Another week and another new Netflix number one hit:Trigger Warning, starring Jessica Alba, has proven super-popular forthe best streaming service… but its Rotten Tomatoes score is anything but! A shame, given the initialexcitement when the movie’s trailer first dropped.

Checking over thelatest Netflix ‘Tadum’ siteand, at the time of writing, the new movie has been viewed almost a staggering 26 million times since 21 June – which makes it more viewed than the second, third, fourth and fifth position movies in the top 10 chart combined!
