When NBC first announced their new streaming service, we weren't sure what to expect. But Peacock has quickly risen to the forefront of television streaming and we couldn't be more excited. With more than 10 million subscribers in just a few months, everyone is clamoring to know what exactly this new platform has to offer, which is why we here at Sarah Scoop are on the hunt to help you discover what your next binge-fest should center around!
Here are our picks for the Top 10 Shows to watch on Peacock.
10. "Psych"
Originally running from 2006-2014, this comedy has also produced two TV movies. And the cast hasn't kept quiet in voicing their desire to do more. Centered around fake psychic Shawn Spencer (James Roday Rodriguez) and his best friend Gus (Dule Hill), the series plays directly to the funny bone of solving crimes.
9. "Chicago Med," "Chicago Fire", "Chicago PD"
From "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf, the "Chicago" series spans three shows each focusing on a different aspect of public service in Illinois. Each has their own value: "PD" hunts down the bad guys, "Fire" rescues, and "Med" patches everyone up. In addition, each show also has plenty of in-office drama. The best part? Occasional crossovers between two or even all three shows. You really can't go wrong.
8. "Parenthood"
Loosely based on the 1989 film of the same name, "Parenthood" is all about family. It tells the story of the Bravermans and their legacy across several generations.

Nelson, Lauren Graham, Peter Krause, and Monica Potter among many others, this show is one that you don't want to miss on Peacock.
