The Top 10 list on Netflix is often a combination of many things. Sometimes it is a snapshot of global taste, or a popularity contest, and occasionally, a complete surprise. Similarly, this week’s rankings offer a mix of true crime obsession, returning favourites, and a couple of curveballs that nobody saw coming. While some titles continue their reign, others have clawed their way back into the list or made a strong debut. And then, there is Ms. Rachel, proving that toddlers have as much say in streaming success as anyone else.

Leading the pack for a second week straight is Untamed, a drama that has quickly become more than just a hit. Viewers are not just watching it, they are linking it, analysing it, and trying to unpack its every moment. It is the kind of show that creates a ripple across social media and sticks around long after the credits roll.

Hot on its heels is Amy Bradley Is Missing, a chilling documentary that has struck a nerve with audiences. The true story of a young woman who vanished without a trace has made viewers uneasy, obsessed, and in many cases, both. Its rise to the second spot is a clear indication of Netflix’s continued grip on the true crime genre.

The Hunting Wives follows at number three, another new entry that has quickly climbed the ranks. The show is a perfect blend of mystery, glamour, and suburban secrets. Hence, it has generated a steady buzz and a growing fan base. It might not be the flashiest title on the list, but it is certainly one of the most talked-about.

Just below it is The Sandman, which has dropped one spot this week but remains a top contender. The fantasy series continues to hold its audience, even in its second season. While it is no longer dominating, its loyal viewership ensures it remains firmly in the top five.

At number five, Raw: 2025 continues its quiet domination. Released earlier this month, the show might not be topping charts, but it has not budged from the top ten either. It is a consistent performer which is quietly pulling in viewers week after week.

One of the more unexpected entries is Ms. Rachel at number six. This makes a strong appearance thanks to the youngest segment of Netflix’s audience. Loved by parents and adored by toddlers. The show’s inclusion is proof that Netflix’s preschool content is more powerful than ever.

Critical: Between Life and Death is this week’s newest release and has already broken into the list at number seven. With its gripping hospital drama and life-or-death stakes, the show has started strong and is likely to climb further in the coming days.

Sirens returns to the chart in what feels like a second wave of interest. Once a top contender, it had briefly disappeared from the list, but now, it is back, proving that a well-timed second wind can change everything.

Another recent release, Building the Band, sits at number nine. The show, which dropped on July 9, follows the drama, competition, and raw emotion of musicians trying to form the next big act. It taps into the classic appeal of music reality, but with a polished Netflix twist.

And finally, 7 Bears rounds out the list at number ten. The limited series has dropped from its fourth-place spot last week, but it is still holding on, even if just barely. Whether it bounces back or slips away will depend on how the audience responds this week.
