The Nest, a psychological drama starring Carrie Coon and Jude Law, has climbed Netflix’s top 10 chart – but that doesn’t mean people are enjoying it.
The current layout of the chart is pretty interesting: at number one you haveLift, Kevin Kart’s mile-high heist movie that’s held its position since its premiere last week. Next up isThe Super Mario Bros Movie, which dropped on the streamer in December last year and has become a mainstay in the top three.
The Nest is a particular outlier, but thanks toNetflix’sunpredictable algorithm, it’s found itself in seventh place on the top 10 movies chart in the US.
The Nest climbs Netflix chart – but viewers aren’t happy
It was critically acclaimed upon release, with its Rotten Tomatoes score sitting at 90%. However, its audience rating of 45% proved to be an accurate indicator of how it’d go down with Netflix viewers, given the response on social media.
“The Nest. Did I just waste an hour and 47 minutes on this movie? Mannnn @netflix y’all are tripping,” one usertweeted. “The Nest… trying to think of a worse movie. It’s one of these flicks where you’ve gone too far before you realize you’ve wasted your time, but feel compelled to find out how it ends. Don’t bother,” anotherwrote.
