Queen Charlotte is essentially the most watched English present on Netflix for the second week — would possibly this imply extra spin-offs?

Trying on the Netflix High 10 of English language exhibits for the week Could 8-14 exhibits Queen Charlotte at #1 with an viewers of 158,680,000 hours. Whilst you soak up that, add within the numbers for the earlier week, which rated 148,280,000 hours. Think about additionally the present launched mid-week, so this second quantity represents solely 4 days viewing.

What do these Queen Charlotte numbers imply?

First notice inside every week the massive hole from first to second. Now add collectively the weeklies, and the present has (in solely 11 days) gathered a complete viewers of over 300,000,000 hours. If you happen to scroll down the Netflix pages linked above, you’ll see the High 10 for the primary 28 days. The underside present (on the time of writing) is Inventing Anna with simply over 510,000,000 hours. Barring a dramatic drop in viewers, we predict it can enter the chart inside the subsequent two weeks, and end at round #7.

This may then imply three Shonda Rhimes Bridgerton exhibits within the High 10. If you happen to pop again to the primary hyperlink, you’ll see that final week not solely did Queen Charlotte high the chart, however each earlier seasons of Bridgerton additionally made appearances.

However is it any good?

Quick assessment — a should look ahead to any fan of Bridgerton. Checking with Rotten Tomatoes, it exhibits a 94% reviewer rating, although a lesser 70% viewers rating with over 500 viewers scores counted. We marvel if the depth of the King George a part of the collection was an excessive amount of for some viewers.

So what subsequent?

Whereas setup as a restricted collection, and telling a transparent story of Charlotte’s marriage via to the start of her first son, and masking attention-grabbing floor in Bridgerton period historical past, there are potentialities. We’d love a second season (have been there a transparent story) but in addition notice there’s lots for each Girl Dansbury and Violet Bridgerton to do, each in flashback and ‘present’ instances.

Whereas writer Julia Quinn has prevented digging too deeply into Violet’s story, this newest collection units up some free ends we’d fortunately see taken ahead.
