Sean Combs docuseries becomes Netflix's viral hit
The series debuted worldwide on December 2 and quickly climbed global rankings. It now holds the #1 position in the United States and sits at #2 globally, trailing only Stranger Things season 5, which drew nearly 60 million views in its opening week.
Produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, the docuseries is being described as the definitive account of the disgraced music mogul, who is currently serving a 50‑month prison sentence. At just four episodes, the show has been praised as one of Netflix's most binge‑worthy releases, combining investigative storytelling with a gripping portrayal of Combs' downfall.
While Netflix's December slate also includes hits like The Beast in Me and several non‑original titles such as Talamasca: The Secret Order and Absentia, Sean Combs: The Reckoning has emerged as the unexpected breakout. Analysts note that surpassing Stranger Things in US viewership so soon after its final season premiere is both surprising and impressive — and the series may well hold onto its #1 spot through the rest of the week.
