  "account": "This week's Netflix top 10, based on viewer engagement over the weekend, includes three standout shows you should consider binging. First up is \"Tires,\" the new season of a workplace comedy that follows cousins Will and Shane as they struggle to keep their struggling automotive center afloat. New faces like Billy Magnussen join the cast and add to the chaotic yet entertaining mix of characters.\n\nSecond on the list is \"My Life with the Walter Boys,\" a romantic drama that revolves around a love triangle. Adapted from a viral Wattpad novel, the series is a mix of cozy small-town drama and high school relationships. Season 3 picks up with Jackie and Cole confessing their feelings, only for Alex to overhear them, leading to a series of dramatic events as the family deals with the aftermath.\n\nFinally, \"My Brilliant Career\" is a period comedy-drama based on Miles Franklin's classic 1901 novel. Set in rural Australia around 1900, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a young woman determined to become a writer despite societal expectations. With a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it offers a lavish period setting and modern sensibilities that draw comparisons to \"Bridgerton.\"",
