These were the most watched series and movies on streaming in 2022

2022 may not have been perfect for some, because things that are so cool do not always happen to us. However, in terms of entertainment we cannot complain, since The largest and most important streaming platforms in the world raffled off, releasing a lot of interesting and spectacular movies and series that they had us on the edge of the seat for a long time. Although yes, there were some productions that had more impact than others.

As is now a tradition, the American information, data and market measurement company, Nielsen published its list with the most watched series and tapes of the past year and the truth is that it produced data that left us with a square eye. To begin with and according to The Hollywood Reporterrevealed that the consumption of streaming content increased by 27% in 2022 compared to the figures for 2021, in addition – at least in the United States – viewers spent the equivalent of 19.4 million years on online entertainment services, that is, almost 10.2 trillion minutes. But since we know that they are interested, here we tell you what were the stories that broke it in the internet of thingss.

The most viewed streaming series of 2022

Let’s start with something that makes us spend hours glued in front of the television: the series. It is no secret to anyone that during 2022, the main streaming platforms brought out the best of the best directly to their catalogs. However, in terms of original productions the big winner was Stranger Things, that collected more than 52,000 million minutes of time throughout the year. This is a real triumph for Netflix, since it is the highest figure they have achieved since The office accumulated 57.1 billion minutes during the pandemic.

From there, the streaming giant appears in the entire top 10 of the television projects that broke it onlinedominating the list with titles such as Wednesday, Cobra Kai, Bridgerton Y The Crown among other. Amazon Prime Video is present up to the 11th placebut the curious thing is that they did not earn that position with their most expensive and ambitious production of the year (10.6 billion) No, the series that the caste took out for this service was neither more nor less than The Boyswell tied with The Great British Baking Show per 10.6 billion minutes of playback
