What turned out to be most binge-worthy in your state might surprise you
The rise of “Netflix and chill” in living rooms across America is testament not only to the comfort of our couches, but also to the power of some very popular original content. While Netflix and providers like Amazon Prime don’t release ratings information, the increasing popularity of original series like Stranger Things and Luke Cage is irrefutable (See that time Netflix broke the internet for proof.) Here at HSI, we wondered if the data on streaming content by state in 2016 might tell a compelling story about how Netflix favorites reflect regional differences.
Americans all across the South and Midwest were obsessed with the ABC political thriller, Scandal. Shocking, right? Apparently, even though it’s an election year, we just can’t get enough of this intrigue, conspiracy stuff. Coming in a close second was Orange is the New Black, Netflix’s most watched original series, known for its orange jump-suited cast and irreverent sense of humor. Bloodline, another Netflix original, scored a few super fan states with its steamy locale and tantalizing tale of mystery and murder.
