NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES CODE

It's always made Netflix data less meaningful, which is likely why it's now unveiled total viewership hours for its top 10 original films and series, including Extraction, Money Heist, The Witcher, Stranger Things, Army of the Dead, and more. But who here hasn't given up on something after the first few minutes? If you bail half an hour into an eight-episode hourlong series, have you really “viewed” the series? Netflix seems to think so. Netflix counts watching just two minutes of a TV show or a movie as a view. Whenever Netflix releases viewership numbers for its originals, they always come with a caveat: its (very relaxed) methodology.
