The latest Nielsen overall top ten regular streaming titles list (for the week of 13th to 19th March 2023) is out now. Several interesting films and series have made it to the list but the topmost streaming title (with respect to total viewing minutes) has been bagged by the romantic psychological thriller Netflix series ‘You’. But hold on, there is more to these numbers than meets the eye.
‘You’ boasts of more than a massive 1.2 billion minutes of viewing for the same period. On the second place on Nielsen’s top ten list is another Netflix title – the fantasy drama series ‘Shadow and Bone’ (with 1.14 billion minutes).
On the other hand, the Disney+ show ‘The Mandalorian’ (with 1.12 billion minutes) and Idris Elba’s crime thriller movie ‘Luther: The Fallen Sun’ (with 859 million minutes) have bagged the third and fourth spots on the Nielsen top ten list.
Moreover, the widely admired post-apocalyptic video game to small screen series adaptation ‘The Last of Us’ has received the sixth spot on the list with 817 million minutes of viewing.
An interesting and important thing to note is that despite ‘The Last of Us’ series trailing behind the top three shows namely ‘You’, ‘Shadow and Bone’, and ‘The Mandalorian’ in terms of total viewing hours, the HBO Max series has still got the highest viewing time per episode. ‘The Last of Us’ consists of nine episodes with a total viewing time of 817 million minutes. So, the viewing time per episode comes out to be around a whopping 90.8 million minutes!
For the sake of comparison, the viewing time per episode counts for the Netflix shows ‘You’ and ‘Shadow and Bone’ are 30.1 million minutes per episode and 71.4 million minutes per episode, respectively. And the Disney+ series ‘The Mandalorian’ viewing time per episode count is 58.7 million minutes per episode.
So, HBO’s ‘The Last of Us’ has outperformed all the top three shows – Netflix’s ‘You’ and ‘Shadow and Bone’, and the Disney+ show ‘The Mandalorian’ as per viewing time per episode.
Here’s the full list of Nielsen’s top ten overall streaming titles for the aforesaid period.
