I realize this is just one data point, but the most-streamed show in 2020 was The Office, close to a decade after its last episode was released.

- pixl97 5y agoCould we be conflating causality here? Could it be that older shows that existed before networks were fractured up by separate streaming services are going to be the most watched now because they were also the most watched then. The last shared societal interactions. Maybe these shows were not particularly good, but there was a lack of options individualized so strongly.
