Data Suggest THE DEFENDERS Might Be The Least Watched Marvel Netflix Show
A recent study by a 3rd party company has shown that The Defenders could very well be the least watched Marvel show on Netflix. The data comes from Jumpshot (via i09) who, through their metrics, have determined that around 17% of the people who tuned in for Season 2 of Daredevil (allegedly the most watched Marvel series to date) tuned in to watch at least one episode of The Defenders.
If that's true, that's shockingly low, but from what I've heard from friends it's not at all that surprising. I've had several friends who didn't watch simply because Iron Fist was involved, and they hated the series that much they would not watch something with him in it again! Of course, we'll never know if these numbers are actually true as Netflix doesn't even reveal their numbers to the people who make their shows. That said, Jumpshot isn't just some ragtag company and they have some real analytics to prove their numbers, so fans shouldn't be so quick to dismiss their findings.
Obviously, we're all a little biased seeing as we're geeks, but do you know anyone who tuned in for the other Marvel shows who skipped out on The Defenders? If so, let us know why they skipped it in the comments.
