• Every week, Parrot Analytics provides Business Insider the most in-demand original TV shows on streaming services.
• This week includes new entry DC Universe's "Young Justice: Outsiders."

DC Universe dominated streaming this week with its two original shows at the top of this week's list of the most in-deman streaming shows: "Titans" and its latest animated series, "Young Justice: Outsiders," a revival of Cartoon Network's "Young Justice."

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.
