Best movies and shows on Peacock right now, ranked
Peacock pairs NBCUniversal’s TV catalog with Universal and DreamWorks films that rotate in after their theatrical runs. This page ranks the best-rated movies and shows included with a Peacock plan in the US, so you can see what’s worth watching while it’s there.
How this is ranked: when a title has at least 5 ratings from Wochly users, its score is their average. Otherwise we use TMDB’s user rating weighted by how many people voted, so a title with a handful of votes can’t outrank an established favorite. Community ratings are still sparse for Peacock, so most scores below are the weighted TMDB signal (marked “TMDB, weighted”); green scores come from Wochly users. Availability comes from JustWatch via TMDB and is re-checked every few hours.
