... the top 10 shows that ‘Brought us together.’ And it was that last list of shows that families watched together that included Star Trek: Discovery, which came in at number 4 behind Stranger Things, 13 Reasons Why, and A Series of Unfortunate Events. The full infographic from Netflix is below.

STD is #4... for what it's worth...

What!?! Families watch DSC? With all of those mean, nasty words and scary blood and evil Klingon ta-tas? How can this be?

I am just going to point out that Netflix doesn't have a way to get the data on how many people watch a show downloaded from them on the same TV, so this list is probably bullshit.

There was a survey on a group of subscribers done. Not just surveying streaming activity.

Which poor bastard watched 'Pirates of the Caribbean' 365 days in a row? How bad does life have to get to drive one to such depths?

Also among the most popular and talked about digital shows in Australia - http://www.news.com.au/entertainmen...k/news-story/a3d70abe6c1d1668426e678469dc6c30

It's Curse of the Black Pearl. I'd watch it that much. Good movie.

Internet survey's are meaningless and give no real data.

Most surveys are like that

It wasn't an internet survey...It was Netflix itself querying a group of it's subscribers. That's how they arrived at the data they're reporting. Direct contact with their customers, gathering information, info that is not meaningless to them.

Fascinating.

How are they "meaningless" and how is it that the data derived from them is "unreal?"

Being single-vectored and incomplete I can see, but so is just about every slice of data in any dimension. That doesn't make it useless and unreal, though. So, I'm curious to hear more.

Stop the madness...facts and logic are only going to melt people's brains right out of their heads.

As long as the conclusion is "Discovery is a failure" then we will respect the numbers.

Doesn't matter if it's a message board or a board room...people all over will refute numbers or data that tell a different story than they want to hear, and will legitimize whatever numbers happen to support their position.

Simple human behavior "Noooo! It can't be true because....ummm....I don't want it to be!"

I think the definition of ‘family viewing’ is vague. I watched the Terminator, Conan, Blade Runner, and various Treks and Twin Peaks with my dad. Since I was over 18 that’s fine, but still constitutes ‘family viewing’.
It’s the only logical explanation (that or...differing concepts of what kids should watch...) since at least half that list is not suitable for the younger members of a family, assuming they are pre-teen. (Stranger Things, Riverdale,DSC, Anne with an E...I also doubt some of the others would hold the attention of or interest a younger audience.)

Tell that to JD Power, Ipsos, or any number of other market research firms that rely on them as a major source, or any of the businesses around the globe that pay obscene amounts of money for "not real" data.

Which makes it even worse then an internet survey.

I have, there's a reason all the news companies tend to ignore them.

I always assume these kinds of things are some business who have a playlist of movies on netflix that just play in their store

Oh, it's a good movie. But every day of the year I think my mind would burn. There is only so many times I can watch Johnny Depp drunk and I reached that limit during movie 3.
