Considering how popular they are, chances are you’ve seen all of these.

Thanks to the pandemic, it feels like we’ve all watched every last thing there is to offer on Netflix.

The folks behind the decisions of what is added to the streaming service’s library are always adding new stuff, some of great, some of it not-so-great, but in the almost half-year we’ve had so far, some of it has proven to be a lot more popular than others.

Four of the top five spots are taken up by Netflix Originals, while four of the top five are also family-friendly releases. You may have also noticed that some of these releases – I Care A Lot, for example – aren’t actually available on Netflix over here, as these are the US popularity numbers.

(FYI: the extremely good I Care A Lot is available on Prime Video here.)

As broken down by the folks over at Forbes, here are the top ten most-watched movies on Netflix this year so far…

  1. We Can Be Heroes
  2. The Secret Life of Pets 2
  3. The Mitchells vs. The Machines
  4. Thunder Force
  5. Yes Day
  6. Bigfoot Family
  7. I Care a Lot
  8. The Little Rascals
  9. War Dogs
  10. Finding ‘Ohana
