Fans Can’t Stop Watching This Netflix School Show and Now Everyone Wants Season Two
Netflix’s New School Drama “Bet” Amazes Viewers
Netflix has a brand new show that is getting a lot of attention. The show is called Bet, and it is set in a fancy private school. Many people are watching it, and they love it so much that they are already asking for a second season, even though it just came out.
Bet stars Miku Martineau, Ayo Solanke, and Eve Edwards. The story is about a Japanese student who moves to a new boarding school. She has a special skill for gambling and betting. When she arrives, she changes everything at the school. The students and teachers are surprised by her talent, and it causes a lot of excitement and mystery.
The show is based on a Japanese comic book called Kakegurui. There are lots of secrets, challenges, and even some revenge. People watching the show say it is “absolutely stunning.” One person even called it a “must-watch.”
The Excitement Around Bet
Bet was released on Netflix on May 15. It has 10 episodes. Many fans finished all the episodes in just a few days. Some fans said they could not stop watching. The show became one of the top 10 most watched on Netflix very quickly. Netflix said people watched over 13,000,000 hours of the show in less than a week!
The director, Simon Barry, made the show from the original manga. He told Tudum, “There was no point trying to reproduce the original. The manga stands on its own and works perfectly. We chose to be directed by the spirit Kakegurui inhabits in tone, audaciousness, and fun.” He also said, “We made something ‘birthed’ from the source material that inspired a new take—one that pays homage to it and doesn’t try to replace it.”

Fans really like the adaptation. One person wrote on Rotten Tomatoes, “This drama is absolutely stunning! If you’re a fan of the anime, you’ll definitely love this adaptation. Miku Martineau shines in her portrayal of Yumeko, bringing the character to life in such a compelling way. Clara Alexandrova nails the aggressive and intense vibe of Kira, making her performance unforgettable. The entire cast is incredible, and I can’t give too much away—this show is a must-watch! I’m already counting down the days until Season 2 arrives.”
There is no news about a second season yet. But fans are hopeful and ready to watch more.
A Heartbreaking True Story: A Deadly American Marriage
Netflix is also showing a sad and true story in a documentary called A Deadly American Marriage. This documentary tells the story of Jason Corbett. He moved from Ireland to the United States in April 2011. He brought his two children with him. He got married to an American woman named Molly Martens.
Jason and Molly moved to North Carolina. Jason’s first wife, Margaret “Mags” Fitzpatrick, had died in 2006, so his children were now living with him and Molly.
The story turns tragic. In 2015, Jason was killed in his own home. Someone used a baseball bat and a brick. Molly and her father, Thomas Martens, who was a retired FBI agent, were arrested and charged with murder. They got sentences of at least 20 years in prison. But after an appeal, their sentences were made shorter, and they were released in June 2024.
The documentary has interviews with people close to Jason, like his daughter Sarah Corbett Lynch. After the show came out, Sarah, who is now 18, explained why she chose to appear in the documentary. She said in an interview with Glamour, “There was a lot of discussion. We all sat down and spoke about it. At the end of the day we thought, if we don’t partake in this, it’s going to go ahead anyways. We would like to have our voices heard in it. And there were two strong women producers who were extremely sensitive throughout the entire process, especially because of me and Jack’s ages. We were both minors when it started. I do believe that it shows our characters in the way that we are.”
Sarah said she was happy with how she was shown in the documentary. “I was happy with my contribution, and it does feel like a certain amount of weight has been lifted off my shoulders that people are hearing us now and can understand it,” she said. “I suppose people could ask, ‘Why did you do the documentary?’ And it wasn’t really a choice. It felt like something we were compelled to do because we never knew what way it was going to go in America.”

