Netflix Top 10
It was a relatively slow week for genre shows in the Digital Ratings, especially for the Netflix Top 10. Only two sci fi/fantasy shows placed in the rankings for English Language shows for the week of January 24th to 30th with highly-watched The Witcher dropping out after several weeks. The horror series Archive 81 continued to draw strong viewership as it placed at Number 3 with 36 million hours watched, and it could be headed to a second season (though with Netflix that is never gauranteed). The only other entry was the encore run of Riverdale Season 5 which crept into the rankings at the Number 10 slot. In the Top 10 for Non-English Language shows, the Korean zombie series All of Us Are Dead premiered at Number 1 with 125 million hours of viewing. That one could be on track for a second season renewal. Following are all the sci fi and fantasy TV shows on the Netflix charts for the week (the number in parenthesis is the prior week rank):
