With 32 episodes compared to “Obi-Wan’s” two, and longer episodes within those 32, “Stranger Things” has the advantage when it comes to the “minutes available” metric. Nielsen compared the premiere episodes of Strange Things (Season 4, Episode 1) and Obi-Wan (Season 1, Episode 1) and tallied the total viewers within the average minute of each episode to make a more direct comparison.

“Tiger King” and “Ozark” are the only two Netflix productions to have accumulated 5 billion minutes viewed in a single week, and this happened for each series in March 2020.
