Now after three weeks since its debut, “Wednesday” has amassed 752.5 million hours of views. It is already the 3rd most watched English language TV title in Netflix history behind “Stranger Things” season 4 and “Dahmer-Monster: The Jeffery Dahmer Story.”
“Wednesday” had also surpassed Netflix’s popular series, “The Crown.” The first two episodes of “The Crown” managed to hit 2.81 million and 2.87 million viewers respectively, meaning that they were nearly a million views short of “Wednesday.”
“I like the plot twists. It’s very mysterious and keeps you on your toes with not knowing who the monster is. I also like how you are also trying to figure out who the monster is while Wednesday is trying to figure it out,” explained sophomore, Clarisa Peñaloza.
