The buzz definitely worked, whatever its focus, and if new reports are to be believed, Stranger Things has been one of Netflix’s top three shows to date since its debut.
According to Symphony Advanced Media, Stranger Things slots into the third most-watched spot after 35 days of release, and an average of 14.07 million adults in the key 18-49 demographic tuned in.
Season 1 of Stranger Things is available for streaming on Netflix, and if you haven’t already told every single one of your non-hermit and non-animal friends about it by now, you’re doing it wrong.
It could have been a huge anomaly that an original genre series from largely unknown creators jumped above all of Netflix’s higher-profile projects, but Stranger Things has consistently brought people in.
