Netflix’s #1 Trending 4-Part True Crime Series Is A Must-Binge This Week

The new Netflix series is quickly becoming a hit around the world, reaching the #1 spot in the U.S. just days after its release.

Netflix started December 2025 strong with a fantastic selection of shows. Season 5 of Stranger Things is still incredibly popular worldwide, and the thriller The Beast in Me has unexpectedly become a huge hit this fall.

It’s worth noting that some of the most popular shows on the platform this month – including Talamasca: The Secret Order, Victoria, and Absentia – aren’t actually made by Netflix. However, the current #1 true crime series is a Netflix production and is expected to be one of the biggest streaming successes of December 2025, across all services.

New Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Series Surges To Netflix’s #1 U.S. Spot

The new Netflix docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning quickly became the most popular show in the U.S. just days after its release on December 2nd. It’s now the second most-watched show globally, behind only the fifth season of Stranger Things, which had almost 60 million views in its first week (according to FlixPatrol).

Okay, let me tell you, if you’re looking for a true crime series to devour this weekend, stop what you’re doing and check this one out. It’s only four episodes, but it completely pulls you in. Produced by 50 Cent, this docuseries is already being hailed as the definitive look at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is currently in prison. It’s currently topping the charts on Netflix, and for good reason – it’s seriously compelling viewing.

I have to say, I was expecting big numbers for Sean Combs: The Reckoning, but its performance has been genuinely astonishing. To see it potentially overtake Stranger Things so quickly after that show’s final season dropped? That’s a major upset. While I doubt it’ll become Netflix’s all-time global champion, it looks like it’s going to dominate the U.S. charts for the foreseeable future, and that’s a pretty remarkable feat.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has become a very well-known and controversial figure in recent years, so it’s no surprise his new Netflix documentary is already popular. The series highlights a fascinating, but troubled, story that has really captured the public’s attention.

The documentary series features previously unseen footage of Combs meeting with his lawyers just before his September 2024 arrest. It explores his entire career—from his early success to his recent legal troubles and imprisonment. Combs has claimed Netflix obtained this footage unlawfully, but Netflix denies those accusations, according to Deadline.

This new true crime series is currently the #1 show on Netflix and has become closely connected to the ongoing story surrounding Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Even if you don’t usually watch true crime, this series is incredibly relevant and timely, making it a show you won’t want to miss – it’s a must-binge on Netflix.
