Netflix Reveals 'Astounding' Viewership Data; 'Dead To Me', 'Our Planet', 'The Perfect Date' Score Big

It is almost suspicious looking at how streaming giant Netflix has been rather upfront about their viewership data these days considering how it has never been too keen on releasing them in the past. Of course, that doesn't take away from the massive success stories that shows like House of Cards, Stranger Things, Black Mirror and many more have been; but the recent revelations of the data may either leave you astounded or doubt its authenticity.

Nevertheless, apart from Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston starrer Murder Mystery apparently fetching great numbers, Netflix has revealed further data this past Wednesday of some of its ambitious and popular projects.

According to Deadline, its original docuseries Our Planet was watched by 33 million households. That makes the nature series, which scored 10 Emmy nominations yesterday, the streamer’s most-watched original docuseries to date.

The streamer has been a bit more forthcoming with viewership data of late. It recently said that When They See Us, Ava DuVernay’s four-part original series about the Central Park Five, was its most-watched series in the U.S. every day since through at least June 12. Today it said that total has reached 25M households in its first four weeks.

The Christina Applegate-Linda Cardellini starrer Dead To Me was watched by 30M households in its first month; the series, which scored Applegate an Emmy nom yesterday, has been renewed for a second season. Other notable numbers coming out of Netflix’s original movies over their first four weeks: The Ali Wong-Randall Park rom-com Always Be My Maybe was viewed by 32M households, while the Noah Centineo-starring The Perfect Date was at 48M.

Entirely true or not, you certainly cannot deny the mammoth giant that Netflix is and continues to hold strong.
