The company updates its weekly "Top 10 on Netflix" every Tuesday, based on hours viewed from Monday through Sunday the previous week for original and licensed titles. Netflix's rankings are broken down into top 10 charts for films in English, TV in English, films in non-English languages and TV in non-English languages.

A ranking of all-time most watched titles also lives on the site, detailing shows that have the most viewing hours in their first 28 days of release. Netflix also has these split into films in English, TV in English, films in non-English languages and TV in non-English languages -- but for our charts below, we don't differentiate between languages.

If a new season releases its episodes in two parts on different dates, Netflix counts the watch time of the first volume's episodes for their first 28 days, then it counts the watch time of the second volume's episodes for their first 28 days. These all-time rankings are also updated every Tuesday, whenever any programs make it into the charts during the week prior.

Shows and movies need sustained popularity in many countries to crack into the all-time most watched charts. That means you can see titles with "Top 10" badges in Netflix's app for days, but they still may not be generating enough hours of viewing to make the all-time rankings.

For example, the first half of You's fourth season came out Feb. 9. The show, a popular psychological thriller about a serial killer, generated 183.9 million hours of viewing since then. And each subsequent season of the show has grown in popularity. But because this season is being released in two parts and the second half of the fourth season won't be released March 9, the final tally for You's full viewership won't be clear until early April.

Meanwhile, teen mystery hit Outer Banks returned on Thursday with its third season and racked up 155 million watch hours in just four days. And true-crime limited series Murdaugh Murders and British horror-thriller film The Strays, both released Wednesday, have been building search interest on Google.

But TV shows need to eclipse half a billion hours to make it onto the all-time list, and films need more than 200 million. Even the most popular shows and movies need multiple weeks and enduring attention to accumulate enough.

The following are Netflix's most watched series, based on Netflix's own reporting of total hours viewed in the first 28 days of each title's release. Again, if a new season releases its episodes in two volumes on different dates, Netflix counts the watch time of the first volume's episodes for their first 28 days, then it counts the watch time of the second volume's episodes for their first 28 days.

Netflix appears to have never released a non-English-language film that generated enough viewing hours to make it into an overall top-watched ranking. But additional widely watched non-English language movies on Netflix have included:
