These are the most popular TV shows ever on Netflix (in English), based on hours viewed in their first 28 days on streaming.
Two series on that list currently have more hours viewed than Wednesday: Squid Game (with 1.65 billion hours viewed, making it Netflix’s single biggest show ever) and Money Heist: Part 5 (with 792 million hours viewed).
And if you add up the total number of hours viewed of the nine other shows in the Netflix top ten most-watched series last week, their total — 191 million hours viewed — is less than half the amount of Wednesday that was watched — 411 million hours.
It’s worth mentioning that Netflix ranks shows in languages other than English on a second list.
