The streaming wars in 2019 took on a new level of intensity with additional services from Disney and Apple joining the fray. Consumers were already busy navigating Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Hulu for what to watch and the choices were already limitless.
The addition of Disney+ and Apple TV+ to the mix left many entertainment seekers overwhelmed with an overabundance of choices. Had we hit the point of over-saturation? Analysts concluded that supply had well exceeded consumer demand.
This left word-of-mouth and social media in powerful positions as many turned to others to help them decide which shows were worth their time. So, what was everyone busy bingeing?
According to TV Time, the below 20 shows were the most-watched worldwide this year. Of the series listed, all but one are on Netflix: Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale.
Of note, Netflix’s Money Heist (aka La Casa de Papel) did exceptionally well for the streamer. The third season of the Spanish show was the most-watched Netflix series across non-English-language territories with 44 million households watching the show in its first four weeks. Fans cannot wait for season four, which is premiering in 2020.
