- The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare debuted atop Netflix's English-language TV rankings with 18.2M views over its first five days (July 27-August 2), with no other TV title coming close to that tally.
- Ransom Canyon Season 2 drew 5.5M views for a No. 2 finish on English TV — described as a 'slight bump' from its premiere week but 'lower than expected' given it was the first full week of viewership.
- Harlan Coben's I Will Find You added 4.8M views to land at No. 4 for the week, climbing to ninth on Netflix's all-time most-popular list with 106.7M views across seven weeks.
- The Bombing of Pan Am 103 entered the English TV rankings at No. 3 with 5M views.
- Kevin Hart's 72 Hours was the week's most-viewed title overall with 25.1M views, topping the English film list in its second week.
- A Toxic Love Story took No. 2 on the English film list with 12.9M views, reinforcing true crime's continued grip on Netflix's audience.
Why it matters: True crime remains Netflix's most reliable genre: the Idaho Murders doc drew 18.2M views in five days while A Toxic Love Story simultaneously took No. 2 in English film. The 5.5M-view 'lower than expected' showing for Ransom Canyon Season 2, despite a returning Season 1, signals the romance-western faces harder competition for streaming attention than its first run suggested.
