The 10 most popular series on Netflix this week: August 2024

There are many things to be deduced from the current forerunners on Netflix, not just the dominance of action but the platform’s ongoing dedication to diverse content, showcasing a mix of nostalgic favourites, thrilling new series, and gripping documentaries.

With a fresh batch of Cobra Kai episodes for part one of the sixth and final season, the martial arts drama continues to pack a punch, remaining in pride of place in the coveted top spot with 30,300,000 viewing hours.

Until now, none of the previous series had returned to the top ten, which is a common occurrence when a popular show returns to the platform. However, coming in at ninth is the show’s first season, with viewers revisiting where it all began, refreshing their memories of the initial sparks that reignited the old feud between Johnny and Daniel.

In second place, Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam dives into the dark side of the boy band phenomenon, exploring the rise and fall of iconic bands while unveiling the manipulation and deceit behind the scenes. It’s a must-watch for music enthusiasts and anyone interested in the inner workings of the entertainment industry.

Too Hot To Handle enjoys its second week in the top ten, a similar case for Simone Biles Rising, with Supacell enjoying its fifth week. Despite still being a relatively new addition to the platform’s offerings, Supacell continues to thrive after attracting over 18million viewers in its first few weeks.

As expected, the third season of Bridgerton continues to enchant viewers with its opulent setting, intricate social dynamics, and steamy romance, while Homicide: Los Angeles proves that Netflix remains a consistent leader in true crime.

If there were a perfect time to question Netflix’s continuous eclectic range of thought-provoking and entertaining titles, it wouldn’t be now, as they continue to deliver acrobatic warriors, true crime stories, in-depth reviews of the entertainment industry, unsolved mysteries, superpowered Londoners, self-imposed chastity challenges, and timeless period dramas.
