The series titled “Adolescence” has demonstrated strong performance on the Netflix streaming service. According to figures released by Netflix on their official website, the show accumulated 141.2 million views and 541.4 million hours viewed within its first 80 days of availability.
Netflix typically tracks performance metrics for the initial 91-day window following a title`s release. Therefore, “Adolescence” still has a short period to potentially improve its standing. However, it is considered improbable that it will surpass the viewership of “Wednesday”, which recorded 252.1 million views.
As of the time this information was published, “Adolescence” holds the distinction of being the second most popular English-language series on Netflix. Across all languages, it ranks fourth overall on the platform.
The shows that rank higher than “Adolescence” in the overall list are both seasons of the hit series “Squid Game” (with 265.2 million and 192.6 million views for season 1 and 2 respectively, based on the original data). The premiere date for “Adolescence” was March 13.
The plot of the series centers on a British teenager who becomes a prime suspect in the murder of a classmate. The narrative explores challenging themes such as juvenile crime, the impact of bullying, and delves into aspects of incel subcultures.
