You continued its run as the top series in Nielsen’s streaming rankings for the first week of November — though it fell below a billion minutes of watch time for the first time since its third season debuted.
The Netflix thriller came in at 994 million minutes of watch time (about 16.57 million hours, to use Netflix’s new preferred metric), easily leading the second-place original series, Squid Game (673 million).
It was not, however, the No. 1 title overall in the Nielsen rankings. That belongs to Netflix’s feature film The Harder They Fall, which racked up just under 1.2 billion minutes of viewing time in its first week streaming.
The original series list was dominated by Netflix, with only Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso — in 10th place at 310 million minutes — breaking into the top 10 from other streamers. Three shows — Narcos: Mexico (512 million minutes of viewing time), Big Mouth (360 million) and Colin in Black and White (356 million) — debuted in the top 10 with their season or series premieres.
