‘3 Body Problem’, the sci-fi series from David Benioff, D. B. Weiss and Alexander Woo, claimed the top spot on the English TV list with 15.6 million views and was the most-watched title last week on Netflix.
The show was also the most talked about, thanks to a worldwide ‘You Are Bugs’ takeover, and that buzzed about scene in episode 5, Netflix said in a statement on April 3.

It was a crime wave in the third and fourth spots with ‘The Gentlemen’, Guy Ritchie’s aristocratic gangster series, clocking 7.8 million views and docuseries ‘Homicide: New York’, racking up 4.7 million views. Animated kids series had a strong showing on the list, with Season 9 of ‘Gabby’s Dollhouse’ claiming sixth place (2.3 million views), ‘Bad Dinosaurs’ taking seventh spot (2 million views), and ‘Hot Wheels Let’s Race’ skidding into ninth place (1.9 million views).
