Stranger Things, Black Mirror, 13 Reasons Why and Orange is the New Black are among the most popular shows of Netflix. However, it is When They See Us, Ava DuVernay’s adaptation of the unjust arrest and conviction of five black teenagers in New York City after a rape in Central Park 20 years ago, which raced ahead to become the most-viewed series on streaming giant every day since its premiere.
On Wednesday, Netflix took to Twitter to share the information and wrote, "'When They See Us' has been the most-watched series on Netflix in the US every day since it premiered on May 31."
However, it did not give away any figures or any additional information beyond that. The director retweeted the same with her one-word response. "Faints," she wrote. She also posted a GIF video of the cast applauding from the series and wrote, "On behalf of all the artists who made this series, thank you for watching."
