To be fair, who wasn’t watching You last year? But if you haven’t heard of it, we follow Joe Goldberg, dangerously charming, intensely obsessive young man who goes to extreme measures to insert himself into the lives of those he is transfixed by. And we mean extremes!

5. Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
We didn’t get season three of Bridgerton last year. But we are getting it in 2024, how exciting! Instead, we got the spin-off that centered on Queen Charlotte’s rise to prominence and power, this Bridgerton-verse prequel tells the story of how the young Queen’s marriage to King George sparked both a great love story and a societal shift, creating the world of the Ton inherited by the characters in Bridgerton.

4. Wednesday: Season 1
Everyone and their mother was talking about Wednesday! The show follows Wednesday Addams as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships at her school.
The Jenna Ortega show was watched for 507,700,000 hours. We’re honestly surprised it did not crack the top three!

The Glory focuses on a woman who lives for absolute revenge against the childhood bullies who destroyed her life. And it’s safe to say it was fairly popular!

The Night Agent absolutely ran away with it as the most-watched show in 2023! The show follows a vigilant FBI agent who is monitoring an emergency line but when he answers a call that plunges him into a deadly conspiracy involving a mole at the White House.
It was watched for, wait for it, 812,100,000. Unsurprisingly, a second season is en route.
