In 2023, Netflix started publishing What We Watched: A Netflix Engagement Report aka "Netflix Data Dump", which includes viewing hours data for all its movies and shows. This report was created for a period of six months and was delayed about five months after the end of this half-year period. This is an overview of top films and TV shows that have recorded more than 100.000 hours of viewing globally. No country details were provided, but it is still more comprehensive than the weekly numbers that Netflix has provided since June 2021. Data about Views (basically Hours divided by Runtime) were published for the first time for the second half of 2023 and recalculated for the previous period using the Runtime.

This is not an all-time report; this is still available separately and with a different logic, focused also on subscribers and not hours, which favors longer TV shows. A list of the most-watched series and movies of all time on Netflix is available here. TOP 10s are still published, we update rankings daily, and every Tuesday evening, new weekly reports with the most-viewed movies and TV series from Netflix are coming by.

So far, Netflix is the only streaming service providing numbers about the most-watched and popular movies and TV shows.
