Crazy to see The Witcher Season 2 (renewed), Sandman (renewed) and 1899 (cancelled) so closely grouped.
The cancellation of 1899 was the last straw for me.
For Jan-Jun 2023, it was 278th most viewed on the platform with 51,800,000 hours of view. It was released in 2022-11-17.
It just makes me wonder what sort of views it would have had to get to get continued for another season.
Definitely a shame - it was a fun show.
Pretty cool to interact with this data using ChatGPT: https://chat.openai.com/g/g-pOGRX2Bx6-what-we-watched-a-nflx...
No wonder Netflix continues to make shitty shows. People are watching shitty shows. I don't watch the shows that the bulk of Netflix viewers watch!
The original House of Cards was great. Mindhunter was alright. Neither reached the pinnacle of most HBO programming.
It's a shame that David Zaslav believes prestige television must take a backseat to cheap, "comfort" viewing. And the fact that they ditched such a prestigious brand to rename themselves "Max".
I noticed that the watchtime of `You` was split half-and-half between the new season 4 and the prior seasons 1-3. I was curious about the total results by show, including all seasons. Here's the top 25: TITLE TOTAL HRS WATCHED ----- ----------------- Ginny & Georgia 967,200,000 The Night Agent 812,100,000 You 766,300,000 Outer Banks 740,400,000 The Walking Dead 738,600,000 The Glory 622,800,000 La Reina del Sur 616,8…
They do provide closed captions however, so that we get helpful captions such as "loud urinating sounds".
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.
This is a wonderful gold mine for data geeks. The real question to me is why Netflix is releasing this. It's a massive boon for their competitors. My instinct is they either were hacked/people were able to game the recommendations enough to get at it that they decided to just share it. Unexpected.

They've gotten a reputation for canceling shows. Creatives feel that it's unjustified, and I'm assuming they feel that it's justified based on the numbers the shows are pulling in and the cost.
And they feel that transparency about this is the best way to demonstrate their case. That the data backs up their decisions.
Most network show cancelations come with low rating that everyone can see. This is their equivalent of releasing ratings so people can see the reasons for their cancelations.
