How these figures are compared
Changes compare the same show with its equivalent broadcast one week or 52 weeks earlier (within three days). A year-on-year Nielsen change across different measurement methods is shown for reference with a note; it is not directly comparable. Missing figures and other incompatible comparisons show N/A, never zero. The 18–49 changes are percentages; rating-point changes, benchmark dates and four-week averages are in Details.
RAW’s global Netflix views are separate from US TV audiences and are not directly comparable. Figures are reported audience estimates and may be revised.
