Bob Odenkirk starrer ‘Breaking Bad’ spin-off series ‘Better Call Saul’ whose sixth and final season started steaming from 19th April on the Netflix OTT platform, has made it to Nielsen’s weekly top ten streaming charts.
‘Better Call Saul’ has garnered a massive 915 million minutes of viewing in the top ten streaming movies and shows list on Nielsen. The show holds the second spot on the coveted list and is only behind the period drama series ‘Bridgerton’, which has registered more than a whopping 1.6 billion minutes of viewing on Netflix.
Also on the Nielsen top ten streaming titles list is the recently concluded Marvel superhero series ‘Moon Knight’ starring Oscar Isaac in the lead role. The Disney Plus show was viewed for 608 million minutes as per Nielsen’s latest data.
Another interesting fact with respect to the latest Nielsen top ten streaming titles is that seven out of ten titles are steaming on the Netflix OTT platform. On the other hand, besides ‘Moon Knight’, the other two titles streaming on Disney Plus are the animated films ‘Encanto’ (611M minutes) and ‘Turning Red’ (564M minutes). While Netflix’s ‘Bridgerton’ has topped the list. So, Netflix has won this battle on Nielsen.
