A new thriller has been able to hold the spot on Netflix’s most watched list and brought in an impressive 14 million views.
When it comes to Netflix, occasionally it can feel like there is nothing to watch, nothing that keeps your attention or is even worth your time, that doesn’t seem to be the case this week.
While most people are expecting the fifth season of Stranger Things to dominate viewing figures, it hasn’t managed to just yet, coming to the streaming platform a touch too late on November 26.
While it is likely the hit TV show will take one of the top spots next week, it is easy to see why many of these shows are resonating and bringing in a ridiculous amount of viewers.
