Ozark<\/em> is still hanging on. For 10 weeks now, the fourth and final season of the buzzy, critically acclaimed Netflix original series \u2014 which dropped its final set of episodes on the streamer on April 29 \u2014 has been among the Top Netflix shows worldwide now for a whopping 10 weeks. This week, however, according to the streamer\u2019s just-released weekly global Top 10 data, it\u2019s got a serious challenger, posting some strong numbers.<\/p>\n

Ozark<\/em> is, once again, the #1 English-language Netflix show globally (for the 7-day period that ended May 15, the timeframe that the newest data available right here<\/a> looks at). It garnered more than 48 million hours of viewing time globally between May 9-15. However, partly because of the fact that Ozark<\/em> Season 4 Part 2 has been out for almost a month now \u2014 and partly because of the strength of this week\u2019s #2 show \u2014 Ozark\u2019s<\/em> reign looks like it\u2019s about to come to an end.<\/p>\n

The Lincoln Lawyer<\/em><\/h2>\n

Check out these numbers for the #1 and #2 shows:<\/p>\n

What\u2019s even more incredible about The Lincoln Lawyer\u2019s<\/em> huge viewership total is that the show hasn\u2019t even been available on Netflix for a full week yet.<\/p>\n

Also, while those numbers above reflect global viewership \u2014 which keeps Ozark<\/em> at #1 and The Lincoln Lawyer<\/em> at #2 \u2014 that order is actually flipped if you only consider Netflix\u2019s home market. In the US, The Lincoln Lawyer<\/em> is the top show at the moment, while Ozark<\/em> comes in at #2.<\/p>\n

Ozark<\/em><\/h2>\n

As for Ozark<\/em>, it\u2019s still posting strong viewership numbers for Netflix because of the degree to which Netflix fans were dying to see how it all shook out. Would Ruth Langmore get out of everything alive? How about Marty Byrde? And would the Byrdes be able to spring cartel boss Omar Navarro from prison?<\/p>\n

Over at Rotten Tomatoes, season four of the show has an 84 percent critics score, and an 82 percent audience score. And that\u2019s probably fair. I wasn\u2019t a fan of the ending, but, overall, the show shouldn\u2019t be graded any worse than that. Also, RIP Ruth.<\/p>\n
