Nielsen announced that Suits was watched for a total of 57.7 billion minutes on Netflix in 2023, making it the most-streamed show of the year.
The 57.7 billion-minute figure was not a Netflix-only total. Nielsen attributed that 2023 viewing total to Suits across its availability on both Netflix and Peacock.
Full reasoning
Nielsen’s own 2023 streaming wrap-up says Suits spent 12 weeks at No. 1 “as a result of its availability on Netflix and Peacock” and that “the program … racked up 57.7 billion viewing minutes in 2023.” That means the 57.7 billion minutes is the show’s overall 2023 streaming total in Nielsen’s reporting, not a Netflix-only figure.
Secondary coverage of the Nielsen data says the same thing. TVLine reported that Suits, available on Netflix and Peacock, reached 57.7 billion minutes viewed in 2023, and Reuters likewise said the total came “thanks to its availability on both Netflix and Comcast-owned Peacock.”
So the article is incorrect to state that Nielsen said the show logged 57.7 billion minutes on Netflix specifically. The sourced figure is for combined viewing, not Netflix alone.
