Netflix has once again refused to follow just one trend this week. It’s pretending to be a full holiday meal where you simply throw everything onto the table at once and trust that you will pick the dish of your choice, which is strangely honest when you think about how people actually stream right now. And though everyone is pressing play for completely different reasons, the same titles keep rising to the top anyway.

At number one, Bridgerton season four continues acting as the crown belongs to it, and at this point, arguing feels pointless because the audience has already decided this world is home. The new season will be released in two volumes, and it seems like the first one will trend on top until the second one finally gets released on February 26th. You can roll your eyes at the extravagance, yet still end up watching another episode because the show understands exactly how to keep you hooked.

Right behind it is The Lincoln Lawyer season four, another new entry in the chart. From romance to crime, Netflix viewers don’t have a pattern. Mickey Haller remains sharp without turning into a superhero caricature, and it might be trending so much also because this season, he is defending himself. This is the series people claim is background viewing until they realise they have not glanced at their phone in half an hour.

Then you have HIS & HERS because limited series always tempt viewers who want a contained story instead of an endless commitment. The tension here builds through perspective shifts and emotional imbalance, which keeps you leaning in even when nothing explosive is happening.

In the middle of prestige drama sits Is It Cake? Valentines, which seems like the most appropriate pick in the list, according to the upcoming Valentine’s season. Watching someone slice into a handbag, hoping for a sponge should not feel gripping, yet it does. No emotional labour required. No lingering weight afterwards. Just a quick amusement that resets your brain.

The return of Bridgerton season one at number five proves nostalgia remains undefeated because whenever a new season dominates conversation, viewers circle back to the beginning, either to relive the first spark or to compare how far everything has shifted. That initial run still moves quickly, still pulls you in fast, and still explains why this franchise refuses to disappear.

Raw: February 2, 2026, landing on the list highlights how event content cuts through the algorithm when timing lines up. Wrestling fans show up with loyalty that does not need convincing, like every week.

True crime resurfaces again with Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich, a reminder that dark material continues to draw attention long after release. Well, in the doc’s defence, Epstein is trending everywhere, and while Netflix is most probably working on a new doc idea, people are making sure they’re bingeing what’s there.

Meanwhile, Bridgerton season three hovering nearby confirms the franchise feeds itself endlessly, with viewers bouncing between seasons depending on mood or favourite storyline.

Rounding out the list, Sullivan’s Crossing season one is back in the charts out of nowhere and is trending at number nine, and Animal Kingdom season one at number ten reminds everyone that crime dramas rarely vanish once rediscovered.
