The 10 most viewed movies in the history of Netflix

Action and love rule on Netflix. According to data announced by Ted Sarandos, CEO of the company, during a Vox Media conference, subscribers to the streaming platform have a weakness for adrenaline-charged movies and romantic stories. At least, that is what we can draw as a conclusion from the list of the 10 films that accumulate the most hours of viewing.

On other occasions, there has been talk of the Netflix content that has had the greatest number of views, but in these studies any user who had seen at least 2 minutes of the title in question entered, so it was not too descriptive of the series and movies that have hooked subscribers the most.

This list is more reliable, since, leaving aside certain differences in the duration of the feature films, it tells us exactly which are the films that have kept the viewer glued to the screen for the longest time. And, what has been said, 7 of the 10 that make up the top belong to the action or romantic genre. It is clear what is the weakness of the users.

Still, the film that tops the ranking has nothing to do with general tastes. This is Blind, the film directed by Susanne Bier and starring Sandra Bullock that shows us a post-apocalyptic world where a powerful force can kill people just with its presence. After its premiere in December 2018, it quickly became that movie that everyone watched and is one of the best horror movies of the last decade according to SensaCine users.

This is the complete list of the 10 films that have accumulated the most viewing hours.
