More and more people are subscribing to Netflix, because it's the channel that offers maximum diversity to delight young and old alike. After all, we all like to have plenty of choice when it comes to films and series. With Netflix, there's no shortage of new releases, and we have the opportunity to discover films by great directors played by renowned actors.
However, among the most-watched and most-appreciated productions, there's always the Top of the Top, the one that manages to break all records. Find out in our article what's currently number 1 on Netflix: the Echoes series.
Echoes beat The Sandman?
Many people think that “The Sandman” series is still at the top of the Netflix charts, when this is no longer the case. Know that despite its crazy success, this series has recently been dethroned.
That's right, Netflix's The Sandman is a very popular series, due to the fact that it has long been eagerly awaited as an adaptation of the comic book series, also known as "The Sandman", directed by Neil Gaiman. The series has been concocted since the 1990s, but the first season only saw the light of day on August 5, 2022.
It's about a young man called Morpheus, aka "the King of Dreams", who has made cosmic mistakes and tries to redeem himself while escaping captivity. The Sandman combines modern mythology and dark fantasy to become one of the most popular series ever released on Netflix. So the fact that it took first place on Netflix came as no great surprise to anyone.
However, after 4 successive weeks where it maintained the first place of the streaming service, the series The Sandman is overtaken by the famous series, entitled “Echoes”. In fact, the latter is an original property, not an adaptation, which is somewhat surprising. But the mystery around this series has aroused the curiosity of the greatest number.
Echoes: Number 1 on Netflix right now
This Netflix chart-topper stars Michelle Monaghan of Mission Impossible fame. In Echoes, she plays twin sisters whose story is particularly mysterious. In fact, the two sisters exchange lives, then one of them disappears, causing them worries galore.
What makes this series so special is that it combines mystery and drama in a remarkable psychological thriller. What's more, it also boasts plenty of star power, as in addition to Michelle Monaghan, Echoes welcomes such renowned actors as American Horror Story's Matt Bomer.
This series was released on August 19, 2022, but just as quickly, it became number 1 on Netflix. What's most surprising about Echoes' success is that it's not an adaptation, but an original property.
So, as soon as it was released, as soon as it was heard, and as soon as it was seen, it was unanimously acclaimed. Word of mouth has spread, and fans have not hesitated to share it on several platforms.
Even though Echoes doesn't have a huge marketing budget like The Sandman did, this original series is currently the King of Netflix.
