As our Government ponders breaking the legs of the BBC, let's take a look at the Top 20 "most popular" programmes on Netflix in the UK for 2019. No figures have been shared to back up this chart.
At No 1, The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann. The Guardian noted that the McCanns did not co-operate with this documentary series. "It offered no new facts, no new insight. It didn’t even have a point of view. Instead, it was purely a rehashing of everything anyone who was alive at the time, or who has been of an age to understand the periodic appeals on anniversaries, birthdays and other painful dates by the McCanns for more information in the 12 years that have elapsed since, already knew."
At No 2, 6 Underground, an American film. The website Plugged In said "Michael Bay’s Netflix debut is little more than endless explosions, an unbelievable plot and explicit content. Oh, and Ryan Reynolds."
At No 3, Murder Mystery, a 2019 film with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. CNN wrote "Even grading on a curve, though, Murder Mystery is a tired, bordering on tiresome endeavor -- feeling like the pilot for a not-very-good TV show -- as well as a reminder that Netflix's content buffet caters to all kinds of tastes."
At No 4, The Witcher, a sub-Games of Thrones fantasy, shot in Hungary, Poland and The Canaries.
At No 5, The Irishman, a Martin Scorsese film.
In the full Top 20, the only other British contributions are Our Planet, from BBC Natural History alumni, narrated by Sir David Attenborough; teen comedy Sex Education, and Rick Gervais' After Life.
