Most popular TV shows on Netflix last week

The latest list of most-watched television shows on Netflix contains a book adaptation, a celebrity roast, and a double dose of comedian John Mulaney.

Sports fans are talking about the best jokes from "The Roast of Tom Brady," which dropped on May 5 and has comedians and other public figures piling on the famous New England Patriots quarterback. As Brady is often called the "Greatest of All Time," the Netflix special has the moniker of "The Greatest Roast of All Time." Kevin Hart served as the host, with Jeff Ross as the "roastmaster general." The ceremony featured guests including his former teammate Rob Gronkowski, his former coach Bill Belichick, and Patriots owner Robert Kraft. Though the often crass and no-holds-barred jokes targeted Brady's divorce, his multiple "retirements," and health regiment, the one joke that Brady objected to was that dared bring up Kraft's arrest for an incident at a day spa.

Also in the comedy world is "John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in L.A.," a limited series talk show defined by its unpredictability and cavalcade of guest stars. The first episode featured comedian Jerry Seinfeld to promote his Netflix film "Unfrosted." He sat next to a wildlife advocate named Tony Tucci, who provided commentary on coyotes. Celebrities like Will Ferrell also showed up unannounced for comedy bits, while experts like seismologists and paeloecologists also give viewers a unique dose of L.A. knowhow. Actor Richard Kind provides his distinct voice as the show's announcer and sidekick. Mulaney also features in another top-watched TV program as the next subject of "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman," appearing as a guest in a new special episode that dropped on April 30.

Taking a more serious tone is "A Man in Full," a six-part miniseries based on a 1998 Tom Wolfe novel of the same name. Created by David E. Kelley ("Big Little Lies") and directed by Regina King and Thomas Schlamme, the adaptation stars Jeff Daniels as real estate mogul Charlie Croker. Once Croker suddenly faces bankruptcy, those around him smell the blood and attempt to capitalize. Croker attempts to defend his business empire at any cost from a cast of characters played by actors including Diane Lane, who portrays his ex-wife; Lucy Liu; Tom Pelphrey; and William Jackson Harper. As seen in the opening scene of the show, which premiered on May 2, it doesn't end well for Croker.
