Another week and another newNetflix number onehas risen to the top of the stack (in the UK anyway, it’s nowhere to be seen in the US charts). It’s aNetflixOriginal action-drama series, adapted from the anime original which spanned 20 seasons and over 1000 episodes, calledOne Piece.

In a rare turn of events,One Piecehas critics doling out shining reviews of the eight-part show, with an83% Rotten Tomatoes score. But its fans and the audience score of 96% shows just how jubilant lovers of the original show and newcomers alike are with this adaptation. It’s not an opinion-splitter like theentirely different Netflix OriginalPainkiller, which I wrote about a few weeks ago. You can watch theOne Piecetrailer below:

I think that’s great to see, showing that Netflix can sometimes do that all too rare thing of releasing a much-loved show (although, who knows how long it is before itgets cancelled, eh?). It’s not impossible, of course, with another well-deservedNetflix sci-fi scoring a rare 100% Rotten Tomatoes score. That’s why it’s still one ofthe best streaming servicesavailable right now.

Once you’re done watching all eight episodes of One Piece, whether you fall in love with the show or don’t get its appeal, there’s plenty of opportunity to use your Netflix account to dive into other action-adventure shows. Especially at a time when Netflix iscracking down on password sharingand has now justscrapped its basic plan, so being subscribed for the late summer is a must.

For me,One Piecehas re-ignited my recently dormant relationship with anime, almost making me want to resubscribe to Crunchyroll in addition to picking up some different old-school animation classics onDisney+ (not anime, granted, but it’s all good). I suspect this show will continue as one of Netflix’s strong runners this year, although can’t imagine it’ll make it as far as season 20 before receiving the now-expected ‘Netflix cancellation’ baton. Best enjoy it whilst it’s here, eh?
