Streaming services like Netflix have changed the way we consume programming, turning many of us into binge watchers. However, Netflix recently unveiled some information on people it calls "binge racers," which are individuals who binge an entire season of a show within 24 hours of its release.
Netflix revealed a ranking of the 20 most-binge-raced original programs it provides, but they may not be the shows you expected them to be.
The top show in the rankings is Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Considering how many devoted fans Gilmore Girls has, and how long those fans had to wait for new episodes, this makes sense. In second place is Fuller House, which also ticks the nostalgia boxes. Third is Marvel's The Defenders, followed by the surprising The Seven Deadly Sins and The Ranch to round out the top five.
Interestingly, The Defenders is the only Marvel show in the top 20. Despite the popularity of the Marvel brand across the pop culture landscape, there is no Daredevil or Jessica Jones in the binge racing rankings. Even the cultishly-adored Stranger Things barely cracked the top 10. However, it is important to point out these rankings are only based on which shows had the most binge racers globally. They are not in any way a reflection of the overall viewership of a show. Maybe Luke Cage fans just like to take their time.
Overall, 8.4 million Netflix members have engaged in binge racing. In addition to the show rankings, Netflix also provided a top 20 of the countries that do the most binge racing. The top five, in order, are Canada, the United States, Denmark, Finland, and Norway.
