One Piece has seemingly done the impossible and has pleased both fans and non-fans alike with its adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s long running Weekly Shonen Jump manga series. It’s done so well, in fact, that it quickly dominated Netflix worldwide following its premiere and continued to break all sorts of records previously held by other major releases such as Stranger Things and Wednesday. But now it’s been dethroned from its top spot in the United States.ย

As revealed by the current Top 10 TV Shows in the United States section on Netflix, One Piece has been moved to the Number 2 spot following the debut of comedian Shane Gillis’ new special, Beautiful Dogs. The controversial comedian was most known for being hired as a cast member for Saturday Night Live back in 2019, but was fired before officially joining the show due to the use of a racial slur and controversial comments revealed in a resurfaced video. Now that Beautiful Dogs has been released on Netflix, Shane Gillis’ new special has taken the top spot in the United States.ย
