The AMC crime drama Parish debuted in March 2024 but was canceled by the network after its first season in October. However, the show recently became popular on Netflix, quickly landing in the platform’s Top 10 most-watched shows.

This is because the sensors have become smaller and cheaper, letting scientists miniaturize them so everyone from casual to competitive gamers can benefit.
