Netflix has revealed its biggest shows of 2024 so far – and it's a strong showing for British drama.
Topping the list, perhaps to no surprise, is Harlan Coben's Fool Me Once. With Michelle Keegan at the helm, the bingeable box set arrived on New Year's Day and went on to break into the coveted chart of Netflix's most-watched series ever. It still sits at number eight on that list, with 98,200,000 views amassed in its first 91 days on the streaming service.
New data from Netflix reveals that the drama has now reached an impressive 108 million eyeballs, putting it at the top of the list for viewership in the first half of the year.

Next up is Bridgerton season three, which centred on Penelope and Colin's romance while also providing a much-needed dose of wedded bliss from fan-favourites Kate and Anthony.
In addition, the interest in the Shonda Rhimes show – set in the UK – also brought fresh attention to the 2023 spin-off Queen Charlotte, whose viewing figures doubled.
