One of the most prominent happenings in the last week would be the pushing out of the most anticipated series 1899 from the #1 position amongst TV series on the platform by a debutant. That being said, let’s take a glance at Netflix titles that were in demand internationally last week:
TV Series:
The debutant that dethroned the mystery science fiction series ‘1899’ is the record-breaking supernatural horror coming-of-age series ‘Wednesday’. The series had one of the biggest debut weekend viewing numbers ever recorded for Netflix shows. That coupled with the mixed reviews ‘1899’ got, it is no big-brainer that the German epic series was pushed to #2.
Wednesday (7055 points)
1899 (5041 points)
The Crown (3074 points)
Elite (2845 points)
Manifest (1732 points)
Dead to Me (1362 points)
Til Money Do Us Part (1273 points)
One of Us Is Lying (1256 points)
Arelys Henao: Canto para no llorar (1193 points)
Shuroop (1127 points)
Among these titles, we certainly recommend giving ‘Wednesday’ a try, even if you are not aware of the Addams family. Despite what some reviews suggest, do watch ‘1899’ as well, completely removing all the expectations you have for it. Try not to compare the series with the creator’s last series ‘Dark, and it will prove to be a decent watch, better than a whole lot of similar titles in the genre.
Among Indian titles, ‘Khakee: The Bihar Chapter’ has come in the top 15, with an impressive rank of 13 with 822 points.
Movies:
‘The Swimmers’ managed to get the top spot this week thanks to its broad appeal around the world.
Norwegian monster film ‘Troll’ made a great start since its addition to Netflix globally on Friday, even managing to edge out Lady Chatterley’s Lover which was arguably the bigger swing for Netflix for the week.
The Swimmers (5206 points)
The Noel Diary (4506 points)
Slumberland (3219 points)
My Name Is Vendetta (2700 points)
Troll (2639 points)
Lesson Plan (2181 points)
Christmas on Mistletoe Farm (1553 points)
Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1156 points)
Le Patient (1128 points)
