Surprisingly, Netflix's extremely successful Stranger Things lost out to tv Time's top show for 2022, which was revealed by the social media platform used by millions of consumers to track the media they watch. The critically acclaimed show's fourth season, which debuted in two parts in the summer of 2022, went on to become the most watched English-language programme in Netflix history. Amazingly, the first 28 days after Season 4's debut saw more than one billion hours of viewing. Although a release date hasn't been set, Season 5 will be the show's last instalment.


Stranger Things came in second among the top 6 most-watched tv shows of 2022, according to the official tv Time twitter account. One Piece, a long-running anime series that is currently having its own Netflix treatment in a live-action format, emerged as the unexpected winner. Another Netflix programme, Wednesday, which has garnered enormous figures akin to Stranger Things 4 since its release, was shockingly left off the list. However, it's possible that viewers of tv Time spent more time watching other programmes because of the late november premiere and the limited number of episodes (just eight).
