Netflix’s rom-com “Mother of the Bride” and Will Forte crime drama series “Bodkin” led the Luminate streaming originals chart for the week of May 10-16, elbowing past higher-profile competition.

Two buzzy streaming original movies — Netflix’s “Unfrosted” and Amazon Prime Video’s “The Idea of You” — held up well in their second full week in release. The Jake Gyllenhaal starrer “Road House” continues to be a work horse for Prime Video, which confirmed earlier this week that a second installment is in development. A surprise on the original film chart was Netflix documentary “Living with Leopards,” which debuted at No. 7.

“Bodkin,” which revolves around a podcast crew that comes to investigate the disappearance of three people from a small town in Ireland years before, moved swiftly up the original streaming series chart, passing Netflix’s “A Man in Full.” The Jeff Daniels’ starrer came in at No. 2 in its second full week in release.

What is better than witnessing your country win an international trophy after fifty-five long years—that too on your home soil? For English football fanatics, the answer would probably be nothing. The reason I’m using the term fanatics here is because we’re talking about the Netflix documentary The Final: Attack on Wembley, which focuses on the extreme chaos caused by the English football hooligans outside the Wembley stadium before the all-important Euro 2020 final. England was playing Italy and was on the verge of finally lifting an international trophy for the first time since 1966, the year in which the English team won the World Cup. Naturally, the spirit was high, and the English fans were on cloud nine, anticipating the moment that would possibly define all of their lives! That, of course, didn’t happen, but what’s worse than that was what the English fans did before the game.
