Surprised to see The Glory in the top 3 since it's a Korean show, but it's definitely one of the best Netflix shows. Seems like the Korean entertainment industry is big for Netflix, seems like it might be second to Hollywood.
Slightly related. Netflix is that company that doesn't provide English subtitles in Australia (unless the movie/show's original language is not English), and possibly other native English countries as well. They do provide closed captions however, so that we get helpful captions such as " loud urinating sounds ".
Possibly unrelated but similar idea at least: in Japan a lot of the Japanese TV shows I watch don't have English subtitles available, but in the US the same shows on Netflix do have English subtitles. I don't fully understand the reasoning for this on Netflix's side.
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.

Makes me sad that the best show on/produced by Netflix (Narcos: Mexico) has so little hours watched compared to the rest (30,000).
The S3 of Narcos Mexico was released in 2021 and it wasn't very good compared to the S1 and S2.
I love that they released the report in Excel format. They collectively saved millions of man hours across the world from doing useless data scraping and reformatting.
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
Stephen Fry described TV as the nation’s fireplace, with the implication that shared viewing of a common canon strengthens cultural connections with other people. It’s like how millennials can drop a Simpsons quote into a conversation with their peers and everybody gets the reference. Peak TV has annihilated this. Nobody watches the same stuff anymore. Did you catch the latest season of Current Thing? No, because the…

Stuff that comes out weekly seems to do better on cultural impact. ~Everyone's seen the Invincible memes.[0][1] I see What We Do In The Shadows references all the time.[2] There are a few shows I've never watched, but know bits and pieces about through stuff like this.

Hahaha this is hilarious and a massively unintentional strengthening of a point being argued against. Many of us haven’t seen those shows or memes your bubble is your bubble only . That is the entire point and thrust of this comment thread. Then this comment comes in and is all ‘actually we’ve all seen these’ and we are all like…… nah?
This is an outcome of the WGA strike negotiations. Now writers (and actors, and anyone else) can use this information to better negotiate their worth with studios, rather than it being 1-sided. All other streaming services should be following suit soon.

Crazy to see The Witcher Season 2 (renewed), Sandman (renewed) and 1899 (cancelled) so closely grouped.
S2 is at position 32 with 192M hours viewed.
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…
> The Big Bang Theory 420,400,000 That is just depressing IMO.. I don't understand the appeal to that show..
However Suits is insufferable to watch.
