streaming content platforms They are in full swing, especially taking into account the moment we are living where we can do little more than watch series and movies from each. Every day the catalog of these services is more extensive and, among all these publications, one or the other becomes a worldwide success. Today we dedicate this article to the content of the red N. We collect the most viewed Netflix original series of its entire history.
Audience Data: Netflix's Biggest Secret
The first thing you should know before learning about the list of series is that both Netflix and the rest of the platforms do not make it easy for you to find out the real audience data for their content.
None of them usually make these data public and, if they comment on any of them officially, they do so under their own measurement criteria.
In the case of the Red N platform, until relatively recently they established their numbers based on those users whose visits were from at least 70% of the content. That is to say, anyone who stopped watching a series or movie before this did not fall within their analysis.
Apparently, this made their numbers not as high as those of other platforms and they decided to change the "measurement system". Currently, anyone who consumes at least 2 minutes of a series or a movie counts as a "single user" for the numbers of this.

Following these publications, platforms such as What's On Netflix They are dedicated to collecting the data that the streaming service discloses. Once the information is extracted, update their listings offering the latest official report from the big red N.
