Netflix announced,in November 2021, that it would be publishing aweekly listdetailing its most popular TV shows over a seven-day period – and it’s proven a great way to gauge what the world is watching at any given time.

Ranking titles based on weekly hours viewed – i.e. the total number of hours subscribers globally watched each title between Monday and Sunday of the previous week – Netflix regularly shares four separate lists; two for movies (English and Non-English) and two for TV shows (English and Non-English).

It’s also worth noting that the streamer considers each season of a given series as standalone entities, so you might see two of seasons of thebest Netflix showsmake the cut in the same week. That is, if they’re popular enough, of course.

Below, we’ve rounded up the 10 most popular English-speaking TV shows on the streamer this past week. We’ve also collated thebiggest Netflix movies, too, if you’re interested in checking out the best feature-length offerings on the streamer right now.
