‘Adolescence’ Tops Nielsen Charts; ‘The White Lotus’ & ‘Severance’ Reach New Series High Weekly Viewership

It should come as no surprise that Netflix’s Adolescence shot to the top of the Nielsen charts during the week of March 17 to March 23, when it racked up 1.44B in its first full week on the streamer.
Adolescence saw its watch time increase 59% over its debut weekend, per Nielsen, with adults 35-64 making up 56% of the audience.
Notably, The Residence came in second place after debuting on March 20, managing 1.36B minutes viewed.

Reacher fell to fourth place on the overall charts with 1.13B minutes viewed and was also the only other streaming original in the Top 5.
