Most watched genres and decades

Genres and Decades organize recorded titles by story type and release era. Bars show which views appear most in your history.

Where to find it: Profile > Stats > Statistics > Genres and Decades

How to

  1. Read the genres with the longest bars and their counts.
  2. Compare decades to discover the most common release periods.
  3. Check your watched records if a preference does not seem to represent your history.

How to interpret bars

  • Genres come from recorded movies and shows with watched episodes. A show enters as a title without repeating its genre for each episode.
  • A title may belong to several genres. Adding all bars can therefore exceed the title count.
  • Most watched genres shows frequency in your history, not an average rating by genre.
  • Decades uses the title’s release period. Watching a 1990s movie today contributes to the 1990s.
  • Titles with incomplete genres or years may not appear in the expected view. Complete watched records and check title information.

What your viewing history highlights

  • A long Genres bar indicates more frequent representation of that genre among recorded titles. A movie may contribute to drama and comedy at once.
  • Decades bars show which release eras are most represented. They do not show the year you watched.
  • A show with many episodes remains one work in genre and decade composition. It does not dominate every bar only because you marked many episodes.
  • Frequent genres and highly rated genres are different questions. For manually chosen favorites, check Tops and favorite people in Wall.

If a preference is missing

  • Check whether the titles you have in mind are recorded watched. Putting them in a list or Top does not replace logging.
  • Open the title to check genres and year. Missing information can leave a work out of the expected bar.
  • The genre highlight shows the most represented, not necessarily every genre in your history at once.
  • For how much you logged this month, consult Activity. Genres and Decades summarize available viewing history.
