Lady Whistledown is still undefeated. The fourth season of Bridgerton, released in two parts across January and February, pulled in a staggering 100 million views.

Netflix's biggest K-drama of the year. Teach You a Lesson, a South Korean action school drama that premiered June 5, racked up 48 million views. The show's intense storyline about a mysterious teacher confronting a corrupt school system resonated globally.

#7 One Piece Season 2 — 47 Million Views

The Straw Hat Pirates returned March 10 with Season 2, and 47 million views later, Netflix has already renewed One Piece for Season 3. Iñaki Godoy's Luffy continues to be the live-action miracle nobody saw coming.

#8 Man on Fire Season 1 — 40 Million Views

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II leads this adaptation of the 2004 Denzel Washington film. Debuting April 30, Man on Fire earned 40 million views, proving revenge stories still hit hard.
