Whatever year-end content you're devouring this December, let's be real – you want to know about your year in Netflix. The streaming service is notoriously private about numbers, but did release a list of the top TV and film titles we binged this year.

Though Netflix released dozens of original films this year, the year-end press release doesn't rank overall viewership; it only names the three that were rewatched with the highest frequency.

Of course, social media has to be a metric, so Netflix also investigated the Instagram audience growth of stars who appeared in a Netflix film or series during the year. Yup, we follow all of them.

  1. The Fab Five (Queer Eye)

  2. Lana Condor (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before)

  3. Joel Courtney (The Kissing Booth)

  4. Miguel Herrán (Elite / La Casa de Papel)

  5. Jaime Lorente Lopez (Elite / La Casa de Papel)

  6. Maria Pedraza (Elite / La Casa de Papel)

  7. Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, Sierra Burgess is a Loser)

  8. Joey King (The Kissing Booth)

  9. Hannah Gadsby (Nanette)

  10. Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina)

For shows, Netflix revealed which series were the most binged – as in, highest watch time per viewing session. You'd think half-hour shows would have the edge here, but gripping dramas like 13 Reasons Why and The Haunting of Hill House still made the list by getting viewers hooked.
