A Must-See Thriller Is the #2 Show on Netflix, But I Can’t Believe What’s Sitting at #1

Whenever I’m at a streaming crossroads, I always turn to Netflix’s top-rated lists. The charts rank the most-watched shows and movies in real-time, and since it’s updated on a daily basis, it’s always changing and presenting new streaming options. So far, I have never questioned the list’s accuracy—that is, until I saw the latest ranking. 

Currently, Raw is ranked number one on Netflix’s list of most-watched shows. The series is a live version of WWE Raw, meaning it drops a real-time wrestling broadcast every single week. Raw has become so popular, it’s ranked above other noteworthy titles like The Night Agent (#2) and American Primeval (#3).

I understand that some people enjoy watching wrestling. (We listen and we don’t judge.) But I didn’t realize it’s capable of outperforming a wildly popular show like The Night Agent, which just released its second season after a two-year hiatus. 

In The Night Agent, Gabriel Basso stars as a low-level FBI agent who answers a life-changing phone call while monitoring an emergency line. Season one documents his mission to uncover a dangerous conspiracy at the White House, and the second season explores his new role as an official Night Agent.
