Over the past few weeks, popular Apple TV+ shows have risen to the top of the streaming charts. Dark Matter rose to the top of the streaming charts a few weeks ago, overtaking popular titles like Amazon Prime Video's Fallout. And now another Apple TV+ show has overtaken popular releases such as the new seasons of House of the Dragon and The Boys. But this time, it's a show you've probably never heard of.

The latest streaming charts have revealed that new Apple TV+ show Presumed Innocent has taken the top spot for TV shows. It's sitting at the second spot overall, across both films and shows. It's one of the latest releases to join the growing list of shows and movies on the streaming service. Presumed Innocent was created by J.J. Abrams based on the Scott Turow novel. The series stars Jake Gyllenhaal as an attorney accused of murder.
