Netflixhasn’t traditionally been open about its viewing figures in the past but things are a-changin'.

Now The Night Agent is decent, with a78% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, but it’s hardly The Crown or another of Netflix’s traditional big hitters. However, as the list only covers the period ending June 2023, it doesn’t contain some of the more recent releases, likeSquid Game: The Challenge.

It makes for interesting reading though, and has plenty of recommendations for those looking for a series to binge.

Perhaps the most impressive numbers are for season 3 of the Spanish-language drama La Reina del Sur, considering it hasn’t been available globally. The other entrants are.

Netflix also reveals that its users viewed more than 100 billion hours of content in the first six months of 2023, and watched more than 18,000 titles (shows and movies).

It stresses though that the success of a TV series or film should not be rated on viewing hours alone. It says that it gauges the size of the audience with the economics of the title.

Perhaps that’s why it’s controversially binned Shadow and Bone after season 2, even though it was watched more thanBlack Mirror, say, which has been recommissioned for a seveth series.
