The fourth season of “Love is Blind” also moved to No. 4 on the list. Following its live reunion blunder, the season picked up another 39.48 million hours viewed. After announcing Netflix’s second-ever live special, the streamer faced issues delivering and the episode became available on the following Monday instead of its intended Sunday, April 16 air date.
“Beef” slid into the No. 3 spot this week, raking in 42.81 million hours viewed in its second complete week of availability — that’s a significant drop from the previous week’s 70.38 million hours viewed.
Season 6 of “Better Call Saul” made the chart this week, landing in seventh place after being added to the streaming service on April 18. In its first six days of availability, the new installment (which first aired August 2022 on AMC) was viewed for 14.79 million viewing hours. It leads just ahead of “How to Get Rich,” which earned 14.58 million hours viewed.
It’s worth noting that “Wednesday” continues to remain on the Netflix Top 10, taking the 10th place on this week’s rankings. In its 20th week of availability, the show earned 9.5 million hours viewed.
Also returning on the list is “Florida Man,” “Obsession,” “American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombing,” with 29.5 million, 27.12 million and 13.19 million hours viewed, respectively.
