That, of course, is the return of Squid Game for its third and reportedly final season. Squid Game season 1 still holds the record as the most-watched season of any show on Netflix. Season 2 ranks in the top 5. I anticipate that season 3 will likely surpass season 2, and now it’s launched with a six-episode final stretch. There was absolutely no doubt it would land at #1, and here we are.

The Waterfront has had a strong run since its premiere, initially starting at #1 before being overtaken, which was always inevitable. If Squid Game hadn’t returned, I suspect it might have held onto that position for a while longer. It's an impressive beginning for the series that appears headed for a second season, and as I’ve mentioned previously, I fully expect this to happen given how Netflix aims to fill the void left by long-running water-themed crime dramas like Bloodline and Ozark. It’s only a matter of time before we get confirmation for The Waterfront, too.

Regarding Squid Game, it has returned with slightly higher critical scores than season 2 but lower audience ratings, falling from 61% down to 53%. I’m halfway through the season and not entirely sure why yet. Episode 2 stands out as one of the best episodes in the series so far. Again, this is the concluding season, though its creator already has plans for a spin-off set between seasons 1 and 2, and hasn't ruled out a possible sequel either, he says.

Elsewhere on the list, Ginny and Georgia continues to perform exceptionally well considering how much time has passed since its debut. The show was greenlit for a fourth season quite some time ago, so there's no need to wait around for that announcement. America’s Sweethearts: The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders series seems to be among Netflix’s more popular reality shows lately, even if I can’t quite figure out why. Expect another season to be on the way.

Two licensed titles are also performing well—Animal Kingdom and Blindspot—which offer viewers six and five seasons respectively to binge.

Now the big question is how long Squid Game season 3 will remain at number one. Anything less than two weeks would surprise me a little, especially since Netflix has cleared its upcoming release schedule in anticipation. However, this season features the fewest episodes of any so far, meaning viewers may finish it more quickly. We’ll continue monitoring its performance.
