Netflix has, in response, unveiled a list of the top 20 Netflix originals with seasons watched within the first 24 hours.
A practice that Netflix states has been around since its inception, but that’s particularly gained steam from 2013 onwards, with the number of binge racers increasing more than 20 times over.
Netflix has always shrouded itself in a level of secrecy when it comes to viewing figures – a safeguard, perhaps, which shields them against public disappointment if one of their highly-touted projects flop.
One thing, however, that they’ll proudly unveil is the number of subscribers who have succumbed to the ever-present allure of what they’ve termed the ‘binge racer’, with a staggering 8.4 million having consumed an entire series within 24 hours.
