Netflix has always been secretive about its viewership statistics. Although the popularity of shows like The Office and Stranger Things is evident through online memes and spoilers, concrete data confirming these trends has been scarce. According to Bloomberg, Netflix is now taking a significant step toward openness by providing live updates of its top 10 most-watched shows and films.
Netflix users can now discover the platform's most-watched content daily. In the U.S. on Wednesday, February 26, Love Is Blind led the TV Shows category, with Narcos: Mexico and Locke & Key following closely. On the movies front, Netflix's original production The Last Thing He Wanted (2020), featuring Ben Affleck and Anne Hathaway, claimed the top spot, trailed by A Haunted House (2013) and Foreigner (2017).
This update marks a significant shift for Netflix, yet many details about viewer habits remain unclear. The criteria for what constitutes a "view"—such as the minimum watch time—are still undefined, and precise audience numbers for these titles are not disclosed.
Currently, Netflix subscribers can access the closest equivalent to Nielsen-style TV ratings through this feature. Below, you’ll find the complete rankings of the most-watched Netflix movies and TV shows in the U.S. as of February 26.
