Maybe you've ever wondered, after all, what are the most popular / highest-rated movies on Netflix? Well, you don't need to question yourself anymore, after all, Netflix itself decided for the first time to reveal which are the films in its catalog that had the most audience.
Some items on this list may not be new to anyone, names like Bird Box, for example, were themes of videos, podcast memes… Technically they dominated the networks, as a result of such “publicity” of the film, it attracts even more people to watch it, and this just counting on the Netflix platform, its numbers if it didn't have piracy would certainly be much higher.
Other names here may end up surprising many, after all they did not receive so much prominence, and were not commented on by the networks so that one can imagine such success within the platform. Remembering that the list is only original Netflix productions, and that were released in the last 3 years, not including films in the catalog but that have been produced by other studios…

05 – Mystery in the Mediterranean – 73 million
As much as there are many people who criticize Adam Sendler's films, the success they have on the platform is undeniable. Even more when you mix comedy and mystery! Making it the fifth highest-rated movie on Netflix, it proves more than concrete that everyone loves to hate Adam movies.
Mystery on the Mediterranean was the sixth partnership between Netflix and Adam Sendler and also the second partnership between him and Jennifer Aniston. The film was directed by Kyle Newacheck, with a screenplay by James Vanderbilt.
04 - Squadron 6 – 83 million
After the success of two Deadpool movies on his resume, Ryan Reynolds can attract audiences to a movie by himself, even more with Michael Bay's direction with explosions and lots of action. For lovers of a good action, it is an excellent choice, more than deserved all the views, even more with the propaganda made about the film.
03 – Double change – 85 million
A good dose of action in contrast to comedy to give that emotion and lightness, attracting and entertaining those who watch it. The film Double Change is Netflix's third highest-rated film, perhaps because of this mix between genres.
The film Double Change was directed by Peter Berg and with a screenplay by Sean O'Keefe and Brian Helgeland, with none other than Mark Wahlberg (Transformers: The Last Gentleman, and later Uncharted) as the protagonist.
02 – Bird Box – 89 million
Bid Box was an unstoppable success, most likely also due to the excellent publicity made by Netflix about the film, after all it was even released on Open TV Channels.
The film is inspired by the book series of the same name written by Josh Malerman, while the film was directed by Susanne Bier, and screenplay written by Eric Heisserer. Also featuring the performance of Sandra Bullock playing the protagonist. Although it was not a critical success, it certainly reached enormous proportions and the appreciation of many users of the platform, being among the most talked about subjects in the world after its launch.
01 - Redemption – 99 million views
Undeniable success, most likely you have already seen at least one video on youtube dedicated to this film. What strengthens its success even more is the fact that it is still very recent, compared to Bird Box, for example, when it came out it was a bang and occupied all the media in every way, compared to the book, creating theories, memes etc.
The Rescue stars Tom Hemsworth, the Thor of the MCU and he showed that he is not going to be one of those actors who will be forever stuck in the legacy of a specific character, the success of Rescue is proof of this becoming the highest rated movie on Netflix .
