Netflix has become a powerhouse in the entertainment industry, consistently delivering blockbuster films, binge-worthy series, and captivating live events. To quantify their success, Netflix tracks viewership data, providing valuable insight into what captivates audiences worldwide. Here’s a breakdown of the most-watched content on Netflix, based on hours viewed and completed viewing equivalents (CVE). CVE is calculated by dividing the total runtime of a show or film by the number of hours watched. This metric offers a more accurate gauge of popularity than simply counting households.
