The Netflix rankings are in, and it's a tale of contrasting fortunes for some of the platform's biggest titles. 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 continues to reign supreme, attracting a massive 9.4 million views in its first full week on Netflix. This is a slight dip from the first season's impressive 26 million views, but it's still a strong showing. 'The Witcher' Season 4, with Liam Hemsworth taking over from Henry Cavill, has seen a sharp decline in viewership, with just 7.4 million views for its opening weekend.
But the story doesn't end there. 'Stranger Things' Season 1 is making a comeback, creeping back onto the charts with 1.8 million views. This is likely a precursor to the show's fifth season, which is highly anticipated. 'The Asset', a Danish thriller, has emerged as Netflix's most-watched TV show of the week, debuting at the top of the non-English TV charts with 11.3 million views.
On the film front, 'A House of Dynamite', directed by Kathryn Bigelow, has taken the top spot again with 31.6 million views, a significant jump from its initial three-day total of 22 million views. 'Kpop Demon Hunters', an animated film, continues to perform exceptionally well, coming in second place among English films with 14 million views and marking its 20th week in the Top 10.
The rankings also highlight the enduring fascination with serial killers. 'Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers', a documentary about Aileen Wuornos, a rare female serial killer, has attracted 10.1 million views, landing it in third place. 'Monster: The Ed Gein Story' has held onto sixth place with 2.8 million views.
And this is the part most people miss... The film 'Ballad of a Small Player', starring Colin Farrell and Tilda Swinton, debuted at No. 4 with 6.9 million views. But here's where it gets controversial... While some may celebrate the success of these titles, others might question the appeal of certain genres or the impact of these shows on the entertainment industry. What do you think?