Questions About the True Crime Documentary
Many viewers talked about A Deadly American Marriage on Reddit and other forums. Some people had questions about how Molly Martens acted during her interview. One Reddit user wrote, “Molly’s interview seemed robotic and rehearsed, just like how the kids’ initial interview sounded. The way she described everything including feelings were as if someone had written it for her.” Another viewer said Molly’s answers made it seem like she had practiced what to say.
The filmmakers, Jessica Burgess and Jenny Popplewell, explained, “This film is structured like a trial. It presents key arguments from both sides and allows the audience to draw their own conclusions about the case. From the very beginning, we approached both families. For the film to remain objective and balanced, we never discussed information we learned with either side.”
This documentary has made many people think and feel a lot. Some say you will need tissues to watch it.
Viewers Share Their Thoughts on Untold
Netflix has many shows, but not everyone likes the same things. There is a long-running Netflix documentary series about sports called Untold. It shows stories about famous athletes and behind-the-scenes moments in sports. Usually, people like the series, but some of the new episodes are not as popular.
One episode is about a man called The Liver King, who became famous for eating raw meat on social media. Another episode is about NFL quarterback Brett Favre. Some people on Reddit said these new episodes were not good. One viewer wrote, “The Untold series is losing its magic and the last two episodes have been awful. Just finished watching both the Liver King and Favre Untold episodes. While I enjoyed the ‘Shooting Guards’ episode quite a bit, I can’t help but be shocked by how awful the Liver King and Favre Episodes were.”

The person explained that since the original directors, the Way brothers (Chapman and Maclain Way), stopped directing every episode, the show has changed. “The Liver King episode was one of the worst documentaries I think I have ever seen in my life and the Favre episode was a bit a mess. Not even the gorgeous soundtrack the series boasts and brilliant editing could save the two from being borderline unwatchable. I hope the Way brothers direct more episodes in the future because they are some of the most talented and exciting filmmakers at the moment.”
Other viewers agreed. One said, “I’ve watched two or three of them. The last was Liver King. It was poor and messy.” Even though some episodes are not liked, many still enjoy the series.
More About Netflix’s Sirens: A Limited Series Hits Big
Netflix’s most popular show this week is called Sirens. Even though it is a “limited” series, people hope for a second season. It has already been watched 16,700,000 times in just one week, according to Netflix’s Tudum.
The series was created by Molly Smith Metzler, who also made Maid. The main actors are Julianne Moore (from Still Alice), Meghann Fahy (from The White Lotus), and Milly Alcock (from House of the Dragon). The story is about Devon (Fahy), who wants to reconnect with her younger sister Simone (Alcock). But Simone’s boss, Michaela (Moore), is in the way. Devon needs to help Simone see what is really happening and maybe pull her away from a fancy lifestyle.
People are talking about the show all over the internet. One fan said, “Simoooone! Complete whiplash trying to process the last 15 mins of the final episode #SirensNetflix #Sirens.” Another wrote, “What #Sirens proves is that Meghann Fahy is one of the most VERSATILE actresses in the game. Her wit and charm can have you laughing one moment and then she can have you completely sobbing the next. She also is able to pull off grit with ease. Bright future ahead. #SirensNetflix.” Someone else called it, “One of the best series since a long time,” and another said, “I honestly think it is a solid 10/10. Loved being scammed, I’ll be watching season 2 #SirensNetflix.”
Will Sirens Get a Second Season?
Right now, there is no word if there will be a second season. But that does not stop people from hoping. The creator, Molly Smith Metzler, said in an interview, “Never say never […] I’d have to think about it.” She feels happy that so many people like the show and want more.

The actors are also excited about the idea of another season. Meghann Fahy talked about her character Devon and said, “I do think that when she goes home, she won’t drink anymore. I don’t think she sees Ray [Josh Segarra] as Ray anymore. I like to think that she gets herself together a bit, and leaves with more self-respect than she arrived with. Even though she stays and ultimately is stuck taking care of Dad, she’s actively made her choice now, and there is power in that for her.”
Fahy also said, “The season ends in a very natural way, but I would love to know what happens to Michaela and where she goes.” Milly Alcock who plays Simone, agrees. She said, “Simone’s such a fascinating person. I’d love to explore a season two.”
So, even though the show is called a limited series, fans and actors hope there will be more. For now, you can watch Sirens on Netflix.
