The viewing figures are in: Tina Fey’s The Four Seasons has been a massive hit. Despite a slow start on Netflix, it’s suddenly rocketed up to the top of the streamers’ in-house rankings, garnered rave reviews and caused a significant amount of internet controversy with its twist ending (no spoilers here).
