"Stranger Things" season four.

Netflix

  • Nielsen released its list of the most-watched original streaming shows based on total minutes viewed in the US last year.
  • Netflix dominated, with all but two of the top 15 spots. Because the methodology favors shows with more episodes, Disney+'s Marvel and "Star Wars" series were notably absent.
  • Also absent was HBO's "House of the Dragon," which Nielsen doesn't count as a streaming original.
