It may have been savaged by critics and commentators alike, but the first “volume” of Harry & Meghan has become the most-watched documentary title in a single week on Netflix.
The streaming service claims the first three episodes of the six-part series, which were released on December 8, have smashed previous viewing records.“Volume I of the unprecedented and in-depth documentary seriesdebuted with 81.55 million hours viewed, the highest view hours of any documentary title in a premiere week,” the streamer said.
“The series from Oscar-nominated director Liz Garbus appeared in the Top 10 TV list in 85 countries, including number one in the United Kingdom. After just four days, over 28 million households have seen the first three episodes.” That figure was arrived at by dividing the viewing hours by the total run-time . There is, of course, no guarantee that everyone who started watching the first episode was still hanging in there by the end of episode three – nor that they will return when the second tranche of episodes drops on Thursday night.
described as “a multi-year deal ... for scripted series, docuseries, documentaries, features and children’s programming”, Netflix is understandably keen to sell the idea that the show has been an “unprecedented” success.
