Netflix Top 10:
Netflix’s new supernatural drama Lockwood & Co topped the chart for English language shows for the week of January 30th to February 5th. That was the show’s second week of release and it pulled in 39 million hours of viewing. But that is not enough to assure it a second season yet (even though it hit Number 1 with almost no promotion) and we will have to see how it tracks in the coming weeks. Over in the Non-English Language charts, the second season of the Anime Record of Ragnarok improved to Number 4 with 29 million hours viewed. 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):

Nielsen Streaming Top 10
The Nielsen Streaming Rankings were actually on time this week, but they don’t have much to report.

Both Velma (HBO Max) and Servant Season 4 (Apple TV+) had their premieres that week but did not make it into the Top 10 originals. In the chart for acquired shows, The Walking Dead improved to Number 1 two weeks after the final season became available on Netflix.
