Netflixhas taken anew approachto reporting the popularity of its top shows and movies. With a striking amount of transparency, the once secretive streamer has now revealed exactly how many hours the world has spent watching its top performers in the first half of 2023.

Also in the top 10 movies isAKAa French language crime thriller which stars former Manchester United footballer Eric Cantona in a major role. Yes, you read that correctly. King Eric, as he is known to the red half of Manchester, plays the head of a crime syndicate with links to a Sudanese warlord. Because of course.

In fairness, the movie has actually been well-received. Since its April release, it has been viewed for 120,000,000hours. Aside from its obvious popularity, it proved a hit with critics and boasts an82% Rotten Tomatoes scoreas well as a 75% rating with audiences (some Manchester City fans probably brought it down).

Eric has been acting now for some time in truth, starring in the dramaUlysses and Mona, the comedyYou and the Nightand even played the lead in the Ken Loach-directedLooking For Eric.It’s hard to imagine Wayne Rooney or other former United players performing similar exploits.

To be honest, many of the other top 10 movies in the list are likely to trouble thebest Netflix movies(save forKnives Out 2), while the top TV show of the first half of the year has beenThe Night Agent,although we expect thatSquid Game: The Challengemight have something to say about that for the second part of 2023.
