<p id=”par-10_24″>At just under five hours, the docuseries won’t take up too much of your time … unless you start digging deeper into the unexplained.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-7-heartbreak-high-season-2″>7. ‘Heartbreak High’ Season 2</h2>

<p id=”par-11_29″>A high school drama isn’t exactly breaking new ground on Netflix in 2024. But there’s a reason <em>Heartbreak High </em>sits in the top 10 with over 2 million views.</p>

<p id=”par-12_35″>The Australian series features an ensemble cast of high school students and teachers dealing with romance, anger, racial tension, sex, and more. <em>Heartbreak High </em>has received international acclaim, building a strong following around the world.</p>

<p id=”par-17_37″>Don’t let the name fool you. <em>Baby Reindeer</em> isn’t a kids’ show in the Netflix top 10. The drama stars Scottish comedian and actor Richard Gadd based on his experience as a sexual assault and stalking victim.</p>

<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-3-the-gentleman-season-1″>3. ‘The Gentleman’ Season 1</h2>

<p id=”par-23_43″><em>The Gentleman </em>continues to be a mainstay in the Netflix top 10.

<p id=”par-29_26″><em>3 Body Problem </em>is the No. 1 show on Netflix right now. It’s the fourth consecutive week the sci-fi series has found itself on the list.</p>

<p id=”par-30_43″><em>Game of Thrones </em>showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss helped co-create the series, adapted from the Chinese novel of the same name by Liu Cixin. It examines the fallout from alien contact made between a scientist in the 1970s and another planet. </p>

<p id=”par-31_31″>The sci-fi drama goes heavy on the science, which should delight hardcore fans of the genre. But there’s plenty to offer for fans of historical fiction or more casual sci-fi followers. </p>

<p id=”par-32_38″>Over 35 million hours have been spent watching <em>3 Body Problem</em>. Netflix had high hopes for the series, and so far, it has delivered. All eight episodes were released on March 21 and continue to find new fans.</p>
