Up until last year, we were only discussing one Netflix show, Baby Reindeer, for how great it was – its storyline, its natural progression, its stark realism. We now have another show that has taken to everyone’s fancy and it’s Adolescence.

Adolescence is now most popular on Netflix

The crime drama series about a teenage boy who stabs his classmate and gets arrested for murder - has shocked everyone and there is not a single person who is not talking about it. Without any big-budget marketing campaigns and over-the-top advertisements for the series, Adolescence has caught the attention of people who are constantly looking for new content.

This has also transformed into numbers and the show is now rising in popularity. The series has joined Netflix’s list of its most popular English-language TV series of all time at No. 9 with 96.7 million views thus far, pushing Stranger Things Season 3 (94.8 million) down to No. 10 and knocking Bridgerton Season 2 (93.8 million) off the list.
