After a slow start of 2.3 million views in its opening weekend on Netflix, viewership of Andrew Scott’s “Ripley” barely rose in its first full week of availability. The limited series racked up 2.5 million views between April 8 and April 14, making it the streamer’s sixth English-language TV title of the week — low for a project of its caliber, considering the talent and IP attached to it .
Meanwhile, “Sex and the City” fell off the chart after debuting at No. 6 when it was added to Netflix via a licensing deal the week before. While it may or may not be far behind this week’s number 10 series, it appears that the The HBO classic didn’t reach Gen Z the way Netflix had hoped – or maybe they’ll just tune in to Max, where the series was already available.

Netflix’s most-watched title of the week was a film, the crime documentary “What Jennifer Did,” which debuted on Netflix with 18 million views in its first five days and was followed by the live-action/animated crossover “Woody Woodpecker Goes to Camp” with 11.8 million views in three days.
Unusually, the most-watched TV series wasn’t an English-language project: South Korean limited series “Parasyte: The Grey” racked up 9.8 million views in its second week on the chart. The No. 2 title on that chart also surpassed the English-language winner, with Season 1 of the German drama “Crooks” reaching 5 million views, also in its second week.
But for the third week in a row, ‘3 Body Problem’ was the most-watched English-language series, this time with 4.8 million views. “Unlocked: A Jail Experiment,” an unscripted series shot at the Pulaski County Regional Detention Facility in Little Rock, Ark. debuted right behind it with 3.9 million views, while the No. 3 position went to Guy Ritchie’s “The Gentlemen,” enjoying it’s sixth week on the chart with 3.7 million views.
With 3.1 million views, “Bad Dinosaurs” landed at No. 4 in its third week on the chart, followed by the debut of the limited series “Baby Reindeer,” which racked up 2.6 million views in three days.
