Netflix has published its weekly Top 10 figures for November 2 to 8, and the numbers tell a clear story: true crime leads, Christmas is early, and one big return is fading fast. Taken: Natalee Holloway debuted at number one on the English-language television chart with 12.9 million views, while A Dog’s Perfect Christmas topped the English film chart with 8.6 million views.
The Natalee Holloway docuseries took 25.4 million hours viewed in its first week, according to Netflix’s official figures, carried by What’s On Netflix. The One About Matthew Perry, the documentary about the late Friends star, fell to second place with 4.4 million views, down 53.79 percent from its opening week. Nobody Wants This season three finished third with 4 million views.
Black Doves falls sharply
Black Doves season two debuted in fourth place with 3.8 million views, but the headline is the fall: the show is down 65 percent, according to the What’s On Netflix rundown. The drop is one of the sharpest for a returning series in recent weeks, and it suggests the second season has not held the audience that made the first a hit.
On the film side, A Dog’s Perfect Christmas topped the chart but had the weakest opening of any Netflix Wednesday Christmas movie since 2024, according to the same rundown. Heist debuted in second place with 6.3 million views, Final Destination: Bloodlines followed with 5.8 million, The Day After Tomorrow took fourth with 4.4 million, and Sing 2 rounded out the top five with 4.3 million views.
The international charts
The non-English charts had bigger numbers than anything on the English film chart. Collision Course, a Spanish action thriller, topped the non-English movie rankings with 17.2 million views, while the Korean horror series Dead-End Job finished first among non-English shows with 8.7 million views. KPop Demon Hunters finished tenth on the English film chart with 2.8 million views, its 69th week in the Top 10.
The weekly figures confirm that Netflix’s audience is splitting between true crime, Christmas films and international hits. Taken’s 12.9 million views is the biggest television debut of the week by a wide margin, and the film chart’s Christmas tilt shows viewers are already in festive mode in early November.
