These days Netflix is clearly winning over the documentary scene, as the platform takes all the hottest topics and the wildest real-life stories and tells them to the curious audience. Every month docs are prominent members of the platform’s global top.
It gets even more captivating when a documentary film follows the true criminal events, especially those that are yet unsolved and happening right now. That is why the doc that is now holding the fifth place in Netflix’s chart gained such a strong viewership.
The three-episode series starts by introducing us to Miranda and Melanie Wilking, who are famous as TikTok dancers and influencers. The sisters gained millions of followers on social media and attracted the attention of many commercial brand deals.

The documentaries released in 2022 are a versatile mix. Sure, the year saw the expected Netflix true-crime series (including the return of the hit "Unsolved Mysteries" reboot) and celebrations of trailblazers, but we also got the light-hearted, high-spirited stories of unbelievable fraudsters ("The Tinder Swindler"), deeply disturbing stories of human evil ("Our Father"), and scandalous stories of corporate evil ("White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch").
The genre is in undergoing a bit of a boom. For lovers of non-fiction filmmaking, it feels like we have more options now than ever. Last year's critical hit "Flee" redefined what a documentary film looks like, paving the way for the critically acclaimed Canadian animated documentary, "Eternal Spring (長春)." Apple TV+ released a speculative nature documentary series depicting an imagined cretaceous period with "Prehistoric Planet." Neon's trippy indie hit "Moonage Daydream" celebrates David Bowie in a manner wholly unique and fitting for the experimental pop star.

Stranger Things‘ “demotion” to No. 2 on Nielsen’s U.S. ranking of streaming originals did not last long at all, as the release of Season 4’s final two episodes (totalling nearly four hours in running time!) propelled the Netflix hit back to the top spot.
With all 34 produced episodes now eligible, Stranger Things amassed 5.9 billion minutes viewed for the week of June 27. Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy (aka last week’s champ) in turn slipped to No. 2, with 2.2 billion minutes viewed across 30 total episodes.

After four record-breaking weeks, Stranger Things was dethroned from the No. 1 spot in Nielsen’s streaming rankings.
Another Netflix series, The Umbrella Academy, took the lead for the week of June 20-26. Its third season premiered June 22, and the show racked up 2.45 billion minutes of viewing time for the week. That was just enough to push Stranger Things (2.33 billion minutes, down from 2.95 billion a week earlier) down to second place.
It may just be a one-week hiatus at No. 1 for Stranger Things, however, as the final two episodes of season four debuted on July 1 and will be included in the next set of Nielsen rankings.

“Stranger Things” continues to rule in its third week of availability, as Nielsen’s latest Top 10 streaming rankings — for the week of June 13 through June 19 — showed it on top of the charts with nearly 3 billion minutes of viewing.
As the binge subsides, that’s a dip from the previous week’s 4.2 billion minutes (and week one’s 7.2 billion minutes broke Nielsen’s record for the most-viewed title in a single week). It’s sure to continue to come back down to earth — until measurement begins to include viewership of the show’s final two episodes, which dropped on July 1. That’s likely to rocket the show back up — thanks to Volume 2’s combined four hours.
As previously noted, included in Nielsen’s measurement of the week are the nine hours that make up Season 4 Volume 1, which debuted May 27 on Netflix, as well as all three previous seasons.
Meanwhile, rocketing to No.

Stranger Things remained a clear No. 1 in the streaming rankings for the fourth straight week, but a new show took the second spot overall.
Peaky Blinders ascended to the No. 2 slot following the release of its final season on Netflix (it’s a BBC show in the U.K. but a Netflix original in the United States). The period crime drama had 904 million minutes of viewing time for the week of June 13-19, up 42 percent from 635 million the previous week. That’s the best showing Peaky Blinders has had in the 22 months Nielsen has been releasing weekly rankings.
The previous second-place finisher, The Boys, declined some to 795 million minutes of watch time (vs. 919 million a week earlier). That was still good for third among original series, ahead of Obi-Wan Kenobi on Disney+ (733 million minutes). The Melissa McCarthy-Ben Falcone comedy God’s Favorite Idiot debuted...

Season 3 of “The Umbrella Academy” has surpassed “Stranger Things” as the globally most-viewed English-language series on Netflix this week. The Emmy-nominated series starring Elliot Page and Tom Hopper took the top spot ahead of the release of “Stranger Things” Season 4, Vol. 2 this Friday.
Since its Season 3 premiere on June 22, “The Umbrella Academy” has racked up 124,530,000 viewing hours, while “Stranger Things” Season 4 had 76,910,000 hours viewed this week. “The Umbrella Academy” topped the U.S. charts, as well, pushing the final season of the Mille Bobby Brown–led thriller to second place.
One thing is clear: Audiences want more of “The Umbrella Academy.” But despite the series’ growing fandom, showrunner Steve Blackman told TheWrap that it’s possible the series comes to its conclusion at the end of the next season.
“I think if we got to Season 4, it would be a great ending for the run of the show,” Blackman revealed.
