Teenager Alma (Nicole Wallace), 17, places the banner over the opening of a fence and attracts the attention of students walking through the school. The banner reads: “BEWARE! A RAPIST IS HIDING THERE!” We see someone posting on an Instagram account with a bunch of hashtags. “This is me before I was raped“, he writes in the caption. This is the beginning of ‘Not One More’, the necessary Netflix premiere series that is perfect to watch if you liked ‘Thirteen Reasons Why’.
These are the data that support the success of ‘Ni una más’. During its first week on Netflix, from May 27 to June 2which is the latest data offered by Netflix, The Spanish series accumulated 29,200,000 hours of viewingbecoming the most watched non-English speaking series in the world, above another global success like ‘The 8 show’. At the same stage, ‘The Bridgertons’ reaches 42,400,000 hours and a total of 11,600,000 views in its third week on Netflix.
Although the figures for this series are higher, the data offered is global, because Netflix does not publish data by country. The only official data that the platform has transferred is that during the week of May 27 to June 2, ‘Ni una más’ is the most watched series in Spainabove ‘The Bridgertons’, which has been waiting for three weeks for the premiere of part 2 of season 3. Although on a global level it is impossible to reach, since it has 300,400,000 million hours watched, far surpassing to season 2, at the local level it has managed to exceed the numbers during the last week.
That with these figures ‘Ni una más’ has ousted ‘Los Bridgerton’ in Spain is admirable. In fact, the Spanish Netflix series has reached number one in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Venezuela.
In a market as complicated as the European one, it has reached first place in countries such as Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Republic Czech, Slovak Republic, Romania, Serbia and Switzerland.
The reason for the success of ‘Ni una más’ on Netflix over ‘The Bridgertons’
The first episode of ‘Ni una más’ captivates and ends in a way that forces you to continue watching more episodes. It starts with a bang, of course, with Alma putting up that incendiary banner for everyone at her school to see. But then the first episode meanders between Alma’s interrogation of her assault and scenes of her being a typical teenager: she goes out with friends and has conflicts with her parents.
It’s a story that has the potential to have a high emotional impact, as we’re pretty sure that Alma going public with her aggression and pointing the finger at someone at her school makes her the subject of all kinds of cruel blame from victims.
The series is also being liked a lot. It has a 7.1 average on IMDba very difficult average to achieve on a platform as international as it.
Ignacio is an expert in culture, but for more than 10 years he has specialized in films and series, both those that premiere on the big screen and on streaming platforms. The same thing tells you about the premieres of Netflix, HBO Max or Amazon Prime Video, as it tells you about the last hour of ‘Masterchef’ or any other television program.
With extensive experience as a critic, he knows the best series and movies and loves to watch them before you do so he can tell you if they are worth it or not. He knows all the premieres of the week and loves to recommend series and movies to his friends, family and readers, something that he has been doing on different personal blogs and through social networks. He likes everything: he follows great directors like Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino or Steven Spielberg, and he knows the entire Marvel universe, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings and the Disney world by heart.
Culture is his main hobby and although he considers himself a movie buff, he also loves music, especially international music, and video games, to which he dedicates all the time that movies and series allow him, of course. Sport is his other passion, which he developed in his beginnings at the sports newspaper MARCA. Ignacio Herruzo graduated in Journalism from the Rey Juan Carlos University in 2012. Since then he has not stopped writing since he started in 2013 at the Hearst group, where he has served as an editor for different websites and magazines such as Teleprograma, Supertele and Diez Minutos.
