The streaming giant revealed its top 10 TV shows of 2019 on Monday, with 'The Witcher' second only to 'Stranger Things' in the US. Parrot Analytics' data backs up Netflix's assertion that 'The Witcher' is one of its most popular shows of the year. 'Its success is also crucial for Netflix heading into the 2020s as the streamer fights off new SVOD players and declining global digital original demand share.' ''The Witcher's' immediate worldwide success highlights the impact that a binge-released series can have on driving audience demand,' a Parrot Analytics representative said. It's an impressive start for 'The Witcher' considering the popularity of 'The Mandalorian,' which last month dethroned Netflix's 'Stranger Things' as the most in-demand streaming series in the US, breaking its 21-week streak at the top of Parrot Analytics' charts. 'The Witcher' was also the top show in the US, with nearly 127 million demand expressions compared with 'The Mandalorian's' 115 million demand expressions in the US that week. The show, which arrived on Netflix on December 20, passed Disney Plus' 'Star Wars' series, 'The Mandalorian,' as the top show in the world the week of December 22 to 28. The company's ranking is based on 'demand expressions,' its globally standardized TV measurement unit to reflect the desire, engagement, and viewership of a series, weighted by importance. 'The Witcher,' based on the fantasy novel series by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, is the most in-demand TV series in the world across all platforms, according to the data company Parrot Analytics. Netflix has found its next global hit, and it's giving even 'Star Wars' a run for its money.
