The Roast of Tom Brady has become a controversial hit on Netflix, attracting a staggering 13.8 million viewers in just one week. Hosted by Kevin Hart, this former live event features sports figures and comics teaming up to mercilessly mock former NFL quarterback Tom Brady. However, the show has faced backlash due to several questionable moments, including a joke about New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft that crossed the line. Even reality star Kim Kardashian received a less-than-warm reception from the crowd, prompting Netflix to edit out the booing in the version now available for streaming. But perhaps the most awkward moment came when Brady interrupted Jeff Ross’ reference to Kraft’s massage parlour scandal, telling him not to bring it up again.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Tom Brady admitted that he would not participate in another Netflix roast. While he enjoyed being the target of jokes, he revealed that the roast had negatively impacted the people he cares about the most. Despite the controversy surrounding the show, it has not deterred viewers, as a whopping 13.8 million people tuned in to watch the three-hour special in the past week. This impressive viewership has propelled The Roast of Tom Brady to the top spot on Netflix’s most-watched list, knocking Baby Reindeer down to second place with 11.4 million views.
Baby Reindeer, a highly popular miniseries, has been a consistent presence on Netflix’s most-watched list for four consecutive weeks. Starring Richard Gadd as struggling comedian Donny, the show tells the chilling true story of Donny’s traumatic encounter with a relentless stalker. Drawing from his own personal experiences, Gadd delivers a haunting performance. In third place is A Man in Full, a gripping drama centered around an Atlanta businessman facing financial ruin. The show garnered 6.7 million views in the past week.
In other rankings, Bridgerton has made a comeback on Netflix’s top ten list, thanks to the release of its highly anticipated third season. The steamy period drama, which follows the romantic pursuits of the Bridgerton family, has captivated viewers once again. This season focuses on the younger Bridgerton sibling, Francesca, as she navigates the challenges of finding love. Additionally, Penelope, played by Nicola Coughlan, takes on a more prominent role. The combined viewership of seasons one and two reached 3.1 million views last week, and it is expected that season three will soon join the ranks of Netflix’s top ten.
