    It's because of all the complaints that modern Trek is too dark. ;)

    Three years in Canada is only worth two years, one month anyways.

    Have you ever heard the terms "PR speak" or "Spin"?

    No charts are required. Just paying attention to language.

    A)
    Why don't they say what show was the previous record holder?
    Because it was Star Trek Prodigy.
    Strange New Worlds is the second Star Trek debut on Paramount Plus.
    Of course, Strange New Worlds has a bigger debut than Prodigy. Big surprise.

    B)
    "one of the top two"

    It's not number one. They want to avoid saying "second place". Pure spin.

    Halo is the number one "Paramount+ original" show in the UK.
    Keep in mind, in the last 3 months Paramount Plus has released only 2 high-budget "prestige television" shows that count as "Paramount+ original": Halo and Strange New Worlds.

    Are you forgetting Lower Decks and Discovery?
    Paramount+ is CBS All Access with a new name remember.

    The article also doesn't specify just 'on Paramount+' it just says Streaming debut.
