    My Life with the Walter Boys Season 2 Lassos the No. 1 Spot in Top 10

    Plus: The Thursday Murder Club and new exciting documentaries make strong debuts.

Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) may have a hard choice to make as she returns to the Walter home and its very enticing brothers. Still, viewers made their own choices clear as they catapulted My Life with the Walter Boys Season 2 to the top of the English TV list last week with 11.8 million views. Fans were all too eager to return to Silver Falls, Colorado, to find out just where things stand between Jackie, Alex (Ashby Gentry), and Cole (Noah LaLonde).

Seeking an entirely different sort of conundrum, viewers sleuthed along with The Thursday Murder Club, the latest film out of Netflix’s creative partnership with Amblin, which debuted strong at No. 2 on the English Film list with 24.7 million views. Based on the beloved book series by Richard Osman, the cozy mystery stars Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie as residents of a retirement home who meet weekly to solve cold cases for fun, and whose talents come in handy when a murder occurs on their own doorstep. 

For some real-life crime cases, viewers were drawn in by two new documentary movies. At No. 3 (8.6 million views) is Unknown Number: The High School Catfish, which details the twisted story of two teens who are harassed by an anonymous texter for more than a year, only to be shocked when they discover who’s behind it all. And coming in at No. 10 (3.2 million views) is The Truth About Jussie Smollett?, which provides new insights and features the first interview the actor has given since the year of his controversial alleged attack.  

Viewers were ensnared by the political thriller Hostage, in which the British prime minister must decide between her country and her family. The series landed at No. 2 on the English TV list with 11.6 million views. The new documentary series, Katrina: Come Hell and High Water, debuted in the Top 10 at No. 4 (7.3 million views) with its in-depth look at one of America’s most catastrophic disasters.

In anticipation of this week’s Part 2 premiere, dark-minded mystery lovers caught up with Wednesday Season 2, Part 1, putting the series at No. 3 on the English TV list with 8.4 million views. Find out what happens when the final episodes of the season arrive on Sept. 3.

And as for the global phenomenon that just won’t quit, the No. 1 spot on the English Film list was occupied by KPop Demon Hunters — powered by the newly released singalong version, complete with song lyrics that just won’t get out of our heads. Like Saja Boys’ “Soda Pop,” the film continues to be all that fans can think of, every time they (figuratively) drink up, as it spent another week in the Top 10 with 30.1 million views. This number of views in a film’s 11th week is something no other film has ever accomplished — consider the Honmoon sealed!

For some steamy end-of-summer fare, viewers continued to flock to Mallorca in Fall for Me, where one woman’s vacation turns into a tryst with a man she may or may not be able to trust. The film remained at the No. 1 spot on the Non-English Film list with another 12.5 million views. No. 2 once again went to Abandoned Man, the Turkish tearjerker about the bond that forms between an ex-con and his adorable niece, with 9.5 million views. 

The Korean rom-com Love Untangled debuted at No. 3 (6.2 million views), winning hearts with the story of a high school girl determined to get the attention of her crush by changing her hairstyle. Viewers craving more rom and more com tuned in for the new Polish film Planet Single: Greek Adventure. The film, about a group of friends on vacation who suspect their friend and host may be being swindled by his new partner, debuted at No. 5 with 3.6 million views. 

Two Graves, Spain’s limited series about a bereft grandmother seeking vengeance and answers in the disappearance of her granddaughter and her friend, topped the Non-English TV list with 8.6 million views. And the equally gritty, Rivers of Fate, a Brazilian series about a mother and a river pirate who go in search of a young woman kidnapped by a sex-trafficking ring, took the No. 3 spot (3.6 million views). 

Slipping through time and rising to the No. 2 spot is Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, the Korean romantic drama about a chef who finds herself 500 years in the past and has to use her cooking skills to stay alive and win over the current king. Meanwhile, the K-drama series Aema debuted at No. 8 on the list with 1.1 million views, offering a satirical look at two actors in ’80s Korea who challenge the norms of the male-dominated film industry.
