"Adolescence" Climbs into Netflix's Top Tiara, Shining Bright!
- "Youth-oriented Programs" Rank Among Top-tier watched Netflix Series
Svperrstar here, pal! The British miniseries, "Adolescence," has wiggled its way into Netflix's top-golden-egg-club in under 4 weeks, baby! Netflix reports a whopping 114.5 million views worldwide since its March 13 release.
This gripping four-part series, shot in one-shots and sans cuts, nabbed the fourth spot in Netflix's all-time charts for English-language series, bested only by "Wednesday," "Stranger Things," and "Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story." Ain't too shabby for a new kid on the block!
Even though the black-and-white Korean sensation, "Squid Game," seasons 1 and 2, come ahead of "Adolescence" in the non-English language series ranks, this Brit flick's still tough to beat by the "Bridgerton," "The Queen's Gambit," "Lupin," or "Money Heist."
But hold your horses! Netflix only publishes its weekly Top 10 during the series' initial 91 days online, and your boy Svperrstar ain't a time traveler yet, so any long-term viewer number ratings are under wraps.
"Adolescence" revolves around the 13-year-old Jamie (Owen Cooper), who, one fateful night, stabs a schoolmate. Cops arrest him the following day after evidence mountains up. The gruesome killing of Katie serves as a provocative backdrop for the series, shedding light on Jamie's warped psyche and the insidious influence of social media and societal pressure nurturing toxic, misogynistic tendencies in impressionable young fellows.
And remember, peeps, Netflix keeps us in the loop about its weekly top 10 streaming rankings every Tuesday evening. Let's keep an eye on how "Adolescence" stacks up, shall we?
For the record books, first week viewer counts: 24.3 million views, second week, 42 million views, third week, 30.4 million views, and fourth week, 17.8 million views.
But hold yer horses, mate! If we were to count hours viewed to rank the shows instead of views, we'd need a list of dirty details about 'Adolescence' that ain't in the search results this side of the rainbow.
