Netflix has released a brand-new breakdown of what its most popular programs and motion pictures were for 2022, with a few surprises here, and a number of offerings that needed to claw their way to renewal despite numerous millions of hours viewed, offered how hard Netflix can be to please.
There are in fact four lists in total, however I’m going to combine them into two, because I believe it’s type of silly to break things up by English-language and non-English, the method they do, and it feels like a way to mark down the non-English series, many of which are leading performers. No Squid Game this year, however other strong entries exist all the same. So here they are:
The Sandman
Netflix
Television Shows
- Stranger Things season 4 (1.87 billion hours)
- Wednesday season 1 (1.314 billion hours)
- Dahmer (962.4 million hours)
- Bridgerton season 2 (775.2 million hours)
- All of Us Are Dead season 1 (659.5 million hours)
- Remarkable Attorney Woo (662 million hours)
- Inventing Anna (654.5 million hours)
- The Watcher (395 million hours)
- The Sandman season 1 (393.1 million hours)
- Virgin River season 4 (304.8 million hours)
So, the “stories” in here include Wednesday being a breakout debut struck unlike anything Netflix has actually ever seen, this side of Squid Game. It has not been restored for season 2 yet, but will clearly be a staple series for years to come. Dahmer performed nearly also despite debate offered the subject, and it’s only encouraged Netflix to invest even more in serial killer dramas. We must not discount the great performances of Everybody Are Dead and Amazing Attorney Woo, 2 extraordinary Korean series that show how Netflix continues to cultivate that area. The Sandman hardly scraped its method into a season 2 renewal, in spite of a lot of hours, probably because of its high expense.
The Gray Male
Netflix
Movies
- The Gray Man (265.9 million hours)
- The Adam Project (260.5 million hours)
- Purple Hearts (240.4 million hours)
- Hustle (198.3 million hours)
- The Sea Beast (190.1 million hours)
- The Tinder Swindler (172.1 million hours)
- The Male From Toronto (170.8 million hours)
- Senior Year (167.6 million hours)
- Enola Holmes 2 (158 million hours)
- Giant (152.3 million hours)
You will see something missing here that may otherwise top this list, Glass Onion, as that just debuted last week, and those numbers are still rolling in. Otherwise, Netflix has two of its huge smash hits on top, The Gray Man, which has actually spawned a “Gray Guy Universe” according to Netflix as they attempt to craft their own John Wick/Mission Impossible-type franchise, and The Adam Task, where Ryan Reynolds provided another hit similar to how he finished with Red Notification. Purple Hearts might have appeared to be identical from a lot of other forgettable love motion pictures to hit the surface, however it vastly surpassed them all. Enola Holmes 2 might have been looking for much better numbers, offered its star power and how well the first motion picture did. Troll assemble completion of the list as the only foreign movie on the combined leading 10.
