- All five seasons re-entered Netflix’s global Top 10 simultaneously for the first time, underscoring the franchise’s deep library pull.
- Third‑party panel data from Samba TV showed roughly 3.2 million U.S. households watched Episode 1 over Thanksgiving, with 39% binging all available episodes within 48 hours.
- Industry comparisons place the launch just below recent Squid Game season debuts, and analysts note Netflix’s shift from hours‑viewed to views complicates direct season‑to‑season comparisons.
- Within a week of release, the series fell to No. 2 on Netflix’s U.S. most‑popular list, overtaken by the four‑part documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
