“A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” debuted on Luminate’s weekly viewership rankings with 699.1 million minutes watched in its first full week of availability on Netflix, making it the most-watched streaming original across both the film and TV charts for Aug. 2-8 by far.
This comes after a particularly slow week of streaming; between July 26 and Aug. 1 was Season 6 of “Love Island USA” with just 386.5 million minutes watched. And beyond a solid debut for “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” the summer slowdown continued this week, as “Love Island USA” stayed near the top of the chart, clinching the No. 2 position with 365.9 million minutes watched in the second full week of availability of the season finale.
