The International Success of ‘The Accident’ Is No Accident

Last week, The Accident, Netflix’s number one non-English language show, or number two (in any language) in the United States was not Japanese or Korean or German. My fellow Venezuelan writer, Leonardo Padron, created the limited series made in Mexico, in Spanish. According to Variety, in its first week it commanded the ratings and destroyed its rivals with absolute ease, which is a surprise, since there was no promotion for this series.
