We’ve always enjoyed binge-watching our favorite TV shows, but in 2020 there was more time than ever to do so.
As many settled into working from home, catching up on new Netflix shows and re-watching favorites have become a pastime that people have indulged in more often than ever.
HighSpeedInternet.com reported that the streaming giant planned to add over 100 new shows to the platform this year. With originals still being added to the slate through the end of the year, viewers have had plenty of options to choose from.
The computers and internet website determined the Netflix shows each state watched the most and the program America tuned into most often.
From an initial list of Netflix shows on Digital Trends, the site evaluated the most popular shows using Google Trends data. Then, it determined the programs people were the most interested in across the nation this year. Popularity in the arts and entertainment category was assessed to improve the results.
Nationwide, “The Umbrella Academy” was the top show.
The superhero series based on the comic book series of the same name by Gerard Way debuted in 2019. It follows estranged, superhuman siblings who are reunited after their father’s death as they uncover alarming family secrets.
A clear hit, the show was renewed for a third season in November and HighSpeedInternet.com said, “fans watched over 3 billion minutes of the superhero series during the first week of the season 2 release. So, if you still haven’t seen The Umbrella Academy, hop on the bandwagon.”
Superheroes may be the name of the game across the country but in the Peach State, there’s love for an irreverent comedy that recently swept the Emmys.
Adult sitcom “Schitt’s Creek” is the story of the Rose family, who once was incredibly wealthy and have been reduced to living in a dilapidated motel they’d purchased as a joke. The show originally aired on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. and American audiences have been able to enjoy it thanks to Netflix.
The program was one of four non-Netflix originals to make it onto the list. Others were “Breaking Bad,” which aired on AMC, NBC’s “Community” and Fox’s “New Girl.”
