The sheer volume of content being consumed is nothing short of mind-boggling. The success of “The Madness” with an astounding 2.2 billion minutes watched in just one week is a testament to its captivating storytelling. It’s fascinating to see how the streaming landscape has evolved, with shows like “Landman,” “A Man on the Inside,” and even “Our Little Secret” dominating the charts.

During the period of November 29 – December 5, the Taylor Sheridan-created series “Landman” garnered approximately 1.2 billion minutes of viewing time, making it the most popular show among those airing, taking second place overall.
