Netflix has dominated the 2022 Nielsen U.S. streaming charts.
Stranger Things reached No. 1 on both the overall streaming program list and list of streaming originals with 52 billion minutes viewed across all 34 episodes of the four-season series. Ozark sits at No. 2 on streaming originals and No. 4 overall with 31.3 billion minutes viewed. Impressively, Wednesday's eight-episode first season came in at 18.6 billion minutes viewed.
NCIS and Cocomelon came in at no. 1 and no. 2 on the overall list, with Greys Anatomy at no. 6, Gilmore Girls at no. 9, Seinfield at no. 10, Supernatural at no. 11, Wednesday at no. 12, Heartland at no., 13, and Cobra Kai at no. 14.
Despite the streamer's dip in subscribers and planned crackdown on password sharing, Netflix remains the top streaming home for both original and overall content sitting at roughly 209 million global subscribers as of 2022 (H/T Insider Intelligence). A cheaper, ad-supported tier was released last year in order to drive subscribership, but its effects remain to be seen.
