“Love Is Blind” has spent four weeks on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 fueled by the episodic release of its sixth season, and had its second No. 1 week in a row between March 4 and March 10. The reality dating series was watched for 1.5 billion minutes during this viewing window, which included the release of the Season 6’s climactic twelfth episode.
Though that 1.5 billion minutes includes viewership of all seasons of the reality dating series during the week, Nielsen says that over one third of the tally was attributable to the wedding episode, which itself saw half of its viewership on the exact day of its release. Though Netflix is known for its binge releases, “Love Is Blind” is undeniable evidence of the potential for success with segmented drops.
In second place was a movie: Netflix’s “Damsel,” starring Millie Bobby Brown, which debuted with 1.2 billion minutes watched in its first three days of availability.

Netflix’s The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping is occasionally as hard to watch as it is impossible to ignore. Directed by Katherine Kubler, a former “student” of the troubled-teen-repair institution, the limited documentary series uncovers the appalling conditions of the now-defunct and abandoned Ivy Ridge boarding academy located in the wilds of Oswegatchie, New York.
Kubler attended or was incarcerated in Ivy Ridge from March 2004 to June 2005. She entered at age 15, kidnapped abruptly against her will in the middle of the night on the grievous charge of sipping a Mike’s Hard Lemonade at a previous school. Facing an unbelieving father, Kubler feels the forcefully-abandoned experience she endured stole her teenage years, and continues to embezzle large deposits from her adult psyche. Her post-traumatic stress and persistent panic attacks are a constant reminder of damage that cannot be undone.
Except maybe through long-form journalism. Kubler self-effacingly calls herself an “amateur gumshoe,...
