Clearly many prefer its third party content which will be interesting when this starts to disappear.

As of right now, 7 out of the all-categories top 10 are carrying the N logo, which denotes that Netflix is at the very least the exclusive distributor in the UK, though it may also be the commissioner. Five of the top 10 are serials, all of which are either distributed or outright commissioned by Netflix. Of these, two run to multiple seasons.
It’s a common misconception that streaming services are all about the movies - actually they are more interested in successful drama franchises because subsequent seasons of successful shows are a banker. They do go looking for low budget films produced by big Hollywood names who tend to be better known for acting but want to get in to directing or producing because they get a big name at relatively low cost but these really are schedule fillers (in broadcast parlance).
