Yes, Netflix's numbers don't mean much given it counts watching just two minutes as a “view.” Who here hasn't stopped watching a movie after seeing the first 5–10 minutes? Netflix will naturally know internally how many of its members actually finished Enola Holmes in full, and it feels comfortable in greenlighting a second young adult fourth wall-breaking period detective drama in its vein. And there was no doubt that there was going to be an Enola Holmes 2, considering the first film was viewed by over 76 million Netflix members in the first four weeks after its release late September last year. For the streaming service, Enola Holmes ends up being the franchise that it had hoped it would become.
