On the biggest streaming services, Poles are more likely to watch titles they already know – this is the general summary of the main Netflix productions in the first half of this year, prepared by Plum Research for Wirtualnemedia.pl.
The indicator taken into account when compiling the popularity lists of the platform’s titles was the total time spent watching a given production.

In the ranking of exclusively Polish titles (films and series combined) on Netflix, the absolute leader is Telewizja Polska’s “Ranczo”, watched for a total of 12.7 million hours. In second place on the podium is the crime film “Rojst”, which viewers spent 7.6 million hours watching.
