Social Wit List: August 2018

Netflix’s critically acclaimed To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before generated the most social media buzz among all the new show premieres around the world in August, according to The WIT.

Based on the best-seller by Jenny Han, the movie logged more than 70,000 mentions as Netflix watchers raved that it #DoesJusticeToTheBook, was #CuteAndFun and offered up #AsianRepresentation. They also appealed to the streamer to #PleaseGiveUsASequel.

The Filipino telenovela Ngayon at Kailanman on ABS-CBN ranks second on the Social Wit List with about 52,000 mentions, with viewers praising the #ManyPlotTwists, #GreatActing and #HighProductionQuality.

SYFY’s sixth and final Sharknado title, The Last Sharknado: It’s About Time, generated about 47,000 tweets as audiences reflected on how they #CantBelieveItsTheLastOne, mourning the #EndOfAYearlyTradition and noting they were #LovingTheCameos in the #WonderfullyAwful TV movie.

Amazon Prime Video’s Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan was mentioned about 31,000 times. Viewers found it to be an #ActionPacked series delivering #StunningEntertainment and they #LoveJohnKrasinski as the titular character.

Audiences in Argentina had #MixedFeelings about Fox’s new talent competition Talento FOX, with the 23,000 mentions indicating that while some viewers were moved to #Tears for the #MovingStories, others #DidntGetTheConcept.

Equally polarizing was Netflix’s Insatiable, in sixth place, as some found it #CleverAndHilarious and others #PredictableAndOffensive. Likewise with Matt Groening’s new fantasy animated comedy for the streamer, Disenchantment. Some were #BellyLaughing and others bemoaned the #WeakPlot.

Hallmark Channel’s Love at Sea, meanwhile, based on Barbara Oliverio’s book Love on the Lido Deck, had watchers saying they #WantToGoOnACruiseToo as they were wowed by the #AmazingCast in the #StunningMovie.

In ninth place on the August Social Wit List is Chilevision’s Bake Off Chile, El Gran Pastelero with about 10,000 tweets. Viewers largely found the adaptation of the hit format #Entertaining even though some were #NotLikingtheJudges.

Rounding out the top ten is another Netflix series, the Mexican dark comedy La Casa de Las Flores, as audiences offered #KudosToAuthorManoloCaro and called the show their #NewAddiction.
