Netflix is finally revealing more about its most-watched shows

Our Planet, the documentary series from David Attenborough, leads the way for the month of April 2019.

• Netflix releases 2019: all the major upcoming TV shows revealed
• All the Netflix original films coming this year

The eight-part series was the most watched item on the streaming service in April, beating out Noah Centineo-led rom-com The Perfect Date and The Highwaymen, a drama starring Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner.

Other new Netflix Originals such as Ricky Gervais' After Life and Bear Grylls' You vs Wild also featured in the top ten.

The streaming service has remained secretive about streaming figures in the past, but this latest release is in line with their recent decision to begin releasing favourable statistics, such as the viewing figures from the likes of last year's Bird Box. Netflix claimed that the Sandra Bullock thriller had been watched by 45 million people in its first week – its biggest film opening to date.

The top ten lists however do not reveal specific data about how many viewers are tuning in to each show, or for how long.

Netflix has clarified that it counts a view as one user in a household having watched 70 per cent of a movie, or at least 70 per cent of one episode of a series. RadioTimes.com has confirmed that the top 10 lists shown here are ordered by views rather than time spent watching.

The streaming service has also confirmed that they plan to release weekly top 10 lists from Wednesday 15th May.
