Mickey Haller’s brief sojourn in the hospital is now a thing of the past. With a triumphant return, he’s now the reigning monarch of Netflix’s Top 10 charts. Premiered on August 3, the latter half of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 saw ardent fans rallying behind the attorney and his signature Lincoln Navigator. The impact? The Witcher Season 3 was dethroned. Right on its tail was another much-awaited premiere that dropped on the same day – Heartstopper Season 2, securing a commendable second position.
This isn’t the debut of The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2’s supremacy over Netflix’s heavyweights. While Henry Cavill’s portrayal of Geralt of Rivia initially overshadowed it, it wasn’t long before Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s Mickey took the small screen by storm. Following a nail-biting mid-season cliffhanger, it was practically written in the stars: fans would flood back in eagerness to unravel Mickey’s fate along with the climax of his most challenging case to date. The result? An additional 6.7 million eyes, pushing the season’s viewership to an astounding 23.3 million.
Parallelly, Heartstopper Season 2 dazzled right out the gate. The series, fronted by Joe Locke and Kit Connor, raked in an impressive 6.1 million views. Clearly, fans were pining for Charlie and Nick’s return. Celebrating young love and growth, the show continues to receive effusive praise, now journeying with its iconic couple to the enchanting lanes of Paris.
Film Chart Update: “Hidden Strike” Stands Firm
Beyond the dominion of TV shows, the film arena of Netflix is witnessing its own tales of victory. Hidden Strike, the adrenaline-pumping venture starring Jackie Chan and John Cena, remains unchallenged at the zenith. Clocking in a whopping 23.6 million views, their perilous mission across Baghdad’s notorious “Highway of Death” continues to capture imaginations. None, whether English titles or international offerings, come close. Hot on its heels, Happiness for Beginners and Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir, The Movie marked their presence with 13.1 million and 12.5 million views respectively. Also making waves in the film roster are the documentaries Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food and Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child, with other titles like Missing: The Lucie Blackman Case and They Cloned Tyrone clinching notable spots.
In Conclusion
The television and film landscape on Netflix is brimming with dynamic content. The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 and Heartstopper Season 2 are tangible proofs, both now available for streaming. As viewers, the plethora of options is an embarrassment of riches, promising countless hours of unparalleled entertainment.
