‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Dethroned In Netflix’s Top 10 List By A New Show

I have been writing a lot of columns where I talk about which new Netflix show has supplanted the old champion

[{"selector":"#anim-dbc6c2ac-b1f3-4683-b262-7397e015bd65","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.96816%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9463a0e7-e9a3-4083-899a-5228b193efbb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9d735572-4aaa-46dc-911f-604ef8f1659b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fdeeaf66-35d9-41f6-ad4a-df8a40170c52 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.179687404002955%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

Stranger Things season 4 has dethroned The Lincoln Lawyer, which has been on top since its debut both in the US and in many other countries.

Despite the years-later season 4 debut, Stranger Things was creeping up the top 10 list already as people watched old episodes in preparation for the season 4 debut.

[{"selector":"#anim-02c322d6-054b-4858-a01b-8e75d653f1f6 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c2e22ed9-b482-4ad8-a7b5-222ab587f6c3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-99.51574%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53f82c7d-900a-4962-b179-805425f35840","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-24a23795-f991-4b9a-8fe4-95c02546d700","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b3ad42c9-7e7e-45f7-b948-36893b79cf87","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.19048%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5d33ba20-4c61-46ad-8f5a-e34c513c448c","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eb1652e5-8f85-4421-868c-ee3847fdd0a6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Now that the fourth season has premiered, the first seven episodes have taken the top spot a day after their debut.

[{"selector":"#anim-bef45dab-53ea-400a-8796-4ef37d683bed","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-997d02c3-a9bd-4e57-b3ad-773d8b2a28db","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-eeebe85b-0cc5-4d17-b432-c55eeb7e9fed","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3cdd051b-39c3-4bc8-a373-40459eabb77e [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(42.362975960472255%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

During Stranger Things season 4, there are seven long episodes followed by a month-long break, followed by two enormous episodes totaling four hours in July.

[{"selector":"#anim-0f3f3a04-9729-4e22-b1ee-a3c36d1b50e3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.45741%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8082636d-875d-4256-b93a-d9a1cc34c0b2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c87f8db-201f-4eb7-8fab-d84e389e8eda","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b07ebc35-a2cd-46cc-a89f-9df3206dfe3d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(9.137476983388403%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

There's still a promise of a fifth season after this, where we know for certain that's the last episode of the series. Minus if there's a spin-off.

[{"selector":"#anim-d9bcfbbf-9de4-4bfa-9c65-0eb2fcf3f484 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.633043158933855%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62243d41-657c-4bb9-bec7-b2f0f9a986ae","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.14196%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-be92ad81-65c9-4079-af4b-a0ed0ea12552","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7433820c-50fc-422f-89bf-df69a243c9bb","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

It may seem like it's the format of a show coming to a close, but that's not the case.

[{"selector":"#anim-a92f9109-574c-4dc9-b07a-9ab6652a8020","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.34426%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1603b48d-fd3f-4a55-8903-6f7cea84fba9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d6bc834e-4a6a-430a-bcbb-d0ff367033da","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cb97b6c6-9fd8-417a-87b9-67089e8e73bb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.179687404002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

There are reports that the split was due to production issues, but I'm sure Netflix will also enjoy chatting about Stranger Things a month from now rather than the usual binge-and-forget model they have now.

[{"selector":"#anim-331bde50-448a-4a58-862f-2c4830e9a792 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.22187490425895%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c47fff49-1103-42ab-aeb2-b6438e6aa744","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.37705%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b6d69e5e-1e46-4642-9481-247daa805e1a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fa96b26e-75d8-4bfe-bc07-17f2429eca13","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

With such long episodes, I would expect Stranger Things to stay on top for at least a solid week, if not more, as it will take most people a while to finish this first part of the season.

[{"selector":"#anim-cfc2ab35-5756-4bfb-b1ee-9f80a9b1046a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.246337776828504%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ca6bf1d3-7ab9-471b-8abc-b0d5892deb0d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-119.34426%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c622a7b6-e098-49d8-9cff-c650907acb32","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2c287264-7cd2-4529-8926-d9aa34792f52","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

As for The Lincoln Lawyer, it's just an unqualified success for Netflix, at least in terms of viewership.

[{"selector":"#anim-7e4dd77f-ca2c-46c7-bf8c-e65a861c7653 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-40.478515529002955%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-71d1eb2d-8d98-4c8e-a994-3aaab96af026","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-117.04918%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2962b2fb-787b-4f98-b9a6-c93e6fc36780","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e865683a-3ef9-4fa7-8563-a82e578ca180","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]
