Okay, let’s talk about what America’s watching on Netflix right now, because this week looks like there is a personality quiz gone wrong. Let’s see, we have got a murder, marriage therapy, some magic, and Ms Rachel teaching the alphabet.

Sounds like an odd mix, right? But it is what it is. This week’s Top 10 list on Netflix US is made up of all the shows that a wide variety of viewers binged.

At number one, we have Leanne Morgan: Unspeakable Things. America needed a laugh, and Leanne understood the assignment. Her Southern storytelling and comic timing, with her jokes about midlife and marriage being spot on, made sure that it topped the chart. She doesn’t just tell jokes; she confesses things you are not supposed to say in public, and that’s exactly why people love her. It’s the relatability factor that makes it so addictive.

Then comes Nobody Wants This season two, and if you also have been in a relationship that looked better on paper than in real life, you know why it’s trending. Noah and Joanne are discovering that love is cute until life shows up. The first season was a fun watch, but the second got a bit serious. The writing this season is brutal in that honest way that makes people squirm.

Death by Lightning is where things get serious. Ranking at number three, this is a limited series about President James Garfield’s assassination that feels both historical and modern. Matthew Macfadyen plays the politician trying to hold it together, while Michael Shannon’s delusional killer has made sure she steals every scene.

And yes, The Witcher season four is still charging forward. Geralt’s back, Ciri’s running, Yennefer’s scheming, and everyone’s either fighting monsters or becoming one. While it is ranked at number four in America, you should know that it has secured a number one position in Netflix’s Top 10 global chart.

Selling Sunset season nine is totally refusing to leave the charts and is hanging tight at number five. This show is living proof that real-estate drama is our national comfort food. It’s supposed to be about luxury homes in LA, but the listings are just the backdrop. Apart from the listings, you will see all sorts of insults and friendship break-ups, which conclude the drama in the show. And no, it’s not a blunder; the show knows exactly what it is and plays into it.

Then there is the latest episode of Raw. It makes sure the wrestling fans on Netflix are well entertained. Although it is about the fights, the drama is no less than reality TV. Americans might not agree on politics, but apparently, we agree on watching grown men solve problems with entrance music.

Squid Game: The Challenge, season two, proves that the US will never get tired of watching real people crumble under pressure. While the original show might be scripted, this one is very real, with stakes too high, and people are enjoying it just as much.

Now here’s the plot twist no one expected: Ms Rachel is taking two spots. Both seasons one and two are trending at numbers eight and nine. But are we sure it is really a plot twist? Because it does not sound like that, as Ms Rachel is one show that makes sure to make it to the Top 10 Netflix US series list every single week.

Finally, The Asset, a Danish crime thriller about an undercover cadet infiltrating a drug ring, ends the list by securing the number 10 spot. The fact that it broke into the US Top 10 says a lot about how American viewers are finally embracing subtitles when the story’s good enough.
