If you were wondering which show is enjoying its tenth week in the top 10 charts, it’s Stephen Graham’s Emmy-winning limited series Adolescence. The four-episode psychological drama aired back in March and instantly gripped the nation — and the world. So much so that Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for it to be shown in schools to confront misogyny and incel culture in young males. Over the course of the 50 to 65-minute episodes, viewers watch Eddie Miller (Graham) and his wife Manda struggle to come to terms with their 13-year-old son Jamie’s arrest. The charge? Murdering his classmate, Katie Leonard (Picture: Netflix)

7. Wednesday: Season 2 – 4,400,000 views

Just ahead of Adolescence is season 2 of Wednesday, which is now in its eighth week in the charts. The new two-parter followed Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams getting up to her old tricks again as the unofficial Nevermore crime sleuth. This semester, she was intent on catching Tyler and destroying his Hyde. But in true Wednesday style, she caused a smidge (see: huge) amount of chaos along the way. Of course, she wasn’t alone: her Grandmama, brother Puglsey, and Uncle Fester all made their own hiccups, too (Picture: Helen Sloan/Netflix)

Love a pint of Guinness? Love on-screen family drama? House of Guinness is for you. The new series, which has been penned by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight (who has also been named as the new James Bond screenwriter), bills itself as a fictional true story, loosely based on the 1868 death of Benjamin Guinness, the Guinness family patriarch. Following their father’s death, the four Guinness children must figure out a way to take over the brewing empire and continue the Guinness legacy. Of course, this isn’t without familial drama, fights, and secrets (Picture: PA Wire)

Bon Appétit, Your Majesty is a South Korean fantasy series with a bit of romance sprinkled in there for good measure.

The show proves that food has always been the key to community, and a person’s heart (Picture: Netflix)
