Netflix is one of the biggest streaming platforms with many binge-worthy web shows.

The period drama Bridgerton Season 4 claimed the second spot, while a brand-new mystery series topped the chart with more than 100 million views. The final ranking is expected to change by the end of the year, as more new series are released and might perform better than this mystery series, which is currently ruling at #1 after the first six months.
