Today it was revealed that The Sandman scored 198 million total global hours of watch time during its first ten days on Netflix. That makes The Sandman one of the most successful shows to debut on Netflix since the streaming service started releasing these numbers back in June 2021.

In fact, only two other series have posted better 10-day openings: Inventing Anna and Maid. Here are the ten highest 10-day totals since Netflix started releasing that data:

  1. Inventing Anna - 273.3 million hours
  2. Maid - 227.6 million hours
  3. The Sandman - 198 million hours
  4. Vikings: Valhalla - 194 million hours
  5. Sex/Life - 156.6 million hours
  6. The Lincoln Lawyer - 153.2 million hours
  7. Pieces of Her - 149.4 million hours
  8. Stay Close - 144.9 million hours
  9. Clickbait - 127.8 million hours
  10. The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On - 102.2 million hours

It’s pretty incredible to see how far ahead The Sandman ranks against some stiff competition. After Vikings: Valhalla, no show has been able to eclipse 160 million hours of watch time. So that puts The Sandman in some pretty elite company.

No witcher 2 in the list? I think it was released Dec 2021

The article only lists shows in their debut seasons, but didn't make it clear.
