The offer of streaming services available in Poland may be overwhelming for many people. Every month, new new releases or licensed classics appear on the platforms. Critics’ reviews and lists of items most frequently watched by other viewers help in choosing a screening. However, reviewers’ opinions often do not coincide with the popularity of a given title.

The website digitalspy.com has published the latest list of the most frequently watched English-language films available on Netflix. Interestingly, critics rated the one ranked first out of all ten titles the worst. First things first. “Tyler Rake: Salvation” took 10th place on the list.
