Every week, we update you on the 10 biggest movies and top 10 shows on Netflix. They offer a timely glimpse at the preferences of the average Netflix user, and sometimes even give us insight into whether or not an original series is likely to return for another season. But with this week’s top 10 update being the last of the year, Netflix also revealed the 10 most popular movies and shows (English and non-English) that streamed on the service in 2022.
