**Below: Limited Series** holds a commanding lead in the market for Netflix’s top global show the week of October 20 because of its blockbuster debut on October 8. The six-episode Canadian thriller starring Josh Hartnett delivered 17 million views in its first week, topping English-language charts worldwide and marking the strongest opening for a Netflix title from Canada. Strong critical reception (87% on Rotten Tomatoes) and broad audience interest in its sea-creature premise have sustained momentum into the following tracking period, outpacing holdovers such as *East of Eden*. An upset would require an even stronger launch from a new title dropping mid-week, such as *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2* on October 20, or a sharp rebound by an existing series, though current data shows *Below* maintaining a wide margin. Trader consensus reflects the typical pattern where fresh limited-series debuts with star power and solid reviews dominate short-term global rankings.
