This week (September 4th), several newcomers made it into the top ten list of Netflix’s most popular shows, including Worst Ex Ever, which took the number one spot.

The true crime series arrived on the streaming service last week on August 28th and focuses on stories of violent partners through testimonials and reenactments. The show has amassed over eight million views in its first week of streaming.

After two weeks in the top spot, the fourth season of Lily Collins’ comedy-drama series Emily in Paris drops down to second place. The latest batch of episodes arrived on the streaming service three weeks ago with a new feature that allows fans to scan Emily’s outfits and find similar items. The new series is still amassing millions of viewing hours each week.

Another crime documentary series, American Murder: Laci Peterson, also secures its third week in the top ten, with just over four million views. It’s closely followed by KAOS, a new fantasy series created by Charlie Covell, who also worked on The End of the F***ing World. The show focuses on mythological Gods, with Jeff Goldblum starring as Zeus.

Adam Sandler’s new comedy special, Adam Sandler: Love You, takes the fifth spot in the list, amassing just over two million views in its first week. The special was directed by A24 favourite Josh Safdie, one of the Safdie brothers, who previously worked with Sandler on Uncut Gems. It sits just ahead of the kids animation series Mermaid Magic, which was also viewed over two million times this week.

The latter half of the list features some more familiar titles that have appeared on the list for several weeks. The first season of docu-drama series Wyatt Earp and The Cowboy War and thriller show Dark Winds both earn their second week in the top ten.

Meanwhile, the first UK-based instalment of Love Is Blind and the fourth season of The Umbrella Academy both find their way into the list for the fourth week running.
