In a clear sign of the times, more competitors have been licensing content to Netflix in the past year or so, including Showtime, which handed _Your Honor_ and _Dexter _over this summer.

Netflix’s latest edition of _What We’re Watching_, which pulls back the curtain on viewership for all of its titles every six months, gives an early indication about how those shows have

been performing since they landed on the service in June. The two seasons of _Your Honor _tallied 16.1M views in just under a month on the service, after arriving on May 31. Season 1 put up

10M of those views, landing it at No. 142 among Netflix’s thousands of titles. That’s a strong start for the series, performing better in one month than many of the HBO titles that the

streamer previously acquired did in six months. This report only encompasses viewership data from January to June, meaning that it’s very likely the series performed quite well into the

second half of the year, as it continued to chart on Nielsen’s streaming lists for some time. WATCH ON DEADLINE Eight seasons of _Dexter _generated 33.2M views in an even shorter time span.

The popular series returned to Netflix on June 19 after a three-and-a-half-year break, just as buzz began to grow for the upcoming prequel series, _Dexter: Original Sin_ as well. Season 1

was responsible for 9.2M views, coming in at No. 159 among all titles on Netflix. RELATED: NETFLIX DATA DUMP: BRITS DOMINATE TOP 10 TV SERIES AS ‘FOOL ME ONCE’, ‘BRIDGERTON’ & ‘BABY

REINDEER’ AMASS HUGE AUDIENCE; ‘AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER’ IS MOST-WATCHED U.S. SHOW As with _Your Honor_, _Dexter _also hit the Nielsen charts in the weeks after, chalking up billions of

minutes viewed, which means that this title will likely also hold its own in the second half of the year. As recently as the week of August 19 (which is the most recent Nielsen report, as

they are about a month behind), _Dexter _was still showing up on the acquired titles list. It’s worth noting that both of these titles had previously been available on Paramount+ — and still

are. However, their performance did not ever land them on the Nielsen charts prior to their Netflix debuts. Speaking of Showtime, _Ripley _seems to have underperformed for Netflix. The

series moved to the streamer last year while it was in the early stages of post-production and, despite scoring a handful of Emmys, it only put up around 9.1M views from its premiere date on

April 4 through the end of June. Given how expensive the series was for Netflix, it’s up for debate whether the company got a proper return on investment. RELATED: ‘YOUNG SHELDON,’ ‘SEX AND
