Netflix reveals most rewatched, binged movies and shows of 2018

Romantic comedies To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before and The Kissing Booth are the most rewatched Netflix original movies of 2018, the streaming giant has said. Netflix also revealed the ‘most binged’ original shows of the year, which was led by the coming-of-age comedy-drama, On My Block.

The company famously refuses to reveal hard numbers, although it has previously acknowledged that 80 million subscribers watched at least one original romantic comedy in what has come to be known as ‘The Summer of Love’. Stars of To All the Boys... and The Kissing Booth also witnessed major social media bumps. Noah Centineo and Joel Courtney’s fan following grew significantly, as did Queer Eye’s the Fab Five’s.

At least half of the service’s 130 million-plus subscribers who watched To All the Boys or The Kissing Booth, watched it again. The only other feature film mentioned in this list was Roxanne Roxanne.

However, Netflix revealed a top 10 list of the most binged shows of the year:

On My Block
Making a Murderer: Part 2
13 Reasons Why: Season 2
Last Chance U: Indy
Bodyguard
Fastest Car
The Haunting of Hill House
