Netflix recently released a massive list of 18K titles that had at least 50K viewing hours on the platform for the first six months of 2023. They plan on making bi-annual reports like this and breaking down the idea that they aren’t transparent. I looked at it so you don’t have to. The list values time watched in hours, not necessarily who watched the whole season. So the longer the program, the better off it is. however, the list is broken down into seasons, so a powerhouse like grey’s Anatomy doesn’t propel to the top simply because it has a ton of episodes. However, for half hour shows, this does mean their performance is handicapped, though that didn’t stop some huge success stories. This is just a cursory look at some major titles, with not all included. If you really want to look at 18K titles, Netflix has a downloadable PDF on their site that is obviously accessible to screen readers.
