One show is dominating the Netflix top 10 as viewers binge watch all three seasons, including the third which came out this month.
If there were ever any questions as to how popular this Netflix TV drama is, then here's the proof.
Last Thursday (June 5) marked the debut of the 10-episode third season two years after season two. Fans, your patience has been rewarded!
Of course, it hasn't been without its criticisms, however, it all seems to have been worth it in the end if the global watch times are anything to go by.

The TV series in question stars Brianna Howey as Georgia Miller, who is a 30-year-old single mother with a complex past. She and her 15-year-old daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry) move to the picturesque town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts with the hope of building a new, stable life in the New England town.
However, we soon learn that this is easier said than done as hidden truths come to light.
We are, of course, talking about Ginny & Georgia.
Ever since season one dropped on the streaming platform, Ginny & Georgia has been popular and in its first 28 days on the streaming platform, it was watched by 52 million subscribers, amassing 381 million hours of viewing time.
The popularity has yet to fade as seen by the effect of the third season’s release, with 178,200,000 hours viewed so far.
The show may also be picking up new fans, or perhaps long-time viewers wanted a trip down memory lane, as season one is also trending globally, with 36,600,000 hours viewed, and season two has added 32,100,000 hours viewed, too.
However, it seems that the first and second series were no match for The Survivors, Sirens and Dept.Q, which is another series that Netflix viewers have become 'addicted' to.
And who knows, if Dept.Q fans get their wish for a second season, there could be some more stiff competition on the horizon.
Season three picks up immediately where season two ended, when Georgia is arrested for murder during her wedding, with her past being at risk of being exposed as the mother and daughter must find new ways to cope.
The positive reactions have flooded in ever since the third season dropped.
"WHY IS SEASON 3 OF GINNY AND GEORGIA SO F***ING GOOD????!?!?" one delighted viewer shared on X.
Another fan praised the shift, writing: "Everybody went to Netflix to watch Ginny & Georgia season 3 expecting to laugh at the usual cringy scenes, but instead got hit with a gut wrenching emotional rollercoaster season that was so unexpectedly good & left us in tears."
As it stands on Rotten Tomatoes, season three is the highest rated at 69 per cent, followed by season one's 68 per cent and 60 per cent for season two.
In other news, fans have only just discovered that two of the stars are siblings in real life.
"But they have the same last name and have the same eyes and smile pretty much the whole face except the beard really," one person replied to a Facebook user who was gobsmacked to learn that Joe and Padma are actually related.
The duo is played by 35-year-old Raymond Ablack and his 24-year-old little sister, Rebecca Ablack.
