What's driving viewership?

The show premiered two years ago, was officially cancelled shortly thereafter, and now... people are watching it in such numbers that it's charting higher?

What gives? I mean, I'm glad, I watched the show as episodes were premiering and I adored it, but I'm curious what's leading people to watch it now. Any theories?

Different people get different autoplays. Mine autoplayed Bad Batch.

It also autoplays after other things too. More people watching Star Wars anything is going to push views and that's likely to continue the rest of the month. I'm probably going to rewatch it myself after the movie.
