Top 7 Shows To Watch On Netflix And Other Streaming Services 2019
Fans can’t wait for the return of Hulu’s award-winning drama “The Handmaid’s Tale” after we saw the teaser for the third season aired during the Super Bowl last Sunday. Parrot Analytics provides a list of seven most popular shows steaming on the services like Netflix and Amazon in 2019.
The data is based on “demand expressions”, the globally standardised TV demand measurement unit. The demand by the audience reflects the engagement, their desire and viewership. That’s why a stream or download is a higher expression of demand than a “like” on social media.

Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 1): 82%
Review: The series dropped a lot of f-bombs, violence and a willingness to dispose of supporting characters as if they are yesterday’s newspaper. As uneven as it is, there’s enough here to make you want to see how crazy it all gets.
