Netflix: Users spent 812m hours watching The Night Agent

Users watched The Night Agent for 812 million hours, making the political thriller its most viewed show in the first half of this year. Covering nearly 100 billion hours of viewing time, other shows that featured prominently on the list included Ginny and Georgia, Gilmore Girls, Seinfeld, Friends and The Office.
