1	Murdaugh family	1,880,917		True crime Netflix show brings its subject to this list, and to the top, no less. Some things don't change. Namely, the family of South Carolina attorneys chronicled in Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal, who have been the subject of multiple investigations involving wrongful death, murder, corruption, and other alleged crimes, and the show gives most focus to one Murdaugh causing the death of a woman in a boating accident and his eventual murder, along with his mother, for which his father was found guilty (#10).

8	Pedro Pascal	753,506		Most of the attention might be because he's Joel in #3, but let's not forget that this week Pascal returned to the armor of The Mandalorian, trying to redeem himself before his race with the help of his adorable adopted child, while having a scene straight out of The Terminator during the attempt at reviving TaikaWaititiBot.
9	Jake Paul	752,957		Professional YouTuber known for too much to count boxed #5 and lost.
10	Trial of Alex Murdaugh	684,165		In June, this member of #1 called the police warning his wife and son were found dead. All the investigations pointed to him being the culprit, and on Thursday he was found guilty of murder, receiving two life sentences.
