“Adolescence” was being talked about as this year’s “Baby Reindeer” when it first debuted, being another surprise hit Netflix limited series from the U.K. making huge ratings wins without a massive marketing campaign, but it’s now in a class of its own.
The series has joined Netflix’s list of its most popular English-language TV series of all time at No. 9 with 96.7 million views thus far, pushing “Stranger Things” Season 3 (94.8 million) down to No. 10 and knocking “Bridgerton” Season 2 (93.8 million) off the list.
The feat becomes even more impressive considering that “Adolescence” achieved the total in just 17 days. Netflix measures its most popular series lists accounting for 91 days of viewership, meaning “Adolescence” has more than two months to keep climbing higher.
More to come…
