Prime Video fans binge-watched a top-rated Rachel Brosnahan TV series for 8.3 million hours a week.
It's a show you can really sink your teeth into, with five whole seasons and has a 'perfect ending.'
Interestingly, Brosnahan's husband of seven years, Jason Ralph, joins the cast for the final few seasons, making for a fun dynamic.
Although the actor did set the internet alight this week by liking a rather unusual Instagram comment.

Brosnahan stars as Lois Lane opposite David Corenswet's Superman in the new release of the same name.
During its press cycle, a fan wrote an almost unintelligible comment on one of Ralph's photos about the pair's on-screen chemistry.
The anonymous commenter said: "It's genuinely sad to see your career being tucked out to be remembered as a cuckold because your wife couldn't handle herself with her co-actor. Like bro.. let's have some self love and stand up for yourself man, leave her to be with him if she wants that much at the end of the day." Make of that what you will... the internet already has.
Anyway, rather than deleting or ignoring the comment, Ralph liked it, sparking all sorts of theories and mixed reaction.
He's since turned off his comments, but not before stealthy social media users could screen shot it to dissect on Reddit.
Neither actors have addressed the weird turn of events thus far, so we can assume things are all plain sailing in that department.
And if you want to catch the real-life married couple in a binge-worthy Amazon Prime Video series, then read on.
From Gilmore Girls' Amy Sherman-Palladino, the the critically-acclaimed series is set in the 1950s and follows Miriam 'Midge' Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan), a glamorous New York housewife.
Her life takes a dramatic turn when her husband Joel (Michael Zegen) leaves her. In the aftermath, she uncovers a hidden talent for stand-up comedy and sets out to forge a career in a male-dominated world.
In season four, Ralph joins the cast as famed TV producer Mike Carr, becoming a series regular for the fifth and final instalment.
The TV series we're talking about, of course, is The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which earned an average of 96 percent Rotten Tomatoes score across all five seasons.
Running between 2017 and 2023, the final season debuted on April 14, 2023 with the first three episodes released simultaneously, followed by weekly instalments. The season concluded on May 26, 2023 and from May 29 to June 4 2023, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel was watched for 499 million,Variety reported. That works out at 8.3 million hours viewed per week; a lot of eyeballs!
Critics said of the show's final season: "All good comedy sets must arrive at a final punchline, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel reliably nails its own with a fifth season that wisely puts Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein's repartee front and center."
Fans were in agreement, as one weighed in: "A Marvelous season full of emotion, laughter and anxiety. I would say it was a perfect end to a perfect series."
A second said the show was 'in a league of its own' as a third wrote: "What a fun ride this has been! Witty, lightning-quick dialogue, smart, clever, daring - you will be hard-pressed to find a better show in the last five years."
All five seasons of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel are streaming now on Prime Video.
