“Ratched” is Netflix’s top new series this year, the streaming service claimed on Friday.
The prequel to “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Next” from Ryan Muphy, which features Sarah Paulson as a younger Mildred Ratched, was viewed by 48 million households within its first 28 days, the streaming service said on Friday. That would make it its top new series of 2020.
Nielsen seems to agree. In the ratings measurement service’s own weekly Top 10 list of streaming programs, “Ratched” claimed the top spot on this week’s list, which covers Sept. 14 – Sept. 20. Nielsen ranks programs by total minutes viewed.
