Netflix is Bridgerton booked right now. If you are opening the app this week, hoping to browse a bit and land on something light, just know that your “For You” page is going to ambush you with one name on repeat: Bridgerton.

And it’s not just the new season. All of it. Season four is at the top, obviously, but you shouldn’t be surprised when we say that it also brought back season three and even season one into the chart. So basically, it is not just a release; it is a revival. Everyone is either catching up or rewatching, and it seems like only a normal reaction to a show this brilliant.

But right under all the corsets and yearning looks is a show that took everyone by surprise. HIS & HERS, a limited series with a sharp edge, is number two in the chart. For the last three weeks, this show was donning the first position in the chart and only backed a little because of Bridgerton’s release. People are already picking sides online and making edits, which is always a sign of a show that is about to be there in the list FOR A WHILE.

Then there is Finding Her Edge, which is Netflix’s attempt to cash in on the skating comeback wave, and, well, it worked. The show blends athletic pressure with that high-stakes teen drama mood (which we all secretly want). Every episode has at least one moment that grabs your attention because someone says something way too real, or because the competition suddenly stops being about the routine and becomes a vicious personal vendetta.

Now Skyscraper Live is where things shift. This one is for the crowd that wants adrenaline. The only question anyone is allowed to have while watching it is “Why? Why would you do that?” It is a live-event-style series where American rock climber Alex Honnold climbed Taipei 101 without any safety harness, and the streaming numbers spiked purely because people could not look away. Nobody expected it to chart so fast, but here we are.

And then Mike Epps: Delusional comes into the chart with zero concern for genre or mood. It is a comedy special, yes, but it also has that rough, on-the-edge feel where you are laughing and slightly worried at the same time. He says things people would not dare tweet, and it seems like that’s the tone that viewers really want.

Speaking of things that came out of nowhere, Free Bert turned out to be the underdog of the week. It had zero buzz before release, but once people started watching, the reactions flipped. The show has been in the charts for a while and is consistently sitting in the middle.

And right when you think the list is done zigzagging across genres, Netflix pulls out Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials, because apparently, we are back to loving murders in vintage coats. This one was topping the charts a while ago, but has calmed down a lot. Thank god for it being a limited series, and that might also be a huge reason for it still running in the race.

But hey, it would not be Netflix if Stranger Things did not show up. It’s been more than a month since the season finale was released, but people are still catching up on it, proving once again that nothing competes with Hawkins. That, and the fact that people keep rewatching from the start, which is probably why Bridgerton: Season 1 is here too. It is a full loop, and we’re stuck.
