Suits and Bluey have broken all previous records. Suits, the hit legal drama starring the future Duchess of Sussex, set a new US streaming record after enjoying a resurgence in popularity in 2023. According to media analysts Nielsen, the show, which first ran from 2011 to 2019, was watched for 57.7 billion minutes on Netflix last year. That beat The Office’s record of 57.1 billion minutes, set in 2020.
Children’s show Bluey was the second most-watched previous year, with 43.9 billion minutes on Disney+.
The Nielsen report also revealed that there were no original shows from the streamers in the end-of-year top 10 list, with all being acquired from other networks. Apple TV+’s Ted Lasso was the original, racking 16.9 billion minutes of viewing time.
Netflix show The Night Agent was in second place with 14.4 billion. Moana, from Disney+, was the most streamed film, with 11.6 billion viewing minutes.
Suits first ran on the USA Network cable channel but saw a massive surge in viewership after being added to Netflix’s library. Time magazine said it was the “perfect binge show” in August. “Suits hits a sweet spot,” Eliana Dockterman wrote. “The plots are silly but never dumb.”
The dialogue may make you roll your eyes, but it’s clever often enough. “You can look down at your computer to answer emails for 40 minutes and look back up again,… but her renown and celebrity are probably a factor in some people clicking play when they see her. Suits had more content (83 hours) than The Office (73 hours), so it had an advantage”.
Children’s show Bluey, which follows the adventures of a family of blue heelers, was the second most-watched show of 2023, with 43.9 billion minutes on Disney+. The Australian series has become a global phenomenon since its debut in 2018, winning multiple awards and gaining a dedicated fanbase. Its success has been attributed to its heartwarming stories, relatable characters, and positive messages for children.
