Wednesday

Wednesday shattered Netflix records with 252 million viewing hours in its first week. Tim Burton's dark comedic vision turned Jenna Ortega into a Gen Z icon, and her dance scene to "Goo Goo Muck" became the most replicated TikTok trend of 2022, generating over 10 million user videos within three months. The show proved that a 60-year-old character could dominate modern social media, yet its total viewership still trails Squid Game's 1.65 billion hours by a factor of six, highlighting the uneven distribution of cultural dominance even among top-tier hits.
