Wow, I didn’t see this coming. That’s what I thought Stranger thingswhich Netflix just announced had its biggest English-language premiere of all time, has already lost its No. 1 spot on Netflix’s top 10 list less than a week after its release.
How did that happen? The new #1 show that has supplanted this one is a documentary about the fallen Sean “Diddy” Combs Sean Combs: The Reckoning. Here’s the summary:
“With unprecedented access in the days before his arrest in 2024, this documentary series deeply explores the rise and fall of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
It lasts four episodes, almost all of which are an hour long. Three of them cover his backstory, although the third episode starts to get allegations about abusive relationships. Then the finale features some accusers talking about claims of abuse that ultimately led to his arrest, trial and conviction.
In October, Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison, including 12 months. In recent days there has been a bizarre series of ‘leaked’ prison footage of Combs at Fort Dix prison, attributed to TMZ, but these were created by AI after Google recently launched a photorealistic generation tool. Wild times.
Even though this is a high-profile case and series of crimes, I’m still somewhat surprised that it was successful Stranger things down. Admittedly, fans of this show were so excited to watch it after three years that they probably immediately threw it all away. And it was only four episodes, with three more coming on Christmas Day and the two-hour finale on New Year’s Eve, so it will clearly be back at the top in the coming weeks. It may go back to number 1 once people get through the Diddy documentary.
At #3 we have a Christmas comedy special from Matt Rife, a controversial comedian to say the least. Former number 1 The beast in me is only #5, but as a miniseries it’s not looking for a season 2 renewal at all. Newcomer, the Licensed Series Victoria is at number 7 with three seasons to watch, covering the entire 2019 series.
December will mainly be one of them Stranger thingsand I expect to hear about possible spin-offs, although obviously that will all wait until after the finale. I don’t think Netflix is willing to let this property go if it puts these kinds of numbers on the market, even though its creators, the Duffer brothers, will be leaving for Paramount soon. We’ll see what happens there.
Let me know how the Diddy documentary is. I don’t think I can bear it myself.
