Reacher has already proven to be a force to be reckoned with on-screen, so it doesn't come as much of a surprise that he's smashing every other streaming series in the Nielsen Ratings.
After a fantastic first season, the second season of Prime Video's Reacher was among the most anticipated shows of the past year. However, no one would have expected the thriller series to dominate the streaming charts like it did. In its premiere week alone, the series amassed an astounding 1.2 billion viewing minutes, according to Nielsen's metrics.
What makes this achievement particularly interesting, is the fact that it was accomplished in just the first three episodes. Such a strong showing not only makes Reacher a formidable contender in the streaming space but it's also reflective of the audiences' appetite for high-octane, character-driven stories, especially those where the protagonist is a walking, talking tank with a moral compass.
On another front, Percy Jackson and the Olympians seems to have finally found its audience. With only 80 minutes of content (yes, just two episodes), it still managed to enchant enough viewers to rank fourth among streaming originals. Clearly, audiences have been craving the return of the demigods of Camp Half-Blood, and Disney+ has answered the call.
