Stranger Things has now spent eleven consecutive weeks at the top of the TV demand charts.
Netflix’s most popular show ever has come in 95.08 points above market average in Australia and 51.96 points above average in New Zealand, a fall from the previous week, but still well above its closest competitor.
Similarly to Stranger Things, Amazon Prime’s The Boys has consistently remained at the same spot for eight weeks. The superhero series has enjoyed another week at #2 in Australia (24.9) and New Zealand’s (19.98) digital original series, however, in overall TV shows, the series has been overtaken by Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul.
Season six of Better Call Saul has come in 29.16 points above average in Australia and 23.82 in New Zealand. Set primarily in the first half of the 2000s in New Mexico, the series develops Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk), an earnest lawyer and former con artist, into an egocentric criminal defence attorney known as Saul Goodman.
Placing third in Australia and New Zealand’s digital originals for a second week is Hulu’s season two of Only Murders In The Building, with 19.54 and 13.87 points, respectively. The series is a mystery-comedy that follows three strangers played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, who share an obsession with a true crime podcast. Following a suspicious death in their affluent Upper West Side apartment building, the three neighbours start their own podcast about their investigation of the death, which the police ruled a suicide. The series has been renewed for a third season.
The Mandalorian has been bumped up the charts, placing fourth in Australia and sixth in New Zealand’s digital originals. The first live-action series in the Star Wars franchise had a difference of 18.89 in Australia and 11.82 in NZ.
Our Flag Means Death has come in at fifth in both Australia and New Zealand, falling from fourth last week. The series continues to rank well despite the season one finale airing at the end of March. The show had a difference of 18.48 in Australia and 12.74 in New Zealand.
In overall TV shows, Game Of Thrones ranked fourth with a difference of 23.53 in Australia and fifth with 19 points in New Zealand. Love Island UK bumped up one spot to third on the New Zealand TV demand charts with 21.1 points, while Sesame Street clocked fifth in Australia with 21.18 points.
