Netflix’s 6-Part ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Replacement Is an Instant Streaming Hit

Just over a year after Adolescence cut through the noise to emerge as a global streaming sensation for Netflix, another British limited series is delivering huge results for the streamer. The new show debuted on April 21 and immediately jumped to the top of Netflix's viewership charts. Coincidentally, it was released only a few days after the similarly themed documentary series Trust Me: The False Prophet, which continues to draw audiences on Netflix. Trust Me served as a spiritual follow-up to Keep Sweet: Pray and Obey, the streamer's hit 2022 documentary series about the crimes of Warren Jeffs, the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
