Netflix has taken a new approach to reporting the popularity of its top shows and movies. With a striking amount of transparency, the once secretive streamer has now revealed exactly how many hours the world has spent watching its top performers in the first half of 2023.
As it is done by time watched not the amount of view, the list is dominated by TV shows, but there are some movies in there too. Chief among them is the Jennifer Lopez starring The Mother which audiences spent 249,900,000 hours combined watching. That's despite its Rotten Tomatoes score of just 43%. But that's not the most surprising discovery on the list.
