EXPLAINED: How Lucifer Overpowered Squid Game, Bridgerton, and Cobra Kai to Become the Most-Watched Series on Netflix

Developed by A.C Nielsen in the 1950s, the Nielsen ratings of American
television shows have always been a much-awaited rating system in the industry
ever since. And the results this year were shocking, to say the least. Lucifer
outperformed the likes of Squid Game, Bridgerton, and Cobra Kai to become the
most-watched series in terms of viewership.


HOW DO THE NIELSEN RATINGS WORK?

Being an established brand name with a reputation to uphold, Nielsen Ratings do
not compromise on the quality of content they deliver. Keep in mind that these
ratings have nothing to do with reviews. These ratings are based purely on
numbers, statistics, and consumer viewing behavior.

Nielsen Television Measurement study all there is to analyze about consumers and
information related to their viewing behavior. From finding out which members of
a household view what kind of shows to finding out programs they all watch
together, these ratings cover every book and corner in the field. This helps
service providers redefine and target their products with more ease and
accuracy.

While Netflix [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/squid-game/] has its own rating
system, the Nielsen ratings still aren’t inconsequential. They help viewers gain
insight into what they are viewing, considering how discreet Netflix keeps its
data.


HOW WAS LUCIFER AHEAD OF OTHER SHOWS?

Nielsen [https://www.nielsen.com/us/en/top-ten/] rates series through
“electronic metering technology” using tools that analyze all of the aspects
we’ve mentioned above.

Lucifer [https://www.netflix.com/title/80057918] appeared on Fox broadcast
network before it set foot on Netflix. Since the viewership is measured in terms
of the number of minutes viewers spend on the show, Lucifer instantly fared
well.

Squid Game [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/squid-game/], although a leading show,
has only 9 episodes of about an hour each. Despite this, the show boasts a
viewership of  16.4 billion minutes. As for Lucifer, it has a total of 93
episodes that have garnered a viewership of 18.3 billion minutes. If we break
down these numbers, each episode of Lucifer still has around 1/18th viewership
as that of Squid Game.
