It is Netflix that leads the game in the world of streaming in the United States. The SVOD giant managed to place its series 7 in the top 10 most watched titles of 2023. But the first place eludes them a little. According to Nielsen – American Médiamétrie site – 2023 was marked by the coronation of Apple TV+ production Ted Lasso. It’s ironic when we know that the same platform has fewer subscribers than others (Prime Video, Disney+…).
But Ted Lasso fully deserves this top spot, which he took with The Night Agent (Netflix), which came out last March. Carried by Jason Sudeikis, this series feeling good Follows a football coach who has no experience as a player, but is hired by an English football club to lead his team to victory… Rated 4.4/5 on AlloCiné, he also won the hearts of the French. Internet users beat faster.
He said goodbye last June after three seasons of very good performances. Regularly honored at prestigious ceremonies such as the Emmys and the Golden Globes, she made her mark on the small screen in just a few years and 35 short episodes.
Note that the rest of the Nielsen ratings also include Jack Ryan on Prime Video and The Mandalorian on the Disney side. Proof that the platforms are still one step behind the main competitor.
Another surprise in 2023
2023 also marked the rise of the legal series Suits (ahead of NCIS and Grey’s Anatomy), which ended in 2019. This is the most popular title in the catalog (available on Netflix). It has been streaming for the past twelve months. This success has also led certain platforms, including Number 1, to focus a little more on the genre. The coming years could be marked by a strong return of the legal series.
Ted Lasso is available on Apple TV+.
