For some reason, Nielsen never officially released the SVOD streaming ratings for the week ending May 29th - their public website skipped from w/e May 22 to w/e June 5th, so I had to dig up as many of the ratings as I could from trade publications. I've reached out to some people to see if I can get the rest of the week's top 10s, and this post will be updated if I get them. UPDATED WITH FULL CHART
