The weather outside is frightful, and the fire is so delightful, when there’s simply no place to go, binge some shows, binge some shows, binge some shows!

I’d love to say this will be the last time this year that I try to shoehorn our content into a Christmas song…

Anyway, as data nerds, we were pleased to see stats flying around last week on Netflix’s most binged shows of 2017. They defined the most binged shows (or “shows we devoured” as popular for watching more than two hours per day, and top of the list is the hilarious American Vandal.

This got us thinking – does the social data match the Netflix stats? Are people talking about binge watching these shows, are they quietly watching while Netflix logs their guilty pleasures? Perhaps we’re more willing to post about shows we perceive to be popular than the shows we’re actually obsessed with…

To the data!

The list of the most binged shows on Netflix

Here’s the list released by Netflix:

American Vandal 3% 13 Reasons Why Anne with an E Riverdale Ingobernable Travelers The Keepers The OA The Confession Tapes

Would the most binged show also be the show on the list that’s talked about most?

A year of hype around Netflix’s most binged shows

Perhaps surprisingly, no – American Vandal conversation hasn’t got much at all on the mentions of the likes of 13 Reasons Why and Riverdale.

13 Reasons Why absolutely dominates the list – we found more than 12 million tweets about the show this year. It makes up for nearly 60% of the tweets about the above mentioned shows.
