As an avid binge-watcher, I’ve learned that spotting a breakout hit is half the fun. In just seven days, a fresh series has shattered expectations and taken the crown as the most-watched show on Netflix worldwide, proving once again the platform’s knack for delivering global sensations—according to Netflix’s Top 10 data.
A blockbuster debut
In early May, “The Four Seasons” seemed unshakable atop the streaming charts, holding its position since May 1. Enter “The Royals,” an Indian-produced drama that has now surged past its predecessor to claim the number-one slot. This eight-episode saga centers on the tumultuous royal romance between Prince Alviraaj Singh and Sophia Kanmani Shekhar, a no-nonsense CEO. Their initial clashes give way to an unexpected partnership as they unite to rescue the Morpur royal estate from financial collapse—a plot twist that has kept viewers glued to their screens.
Crafted by writer-director Neha Sharma, the series blends political intrigue, heartfelt moments, and lavish settings, creating a global audience appeal that transcends language barriers. Viewers have praised its sharp dialogue and the chemistry between leads, with many taking to social media to highlight standout scenes—proof that a well-executed love story can still captivate millions.
How to watch Netflix for free ?
Wondering how to catch “The Royals” without opening your wallet? Certain internet and TV packages grant complimentary access to Netflix’s vast catalogue. In France, for instance, the Freebox Ultra offer includes Netflix’s ad-supported tier at no extra cost. Priced at €49.99/month for the first year (then €59.99/month), this package delivers fibre-optic speeds up to 8 Gb/s download and upload, Wi-Fi 7, and a host of other services—all while letting you stream Netflix without limits.
Before signing up, check with your local provider or streaming bundle to see if a similar promotion exists in your region. You might discover that enjoying the latest Netflix hit won’t add a single euro to your monthly bill.
