10. Ms. Rachel: Season 1 - 2,200,000 views

Every young kid's favourite is back in the top 10 this week. Rugrats love her, she's the ex-teacher with a real knack for entertaining the little 'uns, it's Ms. Rachel. The first season of her debut Netflix show has proven a smash after she made the successful transition from YouTube. It's not just fun, though. It's educational too. Her approach combines music and speech therapy techniques, making learning accessible and fun (Picture: Ms Rachel/Instagram)

9. Weak Hero: Class 2 - 2,400,000 views

This sophomore run of the hit high school-set show continues to build a fanbase beyond its native South Korea. An action-drama based on a popular webtoon, it follows a group of schoolkids who grow tired of being bullied at school and decide to fight back. Park Ji-Hoon reprises his eponymous role in a series that the The Telegraph called 'the best K-drama around' that 'stands out with its striking realism. It does not show a redeeming avenger but rather, flawed characters who often get caught up in the very cycle they are trying to break' (Picture: Netflix)

8. Ransom Canyon: Season 1 - 2,500,000 views

Various TV networks and streamers across the world have tried to cash in on the success of Yellowstone, the resurgence of country music and a certain type of Americana. Few have succeeded. While critics haven't been overly kind about this romantic western starring Josh Duhamel and Minka Kelly, viewers seem to be enjoying it. Literary fans will notice that the series is based on the series of novel by Jodi Thomas. Screen legend, and father of Josh, James Brolin co-stars (Picture: Netflix)

7. Raw: 2025 - May 5 - 2,800,000 views

When Netflix signed up WWE Raw, it set tongues wagging in the world of wrestling. It was a calculated risk for the streaming giants, though. They'd done their research and knew it would very likely turn out to be quite the coup for them. And they've been proven right. Raw often features in the top 10 of their most-watched TV shows every week. And here it is again (Picture: WWE/Getty)

6. The Royals: Season 1 - 3,000,000 views

The Royals is a fun Hindi rom-com starring Bhumi Pednekar, Ishaan Khatter and Sakshi Tanwar. A skint prince teams up with a sharp, no-nonsense CEO to turn his crumbling palace into a luxury hotel. Sparks fly between the pair. Obviously. It'd be a pretty lousy rom-com if they didn't. Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, the series comes from creators Rangita and Ishita Pritish Nandy, with a script by writer Neha Veena Sharma. Viewers dig The Royals' romance, clashing egos and quite outstanding wardrobes (Picture: Netflix)

5. FOREVER: Season 1 - 3,700,000 views

Judy Blume is responsible for some of the most-read children's books ever written. Here, her classic 1975 novel Forever gets the small screen treatment thanks to showrunner Mara Brock Akil. A story of first loves, it stars Lovie Simone and Michael Cooper Jr. in the leads. It's proving a hit with critics, as well as audiences. Kristen Baldwin of Entertainment Weekly said: 'While it encompasses all the butterflies and betrayals of first love, Forever also tells a deeper story about the challenges and heartache of raising exceptional black kids in our fraught modern era' (Picture: Netflix)

4. Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight - 4,300,000 views

While it's very likely that you may have heard of them, Asterix and Obelix aren't a huge deal in the English-speaking world. We're aware of them, sure. Because of their comic strips, TV shows and big-screen adventures. But it's hard to appreciate just how massive this duo of Gallic warriors are in France and French-speaking countries. Their hilarious antics while repelling the Romans in their native nation have entertained generations of kids and adults alike. And this latest five-part 3D animated miniseries may just have earned a new raft of fans (Picture: Netflix)

3. You: Season 5 - 5,400,000 views

You has been something of a phenomenon for Netflix. The tale of the obsessed stalker Joe Goldberg and the various women he's targeted with his sociopathic attention has proven immensely popular. The writing's good, sure. But it's the performance of Penn Badgley that really makes it. It's not easy playing a really rather disturbing creep that veers so close to being likeable. In this last run, Joe returns to New York City, where there are surprises in wait for a number of people, not least of all those of us watching the thing (Picture: Netflix)

2. The Eternaut: Season 1 - 9,600,000 views

When you think of where high quality science-fiction comes from, you don't often consider Argentina. Well, now we might have to. After a catastrophic snowstorm kills millions, John Salvo joins a desperate fight for survival against a mysterious alien force controlled by something unseen. 'El Eternauta' is a six-part series that's a chilling blend of sci-fi and survival horror. Ricardo Darín, Carla Peterson, César Troncoso and Andrea Pietra star (Picture: Reuters)

1. The Four Seasons: Season 1 - 12,500,000 views

Taking top spot for the second week in a row... Netflix's most globally popular TV show is The Four Seasons. Reimagining the 1981 Alan Alda movie, this series explores the evolving dynamics of three couples who regularly vacation together. With a cast led by Tina Fey, Steve Carell and Colman Domingo, it's proving a big hit both with people at home and professional reviewers. The Guardian's Lucy Mangan gave a rating of 4/5, saying: 'Tina Fey and her writing and acting ensembles on fine form, [with] everything informed by her rigorous intelligence, wit and experience. Rest your aching bones and enjoy' (Picture: Netflix)
