Its fresh take on the iconic detective has earned rave reviews and a surge of viewers, especially in nine countries where it now tops the charts. The show’s success shows how a familiar name can win over audiences when presented in an unexpected setting.Meanwhile, the superhero series that had been number one since its March premiere is slipping to third place.

The episode’s ending hinted at a major storyline from the original comics, promising that future episodes will bring back momentum.
