Netflix Inc, which keeps most of its viewership figures close to the vest, has begun to share more in the past year.<\/p>\n

That gives us a rough picture of the streaming service\u2019s biggest hits. Its top TV show in the past four quarters was \u201cStranger Things,\u201d a sci-fi show viewed by 64 million households in its first month.<\/p>\n

Based on the data it\u2019s released, that was followed by \u201cUmbrella Academy,\u201d which finished its first season, and \u201cLa Casa de Papel,\u201d a Spanish show that\u2019s been successful in Latin America and Europe.<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s feature films also have a clear leader. \u201cBird Box,\u201d a supernatural thriller starring Sandra Bullock, was seen by 80 million households in its first month.<\/p>\n

That was followed by the Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston comedy \u201cMurder Mystery\u201d and \u201cTriple Frontier,\u201d an action movie with Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac.<\/p>\n

Now, this isn\u2019t a complete picture of Netflix\u2019s track record. The company may choose not to release the viewing data on other movies or shows that performed well.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s likely that the programs it has highlighted line up fairly well with most of its biggest successes of the past year.<\/p>\n
