“The Roast of Tom Brady” was the most-watched TV title on Netflix during the week of May 6, and the second-most-watched title overall.
The special, which originally streamed live during the Netflix Is a Joke comedy fest, hit 13.8 million views during the May 6-12 viewing window, a steep increase from the 2 million views that made it the No. 6 English-language TV title the week before, during which it was only available for the weekend. Also recorded live during the festival, Katt Williams’ stand-up special “Woke Foke” held onto its No. 4 position for the second week in a row, increasing slightly from 4 million to 4.3 million views.

On the movies chart, the Brooke Shields-led “Mother of the Bride” quickly dethroned “Unfrosted” in the top position with a strong 26.7 million views — also outpacing the Brady roast. Jerry Seinfeld’s movie followed with 8.8 million views in its first full week of availability.
But perhaps most notable was “Shrek’s” jump to the No. 3 position in its first full week after being re-added to Netflix, achieving 8.5 million views. The popular DreamWorks movie debuted at No. 4 with 4.7 million views the week before — though this week marks its ninth week overall on the Netflix Top 10, as it previously charted before being removed from Netflix in 2022.
