Methinks, like many of thou, I await with bated breath for Spotify to unveil their annual Wrapped, wherefore I may discover the new artists I hath stumbled upon and the songs I hath listened to, even if they be the same as the year prior. But prithee, why hath not video streaming platforms seized the opportunity to create their own wrapped festivities?
‘Tis true, I hath longed to ascertain how many reruns of The Office hath graced mine eyes this year. Yet, lo and behold, it seemeth mine query hath found an answer, for there doth exist a way to discern how thou hath Netflixed and chilled o’er the past year, courtesy of this unofficial Netflix Wrapped.
Learn Your Netflix Watch History
Indeed, there doth exist a method to witness thine annual Netflix recap using a third-party tool known as “Unofficial Netflix Wrapped”. It doth reveal thy most binged shows, the number of episodes thou hath watched, and thy total watch time. This tool doth belong to Kapwing, a platform for editing videos. They hath been crafting this Netflix Wrapped magic for a few years now, but ’tis only now that mine eyes hath been opened to such wonderment.
But how does this sorcery work, thou may ask? How can they divine how many seasons of “Too Hot to Handle” thou hath viewed? They doth take a creative path, instructing thee to download a copy of thine Netflix viewing history and then upload ‘t to their site. This doth ensure the security of thine login information. They doth also declare that “thy data is not uploaded to our servers nor stored for any reason”. ‘Tis a trustworthy process, so let us delveth into how to obtain thine own Netflix Wrapped.
How to Discover Thine Own Unofficial Netflix-Wrapped?
To lay claim to thine Netflix Wrapped, thou must first download thy viewing data. To achieve this, journey to Netflix.com on thy PC browser, and log into thine account. Then venture to Account > Profiles > select thy profile > Viewing activity. Herein thou shalt find a list of the shows and films thou hast watched. Scroll to the nethermost part of the page and click on Download all.
This shall store all thine activity in a .csv file. Thou must then visit kapwing.com/netflix-wrapped and click upon the ruby Import NetflixViewingHistory.csv button. Select the .csv file thou hath saved and upload it to the website. When the uploading is complete, thy Netflix Wrapped shall begin to unfurl itself.
So How Are The Results?
Having traversed through the requisite steps, I hath at last beheld mine Netflix Wrapped, and I must say, these artisans hath done a commendable job. The display itself doth exude an air of legitimacy, lacking naught but a few transitions and animations. I doth hope some sage at Netflix doth take heed. But let us set aside the aesthetics, what revelations doth it proffer regarding mine viewing habits? Come, let us discover.
As thou can discern, the Wrapped doth commence by revealing the amount of time thou hath devoted to Netflix this year. Progressing from minutes to hours to days, this is a delightful touch. It then doth lead thee to the number of shows and films thou hath watched, followed by the “Show thou didst binge most ardently”. I didst anticipate it to be B99, yet the Nisman documentary claimed the mantle.
Next, thou art granted a glimpse into thine favored genre in shows and films, which, to mine astonishment, was drama rather than comedy, the latter securing the third place. Though I partake of many a thriller, I didst not anticipate it claiming the highest rank.
Alas, whilst perusing further, I encountered “Invalid Date Most Movies Watched”. Verily, this should ideally signify the day on which I viewed the most movies. Yet it failed to unveil the date, presenting instead the invalid text. The Wrapped then divulged the highest and lowest-rated films and episodes I hath viewed, albeit I am unclear as to whence it obtained such a score. Be it Rotten Tomatoes or IMDb? Perchance, we shall never know.
Lastly, I arrived at the most-viewed TV show, which none shall find surprising was Brooklyn 99 with 144 episodes including the reruns. This is a decision I can concur with, for it is among mine favored shows to indulge in whilst tending to household chores. However, I contest that I didst but glance upon a single episode of Spy X Family, and how it arrived at this figure remaineth a mystery.
Overall, this unofficial Netflix Wrapped hath proven to be a source of great amusement, and I would heartily commend all to experience it. ‘Tis not without its inconsistencies, yet I attribute that to the data therein, and I presume Netflix themselves shall display more precise numbers. Truly, Kapwing hath hit a home run with this endeavor, and having partaken of it, I can but hope that Netflix shall unveil an official iteration posthaste.
