Controversial six-part limited docuseries Harry & Meghan drew nearly 81.6 million viewing hours on Netflix in its first four days on the platform, a strong debut for the unscripted show about the dissonant British royals that comes as the disappointing season 5 of The Crown slipped further in its fifth week to just 18.9 million viewers.
Netflix said Harry & Meghan had the platform's biggest documentary debut ever -- which might be worth a mocking, disrespectful curtsy from the Duchess of Sussex in and of itself.
Meanwhile, Wednesday drew 269.7 million viewing hours in its third week on Netflix, making it the platform's top show for the week of Dec. 5-11. It's now the platform's second best English-language TV series performer in its first 28 days on the platform, capturing just over 1 billion viewing hours in just two weeks of release.
With 14 days left in the four-week debut window, the whimsical Addams Family spinoff trails all-time English-language series leader Stranger Things: Season 4 by about 330 million viewing hours.
