In the four weeks following September 17, 2021, humanity spent 188 407 years of time seeing and reviewing the South Korean series Squid Game, or rather 1,650,450,000 hours. How Netflix now has.
For a few days, the platform publishes on A devoted site A series of four Top 10 – Series and English films, series and movies in another language than English – and will do it every week. Four additional tables give the best performances in each category since the platform adds the hours. Not surprisingly, Squid Game dominates all the series of the head and tentacles, while Bird Box remains the most regarded movie.
Turning the back to his old accounting method, who wanted any program looked over more than two minutes to be considered “VU”, these rankings rely exclusively on the hours spent by subscribers in front of feature films or series . At this auction, three South Korean series dominate the ranking of the November 8th week: Squid Game, of course, but also The King’s affection, historical melodrama, and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, romantic comedy. Among the English successes, you will find the three seasons of You, two seasons of Narcos and – more amazing – the realistic drama The Maid.
The most popular titles, country by country
In a menu, we will have access to the lists of the most popular, country by country, but this time without the number of hours, even if, In an official post, Pablo Perez de Rosso, the vice -Président of Netflix responsible for the content strategy, planning and analysis, says these top 10 nationals will also be calculated on the standard of the number of hours viewed.
It also explains that the platform will not communicate the rates of completion – the proportion of spectators who went to the end of the last episode or the last sequence of a feature film: “We are convinced that if you have missed the end of an episode on the ten that counts a series (a crying baby or a netflix and chill evening …) or if you see several times a sequence rather than the whole movie, any form of viewing must take into account to determine the popularity of a title. “
For the platform, it is also a question of giving its blessing to the modes of consumption of the images it has generated (in the United States, the expression Netflix and Chill has passed into the current language to designate An evening started in front of Sex Education or Stranger Things and finished in bed, or on the sofa) than to thicken a little more the smoke screen that surrounds decision-making criteria.
