Would Netflix subscribers be nostalgic? It all suggests that when we take a look at the best movies and series on the platform this week. As every Wednesday, the site Tudum Updates to deliver audience figures.
We see that the first part of Cobra Kai season 6 took the first place in the series – in the United States and second in France – by taking the title of the most watched series of the week with 14.8 million views. The nostalgia card seems to be in full force with the sequel to the Karate Kids franchise, the iconic 1980s films.

That’s a respectable number for the first five episodes of the final season, though Netflix is certainly hoping that number increases over the 91-day release window. The 6th season consists of two more parts, the episodes of which will be broadcast in November and 2025.
Such a long break between new episodes is likely to hurt early audiences, as some viewers will wait until full episodes are available before starting, meaning a more impressive launch week for the latest episodes is more than “significant”.
Still on the series side, Vikings: Valhalla took over this week after starting its third season in second place with 6.4 million views. The broadcast of this final season also benefits from Season 1, which returned to the list in sixth position with 2.4 million views, while Season 2 came in tenth place with 1.9 million views. It’s an ice wind from Scandinavia taking over the platform!

As for movies, Harry Connick Jr.’s 14.4 million views in seven days took first place, just below Cobra Kai. In second place is the animated film Trolls 3.
It’s pretty fun to see something like “I Fall” go to number one in the US, but also in France. In general, the film has already entered the top charts of 80 countries. Is it the nostalgia that comes into play with 1980s and 1990s star Harry Connick Jr. in the title role?
Yesterday we returned to this unpretentious rosewater film, whose charm lies both in its casting and in its plot, which, of course, has been seen before, but well done and, above all, its setting, the island of Cyprus, is quite simply enchanting.
