An important caveat to note here: Netflix does not release viewership data for all of its shows, and their numbers are entirely internal and can’t be verified by an independent entity. According to TV Line, a source at Netflix confirmed that watching the show registers if someone watched at least 70% of an episode.

The show has already been confirmed four a fourth season, which may be its last.
