It was supposed to go up last week, but with a few days’ delay, here’s the latest look at the Top 10 in streaming, based on data from FlixPatrol.

From gothic monsters to political dramas, this week’s charts reveal an audience split between the melancholy of art and the comfort of nostalgia — and every platform seems to have found its ideal tone.

General Trends of the Week

The rankings show a fascinating balance between nostalgic revivals and new narrative experiments. The intersection of literature, music, and established franchises dominates streaming, yet there’s growing space for auteur-driven drama and psychological sci-fi.
Frankenstein, Death by Lightning, and Pluribus are clear examples of this new phase.

Netflix: between monsters and politics

Top Movies:
The double lead of Frankenstein (by Guillermo del Toro) confirms the film’s aesthetic and emotional impact — embraced by both critics and audiences as the year’s defining gothic epic. Jacob Elordi’s haunting performance as “The Creature” drives discussion, while A Time to Kill and Jack Reacher benefit from renewed interest in classic legal and action thrillers.

The surprise hit is KPop Demon Hunters, an animation that showcases Asia’s cultural power and the demand for visually distinct pop narratives. Shrek Forever After and A House of Dynamite round out the nostalgic block.

Top TV Shows:
The Witcher still dominates — mixed reviews aside — proving Netflix’s dependence on recognizable franchises. But the real standout is Death by Lightning, a historical drama about President James Garfield’s assassination starring Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen. Combining political intrigue and personal tragedy, it evokes The Crown and House of Cards with a Victorian tone.

New titles like As You Stood By and The Asset strengthen Netflix’s spy-thriller lineup, while Nobody Wants This grows as the season’s offbeat hit, a sharp comedy about fame and loneliness.

HBO Max: nostalgia as strategy

Top Movies:
Weapons lead — deservedly so. Trey Edward Shults’ new film (starring Barry Keoghan) is one of the year’s most talked-about releases. The presence of It and It Chapter Two comes from the debut of It: Welcome to Derry, the spin-off currently ruling HBO’s series chart. Audiences revisiting the originals confirm the power of algorithmic nostalgia. The returns of Ferrari and The Idea of You reveal how Max balances mature cinephilia and romantic drama.

Top TV Shows:
It: Welcome to Derry reigns supreme as Warner’s flagship franchise. Task remains strong, reinforcing HBO’s identity in morally complex thrillers.
Meanwhile, I Love LA and The Chair Company represent a new wave of subtle urban comedies, and The Thaw brings Nordic suspense into the mix.

Disney+: franchises and crossovers

Top Movies:
The Fantastic 4: First Steps stays on top, previewing the MCU’s new direction. The special look at Predator: Badlands and the timeless success of Lilo & Stitch and Ratatouille show how Disney masterfully balances new projects with nostalgic affection. Elio — still in limited release — continues to draw attention for its emotional tone and themes of belonging.

Top TV Shows:
The unexpected Fortnite x The Simpsons crossover leads, proving the strength of blending gaming culture and classic animation. All’s Fair and The Manipulated signal Disney’s push toward more adult titles. The Kim Kardashian–Ryan Murphy series may have been critically panned, but its algorithmic pull turned it into a so-bad-it ‘s-good guilty pleasure.

Grey’s Anatomy and Bluey remain unbeatable — icons of different generations, equally loyal.

Prime Video: between love and chaos

Top Movies:
The Our Fault (Culpa Mía) phenomenon resurges, solidifying Amazon’s teen-romance literary universe. Its sequel, Culpa Tuya, also charts, while Play Dirty and Invasion keep male audiences engaged. The clear trend: turbulent, morally ambiguous love stories sell.

Top TV Shows:
Maxton Hall – The World Between Us continues as a European juggernaut, a more romantic Elite. The Summer I Turned Pretty keeps its YA appeal, while Lazarus (based on Harlan Coben’s novel) proves the global appetite for mystery thrillers.

The inclusion of Hazbin Hotel and Gen V marks the rise of adult animation and satire on Prime.

Paramount+: action and legacy

Top Movies:
Top Gun: Maverick’s dominance remains stunning — still the most enduring title in the catalog. Bohemian Rhapsody and Mean Girls add musical nostalgia, while World War Z and Jack Reacher bolster the action pillar.

Top TV Shows:
The strength of Tulsa King and Yellowstone keeps Paramount competitive with its core conservative base. The return of Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, taps into 1990s nostalgia, while South Park continues to embody the network’s irreverent counterbalance.

Apple TV+: auteur excellence and stability

Top Movies:
The Lost Bus leads, but Fountain of Youth is the critics’ darling — praised for its existential ambition. Wolfs, The Family Plan, and Ghosted balance action and emotion, as Apple perfects the “cinema-made-for-streaming” model.

Top TV Shows:
Pluribus solidifies itself as Apple’s biggest hit of 2025. The Last Frontier, The Morning Show, and Slow Horses uphold the brand’s identity: intelligent, visually polished, morally complex dramas.
Down Cemetery Road and Foundation show audiences still crave spy intrigue and philosophical sci-fi, while Ted Lasso and Loot remain comfort staples.

The Streaming Landscape

The first week of November 2025 reveals a purposeful fragmentation: every platform has found its narrative axis.

• Netflix bets on aesthetic melancholy (Frankenstein);
• HBO Max rules horror and moral thrillers.
• Disney+ thrives on nostalgia and multiverses.
• Prime trades in passion and guilt;
• Paramount defends legacy and tradition.
• Apple champions calm excellence.

The macro-trend is clear: people want stories that merge emotion and belonging, even amid chaos.

Miscelana Top 10

1- Frankenstein (Netflix) — Del Toro’s reimagining deserves every bit of the hype. It’s proof that streaming can still create cinematic magic when artistry leads the way. One of the year’s defining works.

2- Murdaugh: Death in the Family (Disney+/Hulu) — A meticulous reconstruction of a shocking crime that adds a new perspective. Chilling and superbly executed.

3- Down Cemetery Road (Apple TV+) — Emma Thompson shines as always in a sharp, original story that feels like the distant cousin of Slow Horses. Refreshing after so many biopics and true-crime dramas.

4- Billy the Kid (MGM+) — A historical gem from Michael Hirst, approaching its conclusion with elegance. A strong production that revises the myth — underrated but excellent.

5- Robin Hood (MGM+) — Another retelling that surprisingly works. With unknown leads (and veterans Sean Bean and Connie Nielsen in support), it’s a gritty, historically grounded take that’s worth watching.

6- The Morning Show (Apple TV+) — A glossy, twist-filled drama elevated by Billy Crudup’s unforgettable performance. Still one of the best-acted shows on TV.

7- All’s Fair (Disney+/Hulu) — Go ahead and laugh — but Ryan Murphy’s over-the-top excess turns Kim Kardashian’s divorce-lawyer fantasy into a so-bad-it’s-good guilty pleasure.

8- Loot (Apple TV+) — Still charming but stalled. Maya Rudolph keeps it afloat, and this week’s episode, focusing on Joel Kim Booster’s Nicholas, earns it a spot.

9- Death by Lightning (Netflix) — Shannon and Macfadyen deliver great performances in a bizarrely forgotten slice of history. The script isn’t strong enough to elevate Garfield’s legacy, but it’s solid TV.

10- The Last Frontier (Apple TV+) — An overly serious survival drama that might actually be an unintentional comedy. Each week, a new criminal survivor takes the spotlight — absurd, yet oddly watchable.
