85 million households watched a least two minutes of Netflix original movie 'Spenser Confidential.' 65 million households checked out Spanish language series 'La Casa de Papel,' also known as 'Money Heist.' 64 million people watched 'Tiger King.'
, and as you might expect in a new global society where so many people are stuck at home, the numbers were massive. Netflix now has more than 183 million global customers after adding more than 15 million in the quarter.
It's true that Netflix pushes the boundaries of viewership measurement by counting anything over two minutes -- basically anything that's not accidental. It used to be that broadcast television was culture's bedrock. The highest rated TV shows of all time -- "Seinfeld," "American Idol," "M*A*S*H" -- and the highest rated TV mini-series of all time -- "The Thorn Birds," "Roots" -- all aired on broadcast networks.
Netflix is so confident as the established cultural mecca now, that it's publicly cheering for an end to coronavirus quarantines, even though it knows this will hurt its viewership metrics.
