If you've checked Netflix's Top 10 lately and thought, "Why is this chart broken?" — you're not alone.

The culprit? Ginny & Georgia, which is currently pulling off a rare streaming stunt: all three seasons are clogging up the Top 10 at the same time.

As of now:

  • Season 3 is sitting comfortably at #1
  • Season 1 is back in the mix at #5
  • Season 2 follows right behind at #6

Which means 30% of Netflix's entire Top 10 is just this one show — knocking other popular titles out of the ranking completely.

To be fair, this kind of viewership bump when a new season drops isn't unusual. Fans catch up. Newbies binge from the beginning. But this level of back-catalog domination is rare. Ginny & Georgia isn't just popular — it's steamrolling everything else.

Netflix, of course, loves this. The platform's dream scenario is exactly what's happening here: one show becomes such a sensation that even its older seasons get dragged back into the spotlight. That's not just success — it's retention, discovery, and cultural momentum all rolled into one algorithm-friendly package.

Which is why Netflix has already greenlit season 4, and according to recent production updates, it's moving fast. The show may not have Stranger Things-level VFX or Squid Game stakes, but it's officially joined that shortlist of Netflix originals with staying power.

What's especially valuable about Ginny & Georgia is how it's managed to grow with each season. While critics were lukewarm at first — Season 1 holds a 68% on Rotten Tomatoes — audiences have steadily grown more enthusiastic.

Here's how the numbers stack up:

  • Season 1: 68% critics / 69% audience
  • Season 2: 60% critics / 81% audience
  • Season 3: 69% critics / 82% audience

So yeah, the Top 10 is a mess right now. But it's the good kind of mess — the kind that says original content still works.
