shooting to the #1 spot after debuting this week. Michael Chernus is impressively unsettling as Gacy, who killed dozens of boys and young men in 1970s suburban Chicago. Before police uncovered his heinous crimes, he would have been the last person people suspected: a respected employee, a friendly neighbor, and a fixture in local politics who donned clown makeup to cheer up sick kids.
"Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy" peels back the layers of this facade, but unlike a lot of dramatized serial killer stories, the focus gradually shifts beyond the shock factor itself. Peacock's latest crime drama puts the humanity of Gacy's victims front and center, giving as much time to unpacking the challenges for law enforcement and examining the genre itself as it does to the bloody carnage.

'Chicago Fire' (2012)
The heat is back on at Firehouse 51 for season 14 of "Chicago Fire," the scorching hot NBC drama from "Law & Order" showrunner Dick Wolf. This latest season included epic two- and three-part crossovers with Wolf’s other powerhouse series — "Chicago P.D.," "Chicago Med," "Chicago Justice," and "Law & Order: SVU" — for plenty of high-stakes drama practically made in a lab to be binged.
From tornadoes and ammonia leaks to airborne outbreaks and turf wars, the "Chicago Fire's" crew has been put through the wringer. But beyond the big set pieces, "Chicago Fire" shines brightest in its quieter moments, when it digs into the private lives of its firefighters to give their shortcomings and vulnerabilities room to breathe.

'The Real Housewives of Miami' (2011)
Speaking of shows that bring the heat, "The Real Housewives of Miami" just wrapped up its Season 7 finale this week with an explosive reunion. The latest season finds Alexia picking up the pieces of her life after a surprise divorce, Marysol is planning a wedding, Lisa living her best Milan runway life, while Larsa is navigating the trials and tribulations of single life.
Meanwhile, Guerdy is on her cancer remission journey but can't seem to ditch the drama, Julia's juggling babies and opera, and newcomer Stephanie Shojaee is thriving on all the chaos. Strong personalities clash, lines are drawn, and not every friendship can escape the chopping block — y'know, all that delightfully trashy TV goodness.
