Alfred Molina in 'The Boroughs.' Courtesy of Netflix Logo text The Boroughs, canceled by Netflix in mid-June, continues to rack up big numbers in Nielsen’s lagging U.S. streaming ratings.
After debuting at No. 2 overall the previous week, The Boroughs rose to the top spot for May 25-31 with 1.74 billion minutes of viewing time. The show grew by about 45 percent week to week, with the largest cohort of viewers falling in the over-50 demographic — not a huge surprise for a show set in a retirement community.
Spider-Noir, starring Nicolas Cage, finished second among original series with 851 million minutes for its premiere week on Prime Video. Euphoria (730 million minutes) also hit a high mark on the Nielsen charts for the week leading up to its May 31 series finale.
