Even reboots of old ‘80s properties.Īnd that’s just a few of the things I learned when I really sat down and checked out the Netflix Top 10.Hate that empty feeling of guilt setting in after a long Netflix binge? We’ve all been there. But I also suspect it’s because it’s something new to watch, and people just want new stuff to watch. Yes, Kevin Smith’s name attached to it probably has something to do with that. And yet, Kevin Smith’s He-Man is currently in the Top 10. That said, He-Man is a pretty ancient property from the ‘80s, and other networks have tried to bring back franchises like Thundercats, and even TMNT, with the most recent iteration, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to middling success. He-Man definitely has its audience, just like Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I just find this interesting though, and I chalk it up to the fact that it’s a brand-new show and people want to check it out. Granted, by the time you read this, it might be off the Top 10 altogether, but the fact is, it’s here now and people are watching it. Case in point, the new Masters of the Universe: Revelation, which is currently sitting at number 9. Netflix watchers will check out pretty much anything if it’s new. Overall, Netflix Viewers Just Like New Programming In GeneralĪnd here’s probably what’s the most interesting find to me when I actually sat down at paid attention to the Top 10. It almost seems like Netflix is the place where new shows go to die and where dead shows come to live. One of the earliest examples of this was when Arrested Development found new life on Netflix after it was cancelled on Fox. Mostly because Netflix can prove to be a place where dead shows can be revived again if the interest is there.
Series like the not-too-long-ago concluded 13 Reasons Why and The Witcher always skyrocket to the Top 10 list when they first come out.īut what I find even more interesting is when shows on other networks, like the recently cancelled Manifest leap into the Top 10.
What this says to me is that the streaming service made the right call to expand their Netflix original TV shows. Now, and this is not always the case, but it’s interesting to note that two of those shows- Never Have I Ever, and Virgin River-are Netflix original series. Viewers Really Enjoy Netflix's TV Series And Network Shows When They Hit NetflixĪs of right now, three shows are in the Top 10- Virgin River, Manifest, and Never Have I Ever.
