According to Fortune, more than half of Americans are currently using Netfliox to get thier movie and TV fix. In recent years Netflix has begun to shift is position from one of streaming to content creation. Netflix Originals, series developed and produced exclusively for streaming have no become the face of the company.
With that said, the team at CableTV not only wanted to know which show was the most watched, but which show was the most popular by each state. The big winner? Marvel rules the Universe, inspiring blind devotion in fourteen states with Daredevil and strong-arming seven more into watching Jessica Jones.
But there was also a lot of love for the non-Marvel Netflix originals like Bloodline and Orange is the New Black, but they didn’t come close to touching Marvel’s superhero fare. Each state’s favorite show was identified by compiling a list of all the original Netflix content, and then analyzing state data from Google Trends in 2016.
The team at CableTV excluded movies, children’s shows, continuations (series aired previously on another network), and limited, one-time specials so they could isolate popular original content from each state. For instance, shows like Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life made the list because Netflix is rebooting the series and creating original content from what was previously a finished network show.
