Netflix original series “The Lincoln Lawyer” maintained its position as the top streaming title on all home televisions during the week of October 28 to November 3, reaching another billion-minute week with 1.45 billion minutes of viewing time.

Another Netflix original series, “The Diplomat,” landed at No. 2 overall after launching its second season, drawing 1.08 billion viewing minutes, mostly from older viewers, as 71% of viewers were over 50 that week . The index was also above average among Asian viewers, who made up 9% of total viewers.

On Hulu, the Season 4 finale of Only Murders in the Building propelled the series to its most-watched week ever with 599 million minutes of airtime, landing it at No. 6 on the original charts.

Meanwhile, the final two episodes (S1:E8-9) of Agatha All Along generated 744 million minutes, enough to reach No. 5 on the original chart and No. 10 overall. Notably, it was also the only title of the week to have a greater concentration of Asian viewers (up 10%) than The Diplomat.

“Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black” (Netflix) continued to perform solidly in its second week, landing at No. 3 on the original charts and No. 5 overall with 833 million minutes. It was once again the top performer among black viewers, who made up 63% of the audience.

“Lost” continued its 20th anniversary binge-fest on Netflix, once again topping the acquired charts and securing third place overall with 967 million minutes of watch time. Adult animation also continues to be a leading genre among library content: “Family Guy,” “Bob’s Burgers” and “The Simpsons” all reach the top 10 of the charts.

There were several new entries in the film charts, led by Despicable Me 4 on Peacock. The animated film began its streaming run on Halloween after a summer theatrical window. Not surprisingly, children accounted for 38% of the 502 million minutes consumed, while adults ages 18 to 49 accounted for 40%.

Netflix’s sci-fi/slasher feature Waste of time – released on October 30th – landed at number 3 on the film charts with 478 million minutes. The streamer’s other thriller, Don’t moveled the field with 633 million minutes, up 181 million from its debut the previous week.

Netflix has also released its new documentary Marthaabout the life of Martha Stewart, on Wednesday this break.
