Streaming platforms like Netflix are convenient; in fact they have become our best friends in the current global pandemic situation, providing us in-house entertainment and comfort. However, sifting through thousands of old and new titles in its library is a daunting task. Thankfully, the medium provides some of the most accurate suggestions as well as keeps us informed about what’s trending in our region.
Here are the top 10 movies and TV shows that were streamed on Netflix in Pakistan (from the most trending to the least) in the last week making it to Monday’s list:
#1: Cursed
The series restages the Arthurian legend with a contemporary sensibility. Katherine Langford plays Nimue, a young woman whose sense of righteousness is inflected by, and inflamed with, a destiny to lead her people through a time of upheaval.

All we can say is that this Polish erotic drama got more famous for its lead actor rather than anything meaningful.

#8: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
Happy to see some magic and wizard-related content trending on Netflix. This is a sequel to 2016’s first part and narrates how Grindelwald plans to raise an army of wizards to rule over non-magical beings. Potterheads can find Albus Dumbledore in it.
