Netflix was able to define what binge-watching a television series was all about by teaching us that we could get through six seasons in less time than watching two seasons of anything else. Most television series start off slowly in their first season, but after three seasons, you can’t stop watching.
There are popular TV shows that scored high ratings in a wide variety of genres, from sci fi to fantasy to real-life drama. Game of Thrones proved that you can have a TV show with hundreds of characters over several seasons and still be able to hold a high rating episode after episode. Orange Is the New Black took viewers inside a woman’s prison and introduced them to a wide range of compelling characters. The possibilities for popular TV are endless.
Knowing what you know about these television shows, can you figure them out with just five clues each?
Popular TV Shows
Popular TV shows like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Orange Is the New Black, The Walking Dead, Stranger Things, and Twin Peaks are among the most-watched on television today. They are popular because they have amazing characters, incredible storylines, and are more than just half-hour sitcoms. These are series that have changed how we watch television because we can binge-watch them on streaming services like Netflix.
Black Mirror, Game of Thrones, and Stranger Things took different approaches to storytelling and are joined by The Walking Dead as three of the best TV shows ever. They each defined their genre, and by season 2, you knew you had a binge-watching hit on your hands.
