How these figures are compared

Changes compare the same show with its equivalent broadcast one week or 52 weeks earlier (within three days). Only comparable reported figures are used; missing or incompatible data shows 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.
