The most streamed was “Bluey” which is an Australian animated show on Disney+. “Bluey” had 55.6 million minutes watched. Other popular shows included “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Family Guy.’ Netflix’s series “Bridgeton” was also among the top streamed shows along with “Love is Blind.” The Prime Video series “Fallout” was another one of the most viewed shows with 11.95 billion minutes. As far as movies “Moana” remains the most streamed show for the second year in a row with 13.03 billion minutes.
The second most streamed movie was “The Super Mario Bros. Movie.” We asked several students what shows they were currently binginig.
” I’m binging “Ghost,” I really like it. It’s based off a British comedy that’s called “Ghosts” and they made the American version, which is way better. I just like the goofy set of characters. They’re all dumb and it is hilarious!”
“The two shows I’ve been binge watching right now have been “Criminal Minds” and “Bones.” The reason that I have been binge watching those is because I like crime procedurals, and sometimes I like to watch the actual solving and sometimes I like to find the actual behind-the-scenes scientific portion of it.”
“My favorite series, or the one I like to watch a lot is “Supernatural.” Mostly because I connect with a lot of characters, I like the plot of the show and it’s something me and my mom bonded over.”
“The show I have been binge watching lately is “Last Man on Earth.” I think it’s absolutely hilarious and it’s just really funny to watch the people and their drama.”

“My binge show right now is “Criminal Minds.” I don’t really know the reason why, but I have a class right now actually, it’s Intro to Criminal Justice so it kind of makes a little more sense now watching it and also learning about what it’s about. But overall, in general it is a good show. I really think that show really helps me with I guess reality. Of what to do, what not to do but I mean it’s a good show.”
“The show I’m watching right now is called “The Equalizer.” I’m watching it because it’s really fun and entertaining. The character is kind of playing a double life and I think that’s pretty cool.”
“I’d say the show I’m binge watching right now is “X.O. Kitty.” Which that show has a lot of mystery and like romance in it, yes but I think what makes it binge worthy is the mystery behind what the main character is searching for.”
“My show that I’m binge watching is “Friends.” It’s a really funny show and it just never gets boring.”
