Which season of Bridgerton was the most watched on Netflix: Bridgerton season 1 or Bridgerton season 3?
Bridgerton is one of Netflix's most successful shows of all time, with all three of its seasons in Netflix's top 10 of most-watched titles of all time (based on their first 91 days on the streamer). Bridgerton season 2 brings up the number 10 spot, but the other two series came in at no. 4 and no. 6, respectively, with the original Bridgerton season 1 the most-watched in the series. Bridgerton season 1 had 113.3 million views in its first 91 days (translating to 929.3 million hours), while Bridgerton season 3 was watched by 106 million subscribers (846.5 million hours).
Which award-winning Netflix limited series had a higher IMDb score: Baby Reindeer or The Queen’s Gambit?
Both Baby Reindeer and The Queen's Gambit are among Netflix's most acclaimed limited series to date, but which did the fans like more? According to user scores on IMDb, The Queen's Gambit, scoring an 8.5 out of 10, checkmates Baby Reindeer, which received a 7.7 out of 10. The Queen's Gambit is the 193 best TV show of all time per IMDb's user scores.
Which foreign language Netflix series has a higher Rotten Tomatoes score: Lupin or Squid Game?
Netflix subscribers have embraced some foreign language series, most notably the French crime drama Lupin and the South Korean thriller Squid Game. But who comes out on top when it comes to Rotten Tomatoes scores? Believe it or not, Lupin, with a score of 98% "Fresh," beats Squid Game and its 95% "Fresh" score. What makes this even more impressive is that Lupin is averaging 98% across its three seasons (its lowest scored a 96%). While Squid Game currently only has its one season, the score could increase or decrease depending on how Squid Game season 2 is received.
Which Netflix original won the most Emmys in a single year: Beef season 1 or The Crown season 4?
Netflix has been racking up Emmy awards for years now, including for many of the shows talked about above. But two of the most winningest shows at a single Emmys were Beef season 1, where it competed as an limited/anthology series (Beef season 2 is in the works), and The Crown season 4, which introduced iconic British figures Margaret Thatcher (played by Gillian Anderson) and Princess Diana (portrayed by Emma Corin) to the historical drama. Ultimately The Crown season 4 reigns supreme here, winning 11 Emmys, including Outstanding Drama Series; Beef was no slouch with eight Emmy wins in its first year.
