These are the most popular Netflix titles of 2019 - where's the Crown?

Netflix has had a good year – with the release of prestige films like The Irishman and continued success of TV shows like The Witcher, there's been plenty to be excited about in the streaming world over the last twelve months.

Now, with the platform releasing its top ten most streamed titles of the year, it's easy to see exactly how good it's been.

But you may be surprised about some of the shows that didn't quite make the list.

Documentaries proved as popular as ever, with The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann topping the list and Our Planet also in the top ten.

The full top ten of the year for the UK was as follows:

• The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann
• 6 Underground
• Murder Mystery
• The Witcher
• The Irishman
• After Life
• Stranger Things 3
• Our Planet
• Sex Education
