The Lincoln Lawyer reaches No. 1 on Netflix’s weekly streaming chart
Lincoln’s lawyer started life at CBS, but the network ultimately decided not to bring the series to life.
Netflix stepped in to save the day, and it looks like the move was a hit for the streaming service.
The legal drama launched at No. 2 on Netflix’s weekly streaming charts last week, and it climbed to the top spot this week.
The series became the most-watched English-language drama series worldwide for the week of May 16-22, with over 109 million hours viewed.
Those numbers are great, but the real test will be whether the series can keep up the pace in the weeks to come.
We’ve seen plenty of Netflix shows make stellar premieres, only to quickly fall out of the top 10.
If the series continues to hold up, we should get a renewal.
Lincoln’s Advocate stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson and Christopher Gorham.
Season 1 of Stranger Things has entered the list with 9.49 million hours watched as the streamer prepares to launch its fourth season.
Ozark’s fourth and final season was in second place with 31.4 million viewing hours.
The latest season of the thriller starring Jason Bateman and Laura Linney also rose to ninth place on Netflix’s list of most popular English TV shows.
Elsewhere on the English list:
– Bridgerton Season 2 at 13.66 million hours viewed
– The Circle Season 4 at 15.44 million hours viewed
– Bling Empire Season 2 at 15.23 million hours viewed
– Workin’ Moms Season 6 at 12.74 million hours viewed
On the non-English speaking television side, the third and final season of Who Killed Sara? appeared in the Top 10 in 68 countries.
The series achieved 46.59 million viewing hours.
