Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ kicking up NetFlix ( $NFLX) as a Content is King player
The thesis this article raises about the connection between the appeal in Donald Trump with some Americans, our desire to return to a time when things were simpler and happier (the Reagan Years) and the success of the new series “Stranger Things” from Netflix is certainly an interesting, if not entertaining read. But what caught out attention were the stats on viewership of the series in just a little over two weeks time (see below), it’s why players such as Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon (AMZN) are winning across multiple themes we track.
“Stranger Things,” its latest original series, has far outpaced other Netflix originals in viewership. In the first 16 days, 8.2 million people watched the science fiction drama, putting it far ahead of hits like “House of Cards,” “Daredevil,” and “Jessica Jones.”
