AMC made a bet earlier this year that licensing a number of its shows to Netflix would help them find more viewers. That bet appears to have paid off.

Two AMC shows, Dark Winds and A Discovery of Witches, are among the top 10 streaming titles for the week of Aug. 19-25. They were added to Netflix at the beginning of that week as part of a deal struck in July to place about a dozen AMC shows on the service, complete with branding as the “AMC Collection.” (The shows will be available for 12 months.)

It’s not new territory for AMC, which partially credited Netflix for a huge spike in ratings for Breaking Bad’s final season and has also licensed The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul, among others, to the streamer in the past.

“The Accident” and “The Union” were the most-watched streaming originals in the U.S. by far during the week of Aug. 23-29, per Luminate.

“The Accident” led TV titles with 782 million minutes watched throughout the window, which marked its first full week of availability, while “The Union” was the top movie and top title overall, hitting 813.5 million minutes watched. Aug. 23-29 marked the Halle Berry-Mark Wahlberg film’s second full week of availability on the chart; it was No. 1 with 1.7 billion minutes watched on the previous chart.

The second-most-watched title on the TV chart was “Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War,” which hit 500.2 million minutes watched in its first full week of streaming. “American Murder: Laci Peterson” had its second week on the chart, dropping to third place with 446.9 million minutes watched after its No. 1, billion-minute debut the week before.

The next three spots also went to repeat titles: "Love Is Blind: UK" (No.

Don't let anyone tell you Westerns are dead. They're apparently still alive and well on Netflix, where this week the docudrama "Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War" has been steadily climbing the streaming charts.
