Netflix Canada Shares Ranked Lists of “What We Watched in 2019”

Stranger Things 3, Murder Mystery, and 6 Underground Dominate the Year

Netflix is notoriously tight-lipped about their streaming numbers, but today they shed some light on what movies and TV series viewers are watching.

Today Netflix dropped three top ten lists that reveal their most popular 2019 content. The lists rank the service’s Top Ten TV shows and Top Ten movies, and just for good measure, Netflix included an Overall Top Ten list.

Titles that made the lists had to be released on Netflix in 2019 and include Netflix originals and licensed content. If there is a trend on the list, it’s the dominance of Netflix original titles.

Of course, Stranger Things 3 is going to kick ass on a most-streamed list. I’m more surprised that a recent title like 6 Underground ranks so high; the film only dropped this month. I can’t help but wonder what made Michael Bay’s latest blockbuster do so well? Is it Netflix’s huge advertising budget, their smart algorithm placing the movie in front of the right viewers, or are that many people starving for some Bay-hem?

The Adam Sandler spy comedy Murder Mystery also did extremely well. I didn’t watch Murder Mystery, but after seeing its popularity on streaming, I feel like I have to at least give it a shot. After watching Uncut Gems, I will give Sandler at least a couple of passes for his wack-ass movies.

Sidenote: It’s great to see The 6ix represented on the TV list. Both The Umbrella Academy and Titans are filmed in and around Toronto.
