Ava DuVernay Wept Learning How Many Accounts Watched ‘When They See Us’

Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us, a critically acclaimed limited series about the Central Park jogger case, premiered a month ago on Netflix. So, it’s safe to say that a lot of people have watched it, right? In a tweet posted by the director late Tuesday night, the streamer revealed that over 23 million accounts — yes, that’s “accounts” and not “viewers,” “people” or other synonyms for “individuals” — have watched When They See Us worldwide since late May.
