Netflix’s streaming landscape has once again been dominated by a mix of gripping tales, compelling narratives, and star-studded performances, marking another bustling week in the world of digital entertainment.
Sofia Vergara’s portrayal of a Colombian drug lord in “Griselda” continues to captivate global audiences, solidifying its position as the most-watched English-language series on Netflix for a consecutive week.
The series, which has now amassed over 100 million hours viewed, boasts an impressive 88% approval rate on Rotten Tomatoes, underscoring Vergara’s compelling transformation into the notorious figure.
Chart-Topping Series and New Entrants
While “Griselda” reigns supreme, the streaming giant’s top 10 charts are a vibrant mix of genres and stories. “Yellowstone,” despite not being a Netflix original, has seen a resurgence in popularity, claiming the eighth spot in its third week on the charts. The inclusion of “Yellowstone” in Netflix’s catalog has reintroduced the series to a wider audience, eagerly awaiting the resolution of its current hiatus and future direction without key cast members.
New titles have made significant inroads into the top 10, with “Alexander: The Making of a God” and “The Tourist” capturing viewers’ imaginations, alongside the adrenaline-pumping “NASCAR: Full Speed” and the beloved “Young Sheldon.” These series join the ranks of “American Nightmare,” “Love On The Spectrum,” and “The Brothers Sun,” showcasing the diverse tastes of Netflix’s global audience.
In the realm of non-English content, “Doctor Slump” retains its top spot, with enduring favorites like “Berlin” and “My Demon” continuing to draw in viewers, highlighting the universal appeal of well-crafted stories, regardless of language.
Historic Shifts and Musical Triumphs
The limited series “Fool Me Once” has etched its name into Netflix history, becoming one of the platform’s most-watched series ever. Surpassing “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story,” “Fool Me Once” has accumulated over 500 million hours viewed since its premiere, showcasing the enduring allure of mystery and drama.
In the movie category, “The Greatest Night In Pop,” a documentary chronicling the iconic “We Are The World” recording, has resonated with audiences, leading the pack with over 19 million hours viewed. Close behind is the animated adventure “Orion and the Dark,” with other titles like “Lift,” “Deep Fear,” and “The Postcard Killings” rounding out the top 5. Meanwhile, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” continues its impressive run in its tenth week among the most-watched movies on Netflix.
