Netflix introduced daily top 10 lists of its most viewed movies and TV shows in February (it counts a view if an account watches at least two minutes of a title).
“Angel Has Fallen” Lionsgate

Besides “Angel Has Fallen,” this week’s list includes the Netflix original rom-com “Love Wedding Repeat” and M. Night Shyamalan’s critically panned “The Last Airbender.”
Below are Netflix’s 7 most popular movies of the week in the US:

Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 78%
What critics said: “The director and his screenwriters have come up with the funniest film to appear in ages. It avoids the predictable crudity and silly laddishness (well, almost) you’d expect, and delights with zinging one-liners and charming performances.” — Times
6. “Coffee and Kareem” (2020 — Netflix original)
“Coffee and Kareem” , Netflix
Netflix description: “An inept Detroit cop must team up with his girlfriend’s foul-mouthed young son when their first crack at bonding time uncovers a criminal conspiracy.”
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 21%
What critics said: “Things quickly escalate into chaos and stay there, but they do so in ways that are not quite funny enough to make you forget the implausibilities or the way serious stuff is played for bad jokes.” — The Wrap
Netflix description: “In a world ravaged by the Fire nation’s aggression toward the peaceful Air, Water and Earth nations, a young boy holds the key to restoring peace.”
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 5%
What critics said: “After the first five seconds, it seems as if you have been watching it for around two-and-a-half hours, and that this time has passed in four-and-a-half days.” — Guardian
Netflix
Netflix description: “Using special powers from a magical mask, a young WWE fan causes chaos when he enters a wrestling competition and fights an intimidating rival.”
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 25%
What critics said: “It’s not about the hard work that’s intrinsic with all of wrestling, so much as the WWE’s open willingness to sacrifice its core values for lazy family-friendly amusement.” — RogerEbert.com
Vertical Entertainment
Netflix description: “In a city where super-powered people are ostracized, an earnest day laborer considers using his outlawed abilities for money to save his sick mother.”
Rotten Tomatoes critics score: 73%
What critics said: “Essentially a humbler, grungier indie ‘X-Men’ without the same dependence on splashy effects, ‘Code 8’ is a solid genre effort from director Jeff Chan.” — Variety
2. “Love Wedding Repeat” (2020 — Netflix original)
Netflix
Netflix description: “Different versions of the same day unfold as Jack juggles difficult guests, unbridled chaos and potential romance at his sister’s wedding.”

Netflix description: “Secret Service agent Mike Banning is caught in the crossfire when he’s framed for a deadly attack on the president and forced to run for his life.”
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 39%
