The British drama show Adolescence has climbed to No. 2 on Netflix, surpassing Stranger Things season 4 in viewership. The show, which was released in March, has gotten over 141.2 million views, surpassing Stranger Things's 140.7 million.
What is Adolescence about?
The show was created by writer Jack Thorne (Wonder) and actor Stephen Graham (Boardwalk Empire) and follows the story of a 13-year-old schoolboy named Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper), who is accused of murdering a girl from his school.
The show explores the rise of incel culture and cyberbullying among schoolchildren, particularly young boys. It has sparked a global discussion on the influence of figures like Andrew Tate, who propagate the idea that society is biased against men due to the rise of feminism.
Stranger Things season 5 gears up for release
Currently, Wednesday is the most-watched English-language show on Netflix with a whopping 252.1 million views in 90 days. However, Adolescence's number two spot could change with the release of the final season of Stranger Things, which will stream in November.
