Netflix TV chart sees an unexpected shake-up
The comedy nobody thought they’d love
It seems Nobody Wants This—but, ironically, everybody wants it! The dynamic comedy duo of Kristen Bell and Adam Brody, under the adept direction of creator Erin Foster, have skyrocketed to the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s English TV chart. Garnering a whopping 15.9 million views in its second week, the show has dethroned the gripping docuseries, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
From debut to dominance
A remarkable ascent, Nobody Wants This initially premiered at No. 2, pulling in 10.3 million views within just four days. The bittersweet blend of humor and heart certainly doesn’t want for charm; but its viewership suggests that, despite the irony of its title, this show has captured the hearts and screens of many.
Monsters still makes a monstrous impact
Despite slipping to No. 2, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story continues to engage audiences with 13.1 million views. This harrowing series had previously dominated the Netflix charts, reigning supreme for two consecutive weeks with a colossal 19.5 million views last week. Its staying power is proof of the audience’s undying fascination with true crime dramas.
The reality of Love Is Blind and other favorites
Debuting at No. 3 is another reality TV sensation: Love Is Blind Season 7. This season managed to draw in 5.2 million viewers, proving that the allure of blind romance is still strong.
Meanwhile, the heartfelt tales in Heartstopper Season 3 also captured significant attention, slating into the No. 4 spot with 4.5 million views. The coming-of-age saga resonates deeply with its audience, blending youthful exuberance and poignant storytelling.
Limited series continue to make waves
Sustaining its attention weeks after its release, The Perfect Couple—the limited series headlined by Nicole Kidman and directed by Susanne Bier—settled comfortably at No. 5. Gaining 3.8 million views, it showcases the continuous draw of high-caliber, star-studded productions.
Wrestling with drama: Mr. McMahon
In its second week, the docuseries Mr. McMahon, focusing on the controversial life of former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, landed the No. 6 position. Despite a dip in viewership to 3.4 million viewers from an initial 4.9 million, its hold suggests a solid interest in behind-the-scenes revelations of wrestling entertainment.
Parisian allure and timeless thrillers
The Parisian adventures in Emily in Paris Season 4 continue their charm offensive, maintaining a presence in the top 10 for their eighth week with 2.6 million views.
On the cinematic front, the non-English films chart sees Spain’s dystopian thriller The Platform 2 seizing the No. 1 spot with 19.4 million views. Its predecessor, The Platform, re-entered at No. 5, attracting 3.7 million views.
Tim Burton’s magical touch
Tim Burton’s enchanting film, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children reclaimed its magic by hitting the No. 1 position on the English films list with 7.1 million views. This fantasy adventure underscores Burton’s knack for weaving compelling, eccentric narratives that captivate audiences of all ages.
