Netflix Top 10: Tom Brady Roast Debuts at No. 6 With 2 Million Views
“The Roast of Tom Brady” debuted with a bang on the Netflix Top 10.
Despite not premiering until the evening of May 5, when it aired live on Netflix, it was the streamer’s sixth-most-watched English-language TV title of the April 29-May 5 viewing window. In its first few hours of availability, the roast hit 2 million views. And it wasn’t the only live event from Netflix Is a Joke fest to make the chart this week. Katt Williams’ stand-up special “Woke Foke” actually outperformed it as the No. 4 title with 4 million views — though it had the benefit of longer availability, having aired on May 4.

The Jerry Seinfeld-directed movie “Unfrosted” debuted on top of the English-language film chart, but with 7.1 million views in its first weekend, this marks the lowest viewership for a No. 1 film since Netflix began ranking by views in June of 2023.
Back on the TV side, “Baby Reindeer” continued its hot streak, enjoying a fourth week on the chart and a third in the No. 1 position, this time notching 18.6 million views.
“A Man in Full,” the limited series from David. E Kelley starring Jeff Daniels and Diane Lane, debuted at No. 2 with 6.3 million views in its first four days on Netflix. It was followed by “Dead Boy Detectives,” which reached 4.7 million views in its first full week of availability, up from 3.1 million views in its debut weekend.
At No. 5, in between the Williams and Brady specials, was Season 3 of “Selling the O.C.,” which debuted with 2.2 million views in its first three days of availability.
The bottom TV spots all went to repeat titles: “The Gentlemen” had its ninth week on the chart at No. 7 with 1.8 million views, while “CoComelon Lane” Season 2 took eighth place with 1.6 million after debuting with 2.3 million views the week before. Next was “3 Body Problem” with 1.5 million views in its seventh week on the chart, then “Unlocked: A Jail Experiment” with 1.2 million views after four weeks.
