10. Black Rabbit – 3,300,000 views last week

A rising New York bar and restaurant owner gets dragged into the criminal underworld when his unreliable and debt-ridden brother crashes back into his life and causes havoc.

Watch it for no other reason than Jude Law’s truly impeccable wardrobe (Picture: Netflix)

9. Love Is Blind: Season 9 – 3,700,000 views

The pods move on over to Denver for this ninth run of the wildly successful dating reality show. As 32 singles try to get engaged without seeing each other first, then test their potential romance out in the real world. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, episodes are rolling out weekly which helps keep the drama drip fed and trending. Remember TV before all the binging…? What novelty! (Picture: Netflix)

A quirky genie (is there any other type?) returns after a thousand years to help a woman born without feelings. Her wishes, when granted, quickly start to complicate her life. Kim Woo-bin and Suzy team up for a glossy fantasy K-rom-com from writer Kim Eun-sook that’s proving a bottle-rubbingly fun escape for plenty of Netflix subscribers at the moment (Picture: Netflix)

7. Billionaires’ Bunker – 4,300,000 views

As a scary global conflict looms, the ultra-rich seal themselves in a luxury bunker where an old feud bubbles up. From Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato, expect slick thrills and sharp elbows from this Spanish thriller as power games play out underground. Critics aren’t sold on this (it only has an approval rating of 35% on Rotten Tomatoes), but it’s proving popular anyway (Picture: Netflix)

6. Bon Appétit, Your Majesty – 4,900,000 views

A modern star chef time-slips to ancient Joseon and ends up cooking for a fearsome young king. Im Yoon-ah and Lee Chae-min front a playful period romance that dishes up historical intrigue with foodie flair. It’s another South Korean drama, but these shows aren’t just proving popular in Asia. The current trend and huge interest in K-culture is propelling these shows up the chart and into the homes of folk right across the world (Picture: Netflix)

5. Ángela – 5,600,000 views

A seemingly happy wife trapped with an abusive husband finds dangerous temptation in a newcomer who offers a way out. Verónica Sánchez and Daniel Grao headline this tense Spanish series that’s doing very well, particularly in the Spanish-speaking world. UK TV fans may recognise the plot and half the title – it’s based on the ITV1 series Angela Black, which aired on the channel back in 2021 (Picture: Netflix)

4. House of Guinness – 6,400,000 views

Dublin, 1868. The Guinness patriarch is dead and four heirs jostle for control of the brewery that will define their legacy. Created by Peaky Blinders scribe Steven Knight, the period drama slowly pours family scandal and succession moves into eight rich episodes (at a slight angle, of course). On the surface, it may seem a rather dry topic, but the quality of writing and the performances pushes House of Guinness firmly into watercooler territory (Picture: Netflix/PA Wire)

3. Alice in Borderland: Season 3 – 7,000,000 views

Arisu and Usagi are drawn back into yet more deadly games as the hit Japanese survival mystery-thriller returns with a whole stack of new cards on the table. Higher stakes and familiar faces keep fans happy. For new viewers tempted by the idea of this survival series set in a parallel Tokyo? If you’ve seen and like Battle Royale, this might be up your street (Picture: Netflix)

2. Monster: The Ed Gein Story – 12,200,000 views

The third season of Netflix’s dark crime anthology turns to one of America’s most infamous serial killers, Ed Gein. A surprise piece of casting in Charlie Hunnam leads a chilling retelling of the Plainfield murders and their cultural fallout. It’s dark, divisive and increasingly popular, rocketing straight up to second in the charts in its debut week (Picture: Netflix)

1. Wayward – 14,100,000 views

Comedian Mae Martin’s creepy thriller follows a small-town cop who suspects the local academy for troubled teens is hiding something really rather rotten. With Toni Collette adding star pull, this Canadian mystery relies heavily on its lead. But with one as reliably excellent as the Muriel’s Wedding and Hereditary star, that’s not an issue. It’s eerie, it’s unsettling and it’s the most-watched television series on Netflix right now (Picture: Netflix)
