Perhaps Netflix It is going through one of its most complicated moments in years and it is precisely in this context where the company has finally opened up, leaving behind the secrets, to share which are its most watched series and movies in its entire history.
But it is necessary to take into consideration the context in which this unexpected movement arises. The competition right now is simply too much and the old glory days of the platform are long gone.
We all remember the days of yesteryear when the streaming service was something like a legal Cave with a huge catalog of titles between TV series and movies available to any user in exchange for a ridiculous amount per month and no ads.
But then things changed. The company strongly invested in the production of original content with a wide range of quality in the final product. So we had, yes, a lot of options.
However, some productions were of a high caliber, like the first seasons of House of Cards, while others were simply terrible in every possible parameter.
Over time, even its best series drastically declined in quality, with a few occasional exceptions.
At the same time that they entered this platform war where HBO Max, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video and even Apple TV+ were shown as alternatives with proposals as different as they were robust and attractive.
During all those years, the question about what the most successful series and movies really were remained a mystery. But now for some reason they have revealed everything.
