Bridgerton season 3 back at #1 — but I’m confused (not)

June 10-16 saw the second tranche of Bridgerton season 3, and the show is back on top of the weekly Top 10 views. Rather expected, but I note the audience views looks low — only 28,000,000 views, compared to around 45,000,000 for the first tranche. But. This now looks across eight episodes, not four, so it’s actually comparable and possibly better. Certainly more hours. But I’m … Continue reading Bridgerton season 3 back at #1 — but I’m confused (not)

Baby Reindeer beats Bridgerton season 3 into the Top 10

I’ve been so focused on watching Bridgerton season 3 part 1 as it edges into the all time Top 10 for English TV at Netflix (after 91 days), I overlooked the huge numbers for Baby Reindeer! While it’s held the first part of Polin’s love story back, part 2 is out today, and I expect a massive jump in audience and a guaranteed place in … Continue reading Baby Reindeer beats Bridgerton season 3 into the Top 10

Damsel is officially popular at Netflix

I’ve been waiting for Bridgerton season 3 to hit the all time Top 10 Netflix list for English TV, but this week’s observation is actually about Damsel. While I thought Millie Bobby Brown’s film was OK, it seems a lot of people have been watching it in the first 13 weeks and the film is now #8 on the all time Top 10 for English … Continue reading Damsel is officially popular at Netflix

The Boys or Bridgerton — what to watch in June?

My calendar is a little short of pertinent content for June, boiling down (at the time of writing) to Star Wars: Acolyte, The Boys season 4 and Bridgerton season 3 part II. I’m discounting Orphan Black: Echoes as that’s the US date and we in the UK already have the show on ITVX! I’ve had little luck sticking with never mind enjoying the various Star … Continue reading The Boys or Bridgerton — what to watch in June?

Bridgerton season 3 part I — some thoughts

Yes, I was one of the millions watching Bridgerton season 3 part I in the first week and was not disappointed. If you’re a fan, you won’t have been disappointed. It’s not perfect and I really don’t think breaking into two four-episode chunks a good idea, but there’s a lot to like. Production — back to the gorgeous compositions of season 1 One of the … Continue reading Bridgerton season 3 part I — some thoughts

Bridgerton still topping the Netflix Top 10

We’ve the first full week of Bridgerton season 3 part 1, and Polin’s romance still tops the Netflix Top 10 (ie week May 20-26, 2024). The halo effect has brought every other Bridgerton title into the chart, squeezing most other shows to one side. Baby Reindeer (which I’ve not watched) is still doing well, and Bodkin (which I’ve nearly finished) is holding on. Judge for … Continue reading Bridgerton still topping the Netflix Top 10

Bridgerton season 3 pt 1 dominates the Netflix Top 10

Bridgerton season 3 part 1 dropped on Netflix last week, and is already dominating the Top 10, while seasons 1 and 2 are still doing well (as they were the week previously). Elsewhere a decent showing for Bodkin, whereas Dead Boy Detectives has vanished from the chart. Baby Reindeer is also doing well. Here’s the chart (less runtime for space reasons): # TV (English) WEEKS … Continue reading Bridgerton season 3 pt 1 dominates the Netflix Top 10

Bodkin charts as the Dead Boys fade and Bridgerton returns

A look at this week’s Netflix Top 10 (copied below) is bleak reading for fans of The Dead Boy Detectives. The trend I saw last week continues, while new Siobhán Cullen show Bodkin appears mid-table. Given the minimal marketing for Bodkin, the numbers are fine. Also of interest is the return to the Top 10 of Bridgerton seasons 1 and 2 — today (as I … Continue reading Bodkin charts as the Dead Boys fade and Bridgerton returns

Dark Matter is my pick for May

Last month’s choice of Dead Boy Detectives turned out to be something I enjoyed, hopefully the same is true this month. My calendar isn’t packed with titles for May, and does hold Bridgerton season 3 part 1, but I’ll plump for Dark Matter. If you’ve not read my previous piece on Dark Matter, it’s another piece of Apple TV+’s ever-growing portfolio of science fiction. It’s … Continue reading Dark Matter is my pick for May

Six returning shows I’ll watch in 2024

New Years Day. The time to look forward, and here’s my list of six returning shows I will definitely watch in 2024. Surprisingly, despite my core interest in science fiction / genre / cult, it’s mostly feel good TV with little in the way of the supernatural, alien or temporally anomalous. Three feel good shows from the BBC It’s the same three shows every year … Continue reading Six returning shows I’ll watch in 2024
