Ryan Murphy’s Lizzie Borden season debuts in the top 10, while a new underdog sports title starts slowly
Sept. 19, 2026. Two Netflix Originals led this week’s viewing charts on Netflix US: Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Again? in movies and the drama Crew Girl in series. Both scored 75 points in the ranking used by the site What’s on Netflix. The service added 34 titles over the past seven days, 17 movies and 17 series.
Movies: Perry’s sequel takes over
Why Did I Get Married Again? moved past the competition to claim first place. Angelina Jolie’s thriller Those Who Wish Me Dead held second with 59 points. Animated favorite Puss in Boots: The Last Wish climbed to third with 53, apparently helped by younger viewers. The Whisper Man (50) and the new arrival The Seemingly Perfect Family (39) rounded out the top five.
Among this week’s additions, Guy Ritchie’s World War II action-comedy The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) tied for ninth with 26 points. It stars Henry Cavill, Alan Ritchson and Eiza González as members of a covert unit formed at Winston Churchill’s direction. The Netflix Original Best of the Best debuted at 13th with just 6 points, though the site expects word of mouth to lift it over the weekend.
Series: A new No. 1, and a strong debut for Monster
Crew Girl took first place in series with 75 points, displacing the true-crime hit Death of the Pastor’s Wife. That show tied with the Dutch thriller The Perfect Lie for second at 57 points, a big jump for the latter as viewers binged it. The Gentlemen placed fourth with 44.
Comedian Jo Koy’s new special Blue in the Face landed fifth on the series chart with 34 points. The most notable premiere was Monster: The Lizzie Borden Story, the latest installment of Ryan Murphy’s true-crime anthology. It set the 1890s axe murders of Andrew and Abby Borden against the media frenzy around their daughter Lizzie. It entered the top 10 with 20 points, and the site noted that the show favors shock value over historical accuracy.
