- Netflix is the leading streaming platform for all TV shows, constantly producing and releasing original TV series.

Netflix is a popular streaming platform known for producing original TV shows and attracting viewers from all over the world. Netflix did not disclose views on its platform until recently.
Netflix now publishes weekly statistics on its most-watched TV shows based on streaming hours. In mid-2021, Netflix launched a website showing charts with the biggest movie hits.
These charts show the TV shows that had the most viewers the previous week. It also displays a global ranking of its most-viewed films of all time.
What is Netflix’s weekly streaming about?
Netflix updates the website charts once a week, and the total number of streaming hours determines the movie ranking. Netflix releases the most popular titles from the previous week based on its subscribers’ viewing habits.
Netflix’s release represents a global ranking of more than 90 countries. This is to give subscribers a more comprehensive understanding of their platform’s most popular hits. The list also helps subscribers discover new programs to watch and relax with.
This streaming platform weekly updates its “Top 10 Netflix TV shows” every Tuesday using the number of streaming hours from Monday through Sunday of the previous week.
Netflix divides its top ten charts into four categories: movies in English, non-English languages, TV in English, and TV in non-English.
There is also an all-time list of the most-watched films. This contains information about shows that received many views within the first 28 days of their release.
Netflix counts the streaming hours for the episodes differently if a new season’s movie episodes air in two parts on separate dates. The total streaming hours shown on the Netflix charts after the first part’s upload are from the first 28 days of release.
Once the movie’s second part is released, the total streaming hours are counted 28 days after the release date. Like the Bridgerton movie series, the streaming hours for the two seasons are counted differently.
