was the most watched series on Netflix in the first week of the lockdown.Yes. It was also the time when Covid-19 was still being called “the coronavirus” and Americans believed that a two-week lockdown would suffice to “flatten the curve.”And the fact that it still resonates is an indication of the cultural impact of the true crime doc.
