VisionQuest is the most-watched show on Disney+ worldwide, and it has the reviews to match: a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score, according to Screen Rant. Its two newest episodes landed on Tuesday, October 27, in a week that also brought a reality contest, a teen witch drama and a Tulsa mystery to Disney+ and Hulu.
VisionQuest
Paul Bettany returns as Vision, the synthesized android forced out of his quiet existence when a bounty is put on his head. James Spader appears as Ultron. The series completes an MCU trilogy that began with WandaVision and Agatha All Along, both streaming on Disney+.
Phony
After a two-part premiere the week before, Phony sat third on the Disney+ global viewership chart. Sam Nivola plays Sonny, who wakes from a car crash convinced the woman claiming to be his mother, played by Connie Britton, is not who she says she is. It blends comedy, mystery and thriller, scored 94% with Rotten Tomatoes audiences, and brings new episodes every Tuesday.
Coven Academy
Twenty-one episodes of 10 to 22 minutes each make this one easy to finish in a weekend. It follows teenage witches and warlocks at a supernatural boarding school in a haunted corner of New Orleans. Critics gave it a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes and singled out the ensemble cast. Fans of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina are the obvious audience.
The Mob
The biggest new arrival on Hulu and Disney+ that week, The Mob opened with a two-part premiere on Monday, October 26. It comes from the production companies behind the Emmy-winning The Traitors and borrows that show’s strategy, setting celebrities against each other for a $250,000 prize. Parker Posey hosts. Bruno Tonioli and Romeo Miller are among the contestants.
The Lowdown
Its first two seasons hold a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. Ethan Hawke plays Lee Raybon, a local writer and self-appointed investigator in Tulsa, Oklahoma, who keeps stumbling into trouble, sometimes with his loved ones in the line of fire, while digging up corruption. Betty Gilpin and Tommy Lee Jones joined for season two. New episodes arrive every Wednesday.
