"Avatar: The Last Airbender" made a strong debut on Netflix with 21.2M views, ranking in the Top 10 in 92 countries, but was surpassed by the Swedish thriller "The Abyss," which drew 22.3M views and topped the non-English film list. Other top TV titles included "One Day" and "Love is Blind," while on the English films list, "Tyler Perry’s Mea Culpa" took the top spot with 16M views.
Netflix quietly released the Swedish disaster thriller "The Abyss," set in the real-life town of Kiruna, where the threat of mining subsidence forces the town to slowly move east. The film follows a workaholic single mom juggling her job as a mine security manager and family drama, culminating in a disaster that rocks the town to its foundations. While lacking in compelling characters and humor, the film delivers claustrophobic cave scenes and a terrifying town center destruction sequence, making it a lean disaster film worth watching for those who prefer less bombast in their disaster flicks.
