Obamas’ ‘Dreary’ Documentary About Work Bombs on Netflix, After Being Declared ‘Rotten’
Only 1 million viewers watched the series in six months, making it one of Netflix’s worst performing series.

A docuseries produced by the Obamas’ Higher Ground Productions was one of Netflix’s biggest bombs in the second half of 2023, according to new data released by the streaming giant. Despite President Obama’s on-camera role as a narrator, interviewer, and producer, “Working: What We Do All Day” sunk fast to the bottom of the charts.
After attracting 2.3 million views within the first six weeks of its release on May 17, 2023, a low number for Netflix, the series drew in just 1 million views through the end of 2023.
