Ice Age is the one the numbers agree with. Ice Age: Collision Course is not.
Netflix publishes what America watched. It does not publish whether any of it was good. Here is their Top 10 for the week ending October 18, 2026, with our independent score beside each title.
| # | Title | Weeks in Top 10 | Our score | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Animals | 2 | 73 | Worth it |

| 10 | UNABOMBER | 4 | 69.5 | Worth it |
The widest gap this week is between Ice Age, which the ratings back up, and Ice Age: Collision Course, which they do not. Both are in the same ten. Popularity and quality are measuring different things, and this is the week's clearest example.
