With all their employees and machine learning people Netflix couldn't find a single data scientist to present this in a nicer way?

All we get is an Excel sheet dump with a huge list, not even grouped by series? Not to mention regions, languages, genres, some graphs, etc.

I'm a bit surprised to be honest.

I've literally never heard of any of these shows and I watch a lot of TV shows. I only know of Vikings in the top 50

"Beef" was pretty great, I'd recommend that. I'm surprised to see no mention of "The Witcher", though, I figured that would've ranked relatively highly despite the many creative shortcomings of the show.

"Beef" was the only Netflix show I liked in a long while. Have since canceled Netflix.

My god is this power law driven, just put that into a graph! Top show has twice the view count of show number 8. Would love to map that against budgets and sub numbers - without ads the viewcounts matter zilch.

Sub numbers? How would you exactly relate sub numbers vs shows? Try and graph how many people only watched 1 show, or watched that show right after joining?
