Manifest season 4, and Firefly Lane season 2 are among the top Netflix shows with best completion rates, according to a report. PlumResearch, a prominent Polish SVOD analytics company, has recently released the completion rates for several popular Netflix shows in 2023. Completion rates serve as a crucial metric when assessing the success of shows on Netflix, as they offer more than just the number of viewers or overall viewing hours.

Top Netflix shows in the list are «Ginny & Georgia» season 2, 'Manifest' season 4, «Firefly Lane» season 2, «Outer Banks» season 3, «The Night Agent» season 1, «Love is Blind» season 4, «That'90s Show» season 1, «The Recruit» season 1, and 'Unstable' season 1.

Joro spiders are spinning their web across the United States and have made Georgia their home. Joro spiders, native to East Asia, are notable for their vibrant appearance and sizable webs. These arachnids weave golden-hued webs that can be found on various structures, including trees and bushes. Although Joro spiders may appear intimidating due to their large size and intricate webs, they pose no significant danger to humans. Their bites are generally no worse than bee stings and are not fatal. The Joro spider, scientifically known as Trichonephila clavata, belongs to the Trichonephila genus along with other large orb-weaver spiders like the golden silk spider. Its species name, clavata, signifies its «club-shaped» abdomen. Unfortunately, Joro spiders have become an invasive species in the United States. They were initially discovered in Georgia in 2013 and have since spread to other southeastern states. It is believed that these spiders arrived in the US through shipping containers from Asia. While Joro spiders do not have detrimental effects on the environment, their abundance and webs can be visually displeasing to some individuals.
