A three-part documentary about Matthew Perry has become one of Netflix’s most-watched releases, drawing 9.5 million views in its first six days on the platform. According to The Wrap, it debuted at the top of Netflix’s chart of the most-watched English-language series.
The documentary, titled Aquele sobre Matthew Perry in Portuguese, arrived on Netflix in late October. Its six-day total surpassed the 7.2 million views recorded by the third season of Ninguém Quer in its second week, as well as the 3.8 million views for Profundezas in its fourth week.
The only title listed with a higher audience was the fourth season of Lupin, which debuted with 10.8 million viewers and led Netflix’s non-English-language chart.
The documentary traces Perry’s career, including his rise to fame as Chandler on Friends, and his later struggles with depression and substance dependence. It features accounts from relatives and longtime friends, but not from his Friends co-stars. Perry died in October 2023 at the age of 54.
