Ratched debuted on Netflix on September 18 and now the streaming service has revealed how many people watched the series in its first four weeks of streaming.

Netflix says that 48 million members watched the new Ryan Murphy series, which stars Sarah Paulson as the titular Nurse Ratched.

The show has claimed the biggest original season one of the year!

“In its first 28 days, 48 million members have booked an appointment with Nurse Ratched, making it our biggest original Season 1 of the year,” Netflix tweeted on Friday (October 16).

Netflix is very secretive when it comes to how many people watched their shows, but in the last couple years, the streamer has been open about sharing the numbers for successful shows.

After the show premiered, Sarah explained to fans how to pronounce the name “Ratched” because it’s not pronounced the way it appears.
