The most in-demand show available to stream on Netflix in August was “Stranger Things,” according to Parrot Analytics‘ data, which takes into account consumer research, streaming, downloads and social media, among other engagement.
“Stranger Things” had a whopping 121.5 times the average series demand in August, a month after it released the last batch of episodes in its fourth season. While the degree to which “Stranger Things” has become a cultural touchstone is impressive, it looks like Netflix has been resting on its “Stranger Things” laurels lately. None of the other shows in the top 10 were a Netflix original.
In a normal month, the exceptional demand for AMC series “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” would have put them in the running for the top spot.
