What does a wrongfully convicted felon trying to escape prison with his brother have in common with a marketing executive who has relocated to Paris to experience the love capital of the world? Absolutely nothing — and that’s the beauty of this week’s rundown of popular Netflix shows.

This week’s list continues to highlight just how diverse the streamer’s offerings are; whether you’re into high-stakes drama or lighthearted romance, there’s always something for everyone on the world’s most popular streaming service.

Clutching on to the coveted top spot for the second week running, The Perfect Couple has amassed a staggering 111 million viewing hours since its arrival and over 21 million views, an excessive increase on the show coming in at second place, Emily In Paris.

Following a successful first instalment of season four, Emily In Paris has returned with the next collection of episodes, which will surely give viewers more clarity in the endless “Team Gabriel or Team Alfie” debate. Or, in true Darren Star fashion, it will just leave you confused and eager to learn more about what’s in store for our beloved Emily Cooper.

Prison Break still might be a relatively new contender, but the first, second, and third seasons take up ample space in this week’s running, proving that Wentworth Miller’s dewy-eyed Michael Scofield still claims the hearts of many, even if the show’s quality declines somewhat after the season one finale.

Although KAOS seems to have dropped from third place to fifth, its numbers are still climbing, with a current total of three million views and 22 million viewing hours. Meanwhile, reality television seems to be having a notable resurgence with the divisive Outlast, and the Worst Ex Ever reinstates Netflix’s domination in the true crime realm with its persistent presence in the top ten.

A new contender is Hot Wheels Let’s Race, the American animated children’s television series based on the Hot Wheels toys manufactured by Mattel. Taking the popular trope of kids’ toys with harmlessly competitive qualities, Let’s Race follows “six young hopefuls” learning the tricks of the trade to become the next generation of great racers.

However, as is clear from today’s rundown, nothing is as gripping as the current forerunner, The Perfect Couple. With its star-studded cast and classically charming ‘whodunnit’ premise, this might be the perfect choice for a quiet Autumn evening in.
