Couple of things from Nielsen's latest ratings report: Tyler Perry's Beauty in Black has over 1 billion minutes viewed on Netflix, yet I haven't seen much press talking about it. And BBC America's Canadian sci fi series Orphan Black, which ended in 2017, is ranked 7th overall.

"He dared to oppose our great leader Bernie!" is a major factor. It's also why many of those folks were whole hog Fetterman over Lamb. Their single issue is "did they support Bernie in 2016?"
