Hollywood has always had a hard time figuring out what does (and doesn't) work on Netflix. So we spent some time digging into the company's self-reported top 10 lists. Sharing a few of my favorite findings...
The average Netflix hit is in the top 10 for 2 weeks or less. Since week 1 is actually just a weekend, that means it stays in the top 10 for about 10 days.
People have spent more time watching the top 10 foreign-language TV shows than the top 10 English-language shows over the last 8 months.

But...
A lot of that has to do with Squid Game, which basically doubled viewership of top 10 shows for a few weeks.
The biggest suppliers of Netflix hits are the U.S., South Korea, the U.K. and Spain. Colombia rounds out the top 5.
This is my personal favorite chart, which shows how tastes in different countries compare to the global top 10.

South Korea and Japan are the most different of any market.
Big thanks to @YasufumiSaito for his help with all these charts, which you can explore -- >

Made it home with 3% phone battery, a #sxsw miracle.
Last night at dinner, someone asked me if I thought people still wanted to watch “long-form content,” also known as TV and movies. It made me die inside just a little bit.
Tony Hawk broke his leg a few days ago, but that didn’t stop him from attending the premiere of a new documentary about him.

This Dave Chappelle special has caused the greatest worker uproar inside Netflix I can remember. Here is a story about the tension between the streaming giant and its workers.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Some news: Netflix employees raised several red flags with the special ahead of its release. Ted Sarandos and Bela Bajaria decided to release it as is.
Members of Netflix's black and trans employee groups met with Netflix leadership after Chappelle's previous special (Sticks & Stones) to discuss the transphobic remarks.

They agreed they would be more careful in the future. So this special has employees *Very upset*
