The fourth most watched show was the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, with Star Trek: Discovery in fifth.
The eagerly-anticipated Chis Lilley comedy Lunatics was the sixth most viewed show, while the BBC's Bodyguard came in seventh. The recently axed Santa Clarita Diet was in eighth place, followed by Bonding with Brooklyn Nine-Nine rounding out the top 10.
If you're not one of those who helped get Black Summer into the top spot, it centres on the immediate aftermath of a zombie apocalypse and follows a group of people who are desperately attempting to find the missing members of their family.

The official synopsis reads: "In the dark, early days of a zombie apocalypse, complete strangers band together to find the strength they need to survive and get back to loved ones."

One viewer wrote: "Seriously guys, don't miss #BlackSummer on Netflix. This is a jolting, horrifying and creative portrayal of the zombie apocalypse that doesn't give you even a minute to breathe. I truly can't recommend it enough."
While another posted: "Black Summer is waaay better than Walking Dead." So there you go, if you haven't seen it yet, jump on the bandwagon quick.
