Ben Affleck’s New Netflix Thriller Holds Off ‘East of Eden,’ ‘Ted Lasso’ Finale at No. 1 on Streaming | Charts

Ben Affleck's new Netflix thriller, currently holding the top spot on streaming, has managed to hold off the competition from "East of Eden" and "Ted Lasso" finale at No. 1. This is part of a trend of Netflix titles topping the charts, with three different Netflix originals claiming the top position in just three weeks. "Animals," another Affleck-directed film, is the latest addition to this streak.

The thriller centers around a mayoral candidate whose son is kidnapped before the election. Affleck's star power, combined with Netflix's platform, seems to be a winning formula for viewers. Netflix currently owns the top three spots on this week's chart, and six of the top ten overall. This success story continues with "East of Eden," the streamer's adaptation of the classic John Steinbeck novel, moving up to second place this week due to Florence Pugh's compelling performance.

"Below," a monster series arriving in time for spooky season, rounds out the top three. "Ted Lasso," concluding its fourth season, lands in fourth place, despite a strong push in its final weeks. The beloved Apple TV series couldn't overtake Netflix's lineup. Netflix's "Doing Life," a romantic drama about an ex-con and a single mother, claims fifth place.

Tyler Perry's Netflix collaboration remains a constant presence on the chart, with "Doing Life," alongside "Beauty in Black" and "Why Did I Get Married Again?" Prime Video's adaptation of Stephen King's "Carrie" debuts in sixth place, following a miniseries format unlike the previous three adaptations. "Lanterns," an HBO Max superhero drama, maintains its chart presence even after its season finale, indicating a strong fan base.

Two additional Netflix titles occupy the next two spots: the true crime documentary "The Widower: 'Til Death Do Us Part," which slides five places to eighth place, and the scripted drama "Murder in a Small Town," landing in ninth place. The latter series, usually airing on Fox, cracks our Top 10 after its addition to Netflix's library.

Closing the top ten is the divorce drama "War," debuting in its second week on the air, making its chart debut. On the traditional television side, "The Voice" climbs to the top this week, followed by CBS's "Survivor" in second place, and ABC's "Dancing With the Stars," which falls to third place. "Saturday Night Live" draws controversy and lands in sixth place, while the remaining half of the chart is filled with "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!"
