Like other German-language universes (e.g. Dark on Netflix), the German science fiction series Tribes of Europa, whose first season is available on the same platform, was a huge success.

Data available on the FlixPatrol website shows that this show stayed in Netflix's top 10 for “only” 23 days. In addition, he was unable to maintain his place in the top 10 of his country of origin, Germany, for longer than 18 days.
