Netflix most watched shows of 2022

How many of Netflix’s most popular shows and movies of 2022 have you watched?

It’s been an interesting year for Netflix. Back in July, the platform had lost almost a million subscribers, as many decided to quit the service.

This meant it had lost members for two quarters in a row.

But the fact remains that it is still the number one streaming platform and series such as Stranger Things have become more popular than ever.

So, what have we been watching on Netflix, and how does this compare to the rest of the world?

We’ve compiled the data from Flix Patrol to reveal the top ten most watched movies and shows on Netflix in the UK for the entire year.

Yes, How the Grinch Stole Christmas was the most popular film on Netflix in the UK this year, with 2016 family animation, Sing, sitting in second. And taking third place is the mind boggling true crime documentary that had everyone talking, The Tinder Swindler.
