One of Netflix’s most unexpected recent hits has outperformed the far more mainstream sci-fi title The Boroughs, executive-produced by the Duffer Brothers. The Boroughs has accumulated around 20 million views in three weeks, while Netflix’s sleeper hit crime drama has generated nearly 30 million views in four weeks. It’s no longer among the streamer’s most-watched titles, according to FlixPatrol, but the latest Nielsen report reveals just how well it did when it was released. Nielsen typically shares streaming data a few weeks after the fact, which is why its latest report tracks the week of May 11 to May 17. The show in question premiered on May 14, which means that this is its first appearance on the Nielsen chart.
The latest chart was topped by The Roast of Kevin Hart, which accumulated 1.3 billion minutes watched. It was followed by the final season of Prime Video’s The Boys, which surpassed 1 billion minutes watched again as it headed toward its final episode on May 20. Netflix’s new sleeper hit debuted at the number three spot, outperforming Taylor Sheridan’s Dutton Ranch, the second season of The Pitt, and Apple TV’s breakout hit Your Friends & Neighbors. In its first week, the Netflix hit generated more than 830 million minutes watched.

Sheridan Has Spoken You Belong In…
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.

You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.

You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.

Netflix Has a New Sleeper Hit on Its Hands
We’re talking, of course, about Nemesis. The crime drama follows a cat-and-mouse chase between a dogged detective and a career criminal in Los Angeles. Created by Power alum Courtney A. Kemp along with Tani Marole, Nemesis received mostly positive reviews upon release. It now holds a 76% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Playing slow and steady with its cat-and-mouse game, Nemesis thrives on intensely committed performances, well-executed action sequences, and the ability to entertain with an assured absurdity that doesn’t hinder its watchability.” In her review, Collider’s Jasneet Singh wrote that the show “offers some unforgettable action sequences with daring performances.” You can watch Nemesis on Netflix, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
