Fred and Rose West Doc Tops Netflix UK

Netflix's true crime documentary 'Fred and Rose West: A British Horror Story' has become the most-watched show on Netflix UK, featuring never-before-heard police interview tapes and testimonies from victims' families and earning praise for its sober, non-sensational approach. 'Love Rat,' a British thriller starring Sally Lindsay about a woman's involvement in a holiday romance scam, has surged into the top three most-watched shows in the UK, with audiences divided over its plausibility but enjoying its suspenseful twists. The teen drama 'Bet,' based on the manga Kakegurui, has also entered the UK Top 10; while criticized for its style-over-substance presentation, it has been noted for bold ideas and binge-worthy qualities. These releases illustrate Netflix UK's trend toward gripping real-life stories and high-stakes dramas that resonate with viewers. The chart positions reflect the strong audience appetite for both true crime and dramatic fiction. Netflix continues to gain traction in the UK with its diverse slate of intense programming.
