So, what’s the most popular Netflix show in the US this week? The answer’s obvious, isn’t it?

Of course, it’s Stranger Things 5. The finale came, and the tears came with it, and now half the country’s back on the rewatch train. But here is the real plot twist: every season of Stranger Things is in the Top 10. All of them. Seasons one to five.

But here is where it gets interesting. Sandwiched between Vecna and the gang, there is a limited series holding its ground. Run Away landed straight into second place, and if you have seen even ten minutes of it, you know why. It is dark, and it grips you so hard you forget your snacks are burning in the kitchen. This show did not have a hype campaign or viral memes. Just a tight thriller that does its job and walks away.

In between the rewatch loops and emotional breakdowns, comedy is staging its own mini-uprising. Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable… is still hanging on in the Top 10, and Ricky Gervais: Mortality isn’t far behind. Say what you want about timing, but apparently, Netflix knows that after trauma comes laughter. And it’s working. Both specials are raw and exactly what people seem to be craving when they are not screaming about Upside Down theories.

And yes, Emily in Paris is here too because you can’t go a week without Emily trying to pave her way onto the list. Season five is out, and guess what? She’s moved to Rome. The outfits are louder than ever, and this time we have Marcello, who might get his heart broken.

Somewhere in the mix is Raw: 2025 – December 29, WWE’s live-action madness that has, without any miss, made it to the list every week an episode has aired.

And finally, buried under all the big names is Man Vs Baby. The title alone sounds like a joke, but if you have ever tried to parent while functioning on zero sleep, this one will hit hard. It is awkward yet weirdly comforting. You might even cry. Or laugh. Or both. Honestly, no one knows anymore.

So yeah, it’s a wild mix this week, and all of them are jostling for attention in your ‘Top Picks’ section.
