Netflix’s weekly viewing charts for Feb. 9–15 were led by Tyler Perry’s Joe’s College Road Trip, which opened at No. 1 on the service’s English-language film list with 12.5 million views and 23.1 million hours watched.
The movie spins out of the Madea franchise by centering Joe, the foul-mouthed relative played by Tyler Perry, on a cross-country drive meant to teach his grandson B.J. life lessons while touring colleges. Netflix said Perry wrote, directed, produced and stars in the film, continuing a recent run of projects made with the streamer.
The bigger surprise landed on the TV side. Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich returned to Netflix’s English-language TV ranking at No. 3 with 8.4 million views and 31.6 million hours watched, a sharp resurgence for a limited series released in 2020. The spike follows renewed public attention around newly released federal records: the United States Department of Justice said Jan. 30 it published 3.5 million pages in response to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, with additional disclosures expected on a rolling basis.
At the top of Netflix’s English TV list, The Lincoln Lawyer ranked No. 1 for the week with 9.6 million views (80.8 million hours watched), narrowly ahead of Bridgerton at No. 2 with 9.4 million views (41.2 million hours).
Netflix reports “views” as total hours watched divided by a title’s runtime, a method the company says allows comparisons across formats and lengths.
