Netflix smash hit notches up over 15,000,000 views in a single week
Several huge TV shows have been storming the top 10 chart.
It’s been another busy week on the Netflix front as we move into February, with some returning favourites and new releases dominating the global most-watched charts once again.
Whether you’re in the mood for Squid Game, fancy a spot of live wrestling action, or have younger viewers to entertain, there really is something for all tastes in this week’s chart.
However, one show in particular has been engrossing subscribers, notching up a sensational 15million views in a single week.
Holding steady in the prime spot of the top 10 chart is the long-awaited second series of The Night Agent.
This time around, following a disastrous mission in Bangkok, FBI agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) goes AWOL to track an American agent accused of leaking secrets. Meanwhile, cybersecurity expert Rose (Luciane Buchanan), who he hasn’t spoken to in months, receives a disturbing call.
Unsurprisingly, the show’s proving as popular as ever, adding to last week’s impressive debut with a further 15.2m views over the past week, following the launch of season two on January 23.
