Netflix releases its 2017 'binge stats report,' trolls users making poor choices
2017 was a big year for Netflix, but a pretty sad one for a few people.
The streaming giant released its 2017 "Year in Bingeing" stats and the results are a bit of a mixed bag. Netflix keeps its numbers pretty close to the vest but they've been known to grant us a few nuggets here and there.
As for straight-forward data Netflix revealed that members watched a little more one billion hours per week and that the average member watched around 60 movies on the service in 2017.
We also now know that some poor soul in the UK watched Bee Movie 357 times over the last 12 months and that someone else streamed Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl 365 days in a row.
To the 53 people who've watched A Christmas Prince every day for the past 18 days: Who hurt you?

We've also got some weird categories to dissect. Rather than just give us top-tens, Netflix put its own spin on things. Take a look.
The Shows We Devoured in 2017
We took an escape from reality in 2017 by devouring (watching more than two hours per day) sci-fi series likes of 3%, Travelers and The OA. The question of ‘whodunit’ (and didn’t do it) in The Keepers and The Confession Tapes also had us watching with might.

The Shows We Savored in 2017
We needed a laugh this year and found that solace by savoring (watching less than two hours per day) shows like Atypical, GLOW, Dear White People and Big Mouth. We also took care to enjoy the splendor of The Crown (it is a visual feast fit for a queen after all).

The Shows That Got Us Cheating in 2017

The Shows That Brought Us Together in 2017
Whether for the adventure, Chief Hopper or bromance (#DadSteve), Netflix members ranked Stranger Things as the top show to watch together as a family. Nostalgia also scored top points for family watching via Star Trek: Discovery, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life and Fuller House.
