Netflix introduced daily top 10 lists last month of its most popular movies and TV shows and the true-crime docuseries, which premiered on March 20, has been its most popular title in the US for two weeks straight.

Netflix counts a view if an account watches two minutes of a show or movie, which is how it calculates its daily lists that update each morning to reflect the past 24 hours.

"Tiger King" is also Rotten Tomatoes' most popular TV series right now with a 93% critic score and an 89% audience score (though that's down from its 97% critic score and a 94% audience score last week).

"For those who love Netflix's particular flavor of true crime and docuseries, which depend heavily on wild characters and addictive pacing in order to keep a couchbound audience entertained, 'Tiger King' will undoubtedly scratch a particular itch," Variety wrote.

"Tiger King" is also one of Netflix's most "in-demand" true-crime docuseries ever, according to data firm Parrot Analytics (the company measure "demand expressions," which take into account the viewership, desire, and engagement of a series weighted by importance). In the first week of their respective launches, "Tiger King" was more in demand than other hits like "The Staircase," "Wild Wild Country," and "Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes."

It's not as huge as Netflix's first true-crime hit, "Making a Murderer," but Parrot Analytics said last week that "Tiger King" was growing in popularity every day.

The series is so popular that Netflix could potentially release a bonus episode this week, according to Jeff Lowe, one of the show's subjects.
