Autor: Fotograma de la película Publicado: 28/01/2021 | 11:16 am Los Bridgerton, la serie más vista de toda la historia de Netflix La plataforma digital asegura que, según sus estadísticas, 82 millones de cuentas las visto a 28 días de su estreno, superando a otros fenómenos de popularidad del servicio «streaming» como The Witcher, Lupin, Gambito de Dama o incluso Stranger Things Publicado: Jueves 28 enero 2021 | 11:23:36 am. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde Netflix aseguró este miércoles en un comunicado de prensa que Los Bridgerton, el último éxito televisivo de Shonda Rhimes, ha sido visto por 82 millones de cuenta en sus primeros 28 días tras su fantástico estreno en las Navidades, lo que la posiciona como la serie más vista en la historia del gigante digital. En el caso de los datos de audiencia de Netflix es recomendable andar con pies de plomo, ya que el método que usa la plataforma para definir un visionado resulta muy controvertido: basta con que un usuario vea un contenido concreto durante dos minutos para que se contabilice, advierte la agencia Efe, aunque reconoce que, por muy dudoso que sea la manera de Netflix a la hora de presentar sus éxitos, Los Bridgerton se ha situado por encima de otros fenómenos como del servicio de «streaming» como The Witcher, Lupin, Gambito de Dama o incluso Stranger Things. La semana pasada, Netflix confirmó que habrá una segunda temporada de Los Bridgerton por medio de la misteriosa narradora de la serie, Lady Whistledown.

[Music fades out.] 00:00:13 Music Transition “Huddle Formation” from the album Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team. A fast, upbeat, peppy song. Music plays as Jesse speaks, then fades out. 00:00:21 Jesse Thorn Host It’s Bullseye. I’m Jesse Thorn. Have you seen Ramy? It’s a show on Hulu. It wrapped up its second season a few months back. It focuses on a guy named Ramy, played by our guest—Ramy Youssef. When the show kicks off, Ramy is in his late ‘20s. Living with his parents in New Jersey. At different times, Ramy wonders what to do about his career; about his love life; his family life—all stuff that’s pretty typical for someone his age. One of the things that makes Ramy the show unique, though, is how it talks about faith. Ramy the character is a practicing Muslim. His relationship with religion is more than just, y’know, like a thing his parents do. [Music fades out entirely.] He prays. He goes to a mosque. He doesn’t drink. Amid the Millennial existential angst and jokes about sex, the show also asks some probing, deep questions about faith. Recently, Ramy was nominate for three Emmys: Best Directing in a Comedy; Best Supporting Actor for the great Mahershala Ali; and Best Actor for Ramy Youssef.
