"The Umbrella Academy" and "Stranger Things" continue to lead.

Audiences can't get enough of "Queer Eye" after Netflix debuted the third season on March 15. But "The Umbrella Academy" continues to dominate among viewers, and "Stranger Things" got a big boost from it third-season trailer, which dropped on Wednesday.

Every week, Parrot Analytics provides Business Insider with a list of the seven most "in-demand" TV shows on streaming services. The data is based on "demand expressions," the globally standardized TV demand measurement unit from Parrot Analytics. Audience demand reflects the desire, engagement, and viewership weighted by importance, so a stream or download is a higher expression of demand than a "like" or comment on social media.

Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 3): 91%

Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 2): 89%

What critics said: "Not knowing the producers' plan, I can't say if the right length for The Handmaid's Tale is two seasons or five or more. But sometimes the best testament to a story's effectiveness is that it makes you hope for it to end." — James Poniewozik, The New York Times

Season 3 premieres on Hulu June 25.

5. "Doom Patrol" (DC Universe)

Average demand expressions: 23,570,326

Each member of the Doom Patrol suffered a horrible accident that gave them superhuman abilities, but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found their purpose through The Chief, coming together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence. Following the mysterious disappearance of The Chief these reluctant heroes will find themselves in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg (JOIVAN WADE), who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of superpowered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them."
