It’s no secret that Netflix has been this summer’s most productive companion. With social estrangement orders in place, many of us have been Netflix and are afraid to pass the time. But what exactly have we looked at? Has my RuPaul dragster racing marathon been a global trend, or am I the only one shouting “sashay away!” on TV every single night? Now we have an official answer.
This week, Forbes released Netflix’s 10 most popular screens in July, and the list is a glorious disaster. Turns out we’re an eclectic group; the systems we’ve seen this summer are vast and varied. Some of us have accepted the suspicion of escape. A series of trips with a shirtless Zac Efron? Of course, he made the cut. Others, on the other hand, have discovered joy in the demonstrations that strain us even more. This scary documentary through Jeffrey Epstein? You’re not the only one who can’t look away.
I’m more interested in why we saw those shows. In those same times, there are reasons for our choices. So please share me while I investigate them (in a completely unnoticed way).
Below are the 10 small Netflix organizations in July and what they say about us.
Personally, I haven’t seen this documentary about genuine crimes, but it explores how five families controlled New York in the 1970s and 1980s before being dismantled through federal agents. She’s essentially a real soprano, so of course she was a success. I also bet that all New Yorkers who fled the city because of the pandemic are on the hunt to return home; This screen gives a little story about the beloved Big Apple.
I must say, this is an unexpected display to have classified. I don’t know any single user who’s ever said to me, “I’m just watching Floor Is Lava, hbu?” It’s a game screen where, yes, the competition takes a look to maneuver a room with booby traps where they can’t touch the ground. I think this can be thought of simply as a watch to blame pleasure.
This Mexican thriller follows a married woman who “spends a fateful weekend away from home that ignites passion, ends in tragedy, and leads her to question the truth about those close to her.” Intrigued? Apparently many others were too. It’s been called an extremely horny show, so whoever is streaming this—I see you. It also seems to have a bit of a You vibe. I’m intrigued. Adding this to my watch list.
I’m surprised he’s not at the top of the list. Everyone I know has seen this documentary about Jeffrey Epstein’s horrific sex-trafficking crimes. We also learned more about his ex-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, who lately is awaiting trial for his alleged role as a couple who requests underage women for him. Since this is an appropriate matter that is taking a position at the moment, the interest in this is not a surprise.
Playing with nostalgia is a guaranteed success, so it’s no wonder that other people have accumulated for the fashion reset of Ann M. Martin’s beloved novel series. In those difficult and troubling times, looking for anything that sounds familiar is comforting. It’s light, a laugh and the best distraction during those dark times.
This one is intended for sports lovers. With many games temporarily suspended at the start of the pandemic, although the NBA and NHL are back in business (without an IRL audience), sports enthusiasts were hungry for content. This documentary about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls was a godsend. He made his deyet in April, but it was a good fortune during the summer. If you can’t watch live sports, watch the story behind them!
The witches have entered the cat. This series stars Katherine Langford as a young rebel witch named Nimue, who joins a “lovely mercenary” to save her people. Okay, she’s not exactly a witch, but she can plant life, which would be wonderful for someone like me who kills everything that lives in my house. We all love a little sci-fi fantasy, and this is an apparent case of escapism here.
I’m addicted to the name alone. The plot: A young woman “wakes up in a morgue with unexplained powers and finds herself caught in a war between intelligent and evil.” The exhibition is based on a character and, apparently, the choreography is done expertly. Its popularity makes sense: without the summer box office hits typical of your local cinema, we are hungry for old and smart action content.
Thirsty demons! Of course, a series of trips with a shirtless Zac Efron, who travels the world in search of healthy and sustainable lifestyles, was among the most sensible classified. It’s the best combination of TV systems not to be missed: there are celebrity eyes, useful information, dramas and lovely places. It’s essentially the best screen for those who have a serious preference for traveling: we may not be able to travel around the world right now, but we can see a screen that does. What’s more, Zac Efron.
And the most viewed screen will be … a series that is stressful and disturbing. Why are we doing this? Isn’t life stressful enough right now? It is a reboot of the popular American television series that explores unsolved murders, disappearances and supernatural occasions through interviews and recreations. I still have nightmares about the alien abduction episode myself. The series is a desirable watch and the best screen before bedtime; if you don’t need to sleep because your brain gets carried away, that’s fine. Still, I’m not surprised by this top-notch choice. We still can’t be fascinated by the unknown. It’s human nature.
