Netflix has just lifted the veil on the top most watched films and series in its catalogue. Unsurprisingly, the ranking is dominated by recent productions such as Stranger Things, The Umbrella Academy or Bird Box.
Alongside the presentation of its financial results, Netflix unveiled the ranking of the most watched original series and films between October 2018 and September 2019, reported our colleagues in the New York Times. Although it is still quite rare for the VOD service to present its audience figures, Netflix already unveiled last April the ranking of the most watched series, films and documentaries by British subscribers.
