It’s a Sin breaks record as it seems viewers can’t get enough of the hit drama

Since it first premiered, It’s a Sin has gone from strength to strength as viewers can’t help but be drawn in by its depiction of heartbreaking moments, joy and unrivaled friendship. The HIV/AIDs epidemic and the prejudice against the gay community that accompanies it is a hugely significant and devastating element within the show. 

Though It’s a Sin brilliantly balances this with humor and warmth, with each of the cast members bringing viewers so much enjoyment with their heartfelt performances. And with so many people still wondering how to watch It’s a Sin online, it’s perhaps no surprise that the hit show has reportedly pulled in some record-breaking viewing figures.

What record has It's a Sin broken?

Five-part drama, It's a Sin, written by Russell T Davies (of Doctor Who fame) was only released in the UK at the end of January. 

But, as Digital Spy reports, the series has already had over 6.5 million views. These remarkable statistics make It’s a Sin the broadcaster’s third-biggest series to date - as well as the most-binged new series ever. And that’s not all... The first episode has reportedly become All 4’s most popular drama launch on record. 

Channel 4 are clearly delighted by the popularity of the series and the critical acclaim it's received.  Channel 4 Chief Content Officer, Ian Katz, said: "The extraordinary performance of It's a Sin is a reminder that powerful drama with something important to say about the world can also be commercially successful."

This amazing news will also no doubt add to the anticipation for US viewers, as It’s a Sin prepares to launch Stateside. Last month Russell T Davies took to Instagram to share the exciting news that the show will be released on HBO Max on February 18.

With this exciting release only weeks away, we'll have to wait and see how many new It’s a Sin converts will join the show’s existing fan-base.
