THE YEAR is ending and Netflix is here to help you make sense of your binge-watching habits as the streaming service recently unloaded its end-of-year statistics.

Last year, US cloud-based online survey company Survey Monkey coined the term “Netflix Cheating,” where people watch shows ahead of their significant others. The study showed that globally, 43% of the respondents are “cheating” on their partners.

And Netflix Philippines is embracing the moniker as their “Binge-lit, 2017” list included the top 10 shows Filipinos “cheated on” their significant others with (meaning the shows cheaters shamelessly watched ahead of their partners).

On top of the list is Narcos (the series about the cocaine trade in Colombia) followed by the Netflix original, Stranger Things.

Stranger Things, created by the Duffer Brothers, pulls double duty: while it is a show that tempts people to cheat, it is also a show that apparently brings the entire family together.

Stranger Things topped the list of “shows that brought us together in 2017,” followed by 13 Reasons Why, the serial adaptation of Jay Asher’s 2007 novel.

In all, Netflix subscribers around the world collectively watched 140 million hours of shows a day.

From the data collected, Netflix outed a person from the UK as having watched Bee Movie 357 times this year. The Philippines, meanwhile, has a Madagascar fan who has watched the said flick 131 times.

“It’s an impressive feat, especially as the average member watched around 60 movies on Netflix this year,” said a company press release.

Netflix also named April 14 (Good Friday) as the “most popular” day to watch shows based on the average daily viewing hours per member between Nov. 1, 2016 and Nov. 1, 2017.

“Perhaps during that [Holy Week] weekend, a lot of Filipinos even brought their favorite shows wherever they went because, the Philippines is among the top mobile downloaders in Asia,” said the release.

Results are based on more than 60,000 survey responses from Netflix members between Oct. 24-30.

The sample is representative of an adult population who watch TV shows with their family in 32 countries. The survey included new show or new season launches of Netflix originals from Nov. 1, 2016 — Nov. 1, 2017 only.
