Netflix Inc. continued its blistering growth in the fourth quarter, as mounting investments in original shows like “Stranger Things” and movies like “Bright” helped the streaming service sign up subscribers at a record rate. The company added 8.3 million streaming users—the most it has ever gained in a quarter—exceeding the 6.3 million net additions it had projected. The growth in the U.S. and internationally brought its total paid subscriber count to 110.6 million at the end of the fourth quarter.
