How it spread

Trace the origin

Netflix released the series in 2019, and season four reached a global chart milestone. Nielsen linked viewing to new US race viewers in its study windows. The series extended into a live golf crossover and Apple TV distribution.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak. Dates use the stated precision; chart positions are date anchors.
