Netflix Releases Most-Watched List in the UK
by EG
Netflix still won't release credible viewership numbers for any of its content, but it's recently been releasing a weekly list of its most-watched content in the UK. It doesn't tell us much about anything other than how the service's programs are faring relative to each other (and that very little of the streamer's original content makes the list). But it's better than nothing. Read on for details.

Riverdale has leapt over Christina Applegate’s Dead To Me to become the most watched Netflix title of the week in the UK.
The CW’s teen drama, which is based on the Archie Comics character, moved from number to the top spot. It’s a notable success for the KJ Apa and Lili Reinhart-fronted series, which was recently renewed for a fourth season by the U.S. network.
CBS TV Studios’ Dead To Me, which was number one in last week’s chart, remains in second with The Fate of the Furious, also known as Fast & Furious 8, crashing in at number three following its launch last week.
Marc Webb’s mystery drama The Society and prison reality series Jailbirds are also new entries to the top ten along with 21 Jump Street.
It is Netflix’s third most-watched list in the UK and it appears that the SVOD service is running the experiment on a weekly basis.
