Knowing how many people see audiovisual content, and all the metrics that come from it, is something very important for investors and content creators. These parameters help production companies know which elements seem to attract the most audiences. Here we present the most watched original movies and series on Netflix.
But first, how does the platform determine this data? Netflix publishes weekly 4 global top 10 lists in the categories of: English-language film, English-language series, foreign-language film, and foreign-language series. Previously, the platform was based on the number of hours that content was viewed in a 28-day period; now, That number of hours is divided by the total duration of the content in a period of 91 days, something that Netflix calls “views”..
The change that went into effect this June 20, as stated on their site, is due to that “views” better measure audience retention and satisfaction. This prevents those titles with more hours of content from having an advantage, and allows series and movies to be better compared despite the fact that their durations are extremely different.
