New Show Tops Netflix’s Top 10 List, Beating Michael Jackson Verdict
Netflix’s Top 10 list has seen some shifts recently, with the new documentary Michael Jackson: The Verdict being dethroned by a familiar favorite. Sweet Magnolias, now in its fifth season, has claimed the top spot, showing its staying power as a romantic drama that continues to captivate audiences.
On the other hand, Michael Jackson: The Verdict has faced backlash from fans for its portrayal of the singer’s controversial trial, resulting in a record low audience score of 6%. This stands in stark contrast to the 97% audience score of the film Michael. The passion of Michael Jackson’s fans is undeniable, influencing the rankings on the streaming platform.
A notable addition to the list is the show Shrill, which has secured the fifth spot. Although not a Netflix original, this USA show has garnered praise with an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid 7.4/10 on IMDB. With three seasons under its belt, Shrill continues to perform well and gain popularity among viewers.
Interestingly, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, despite initially making it to the top 10, quickly dropped off the list after its debut. However, the joint production between the BBC and Netflix has been renewed for a third and final season, allowing the series to conclude on its own terms.
The Boroughs, holding onto the tenth spot for over three weeks, has yet to receive a renewal for a second season. While it is not marketed as a miniseries, the show’s success may influence Netflix’s decision on its future. As viewers continue to engage with these diverse offerings, the streaming platform remains a hub for captivating entertainment.
