We started with 32 shows on Netflix and set up polls for fans to vote to determine which show has the most dedicated and passionate group of fans. And now we have the winner for this year.

Netflix Madness began with 16 Netflix Originals and 16 fan-favorite shows on Netflix to fill out our bracket with fan voting determining which show had the best fans. The tournament began three weeks ago and now after receiving a record-high for votes through our two years doing this challenge, we’re ready to crown this year’s champion.

It was down to The Office and Sense8 with a 48-hour window to vote. Sense8 had a big lead on Twitter while The Office had such a big lead, we had to field many complaints wondering if the poll was rigged because the lead was so wide.

With less than 10 hours to go, we began to see The Office’s lead on Facebook slowly shrink as a ton of new Facebook accounts from across the globe began to vote with great earnest. It was pretty astonishing how the fans rallied to create that many new Facebook accounts to make up the difference which really shows how much this meant to them.

Now that the polls are closed, let’s look to the results.

Sense8 took the Twitter poll with 77 percent of 10,581 votes. That equaled 8,147 votes. The Office had 23 percent of the Twitter vote which was 2,434.

On Facebook, The Office saw their 60 percent lead from Tuesday night shrink to 56 percent. With a total of 43,429 votes on Facebook, The Office received a total of 24,320 votes on Facebook. Meanwhile, Sense8 rallied to get to 44 percent or 19,109 votes on Facebook.

So The Office is the Facebook winner while Sense8 is the Twitter winner. Adding up the combined vote totals and The Office had 26,754 compared to 27,256 for Sense8, who wins by a narrow margin of 502 votes.

That means Sense8 had 50.46 percent of the total vote compared to 49.54 percent for The Office. It doesn’t get much closer than that!

Congratulations to Sense8 fans who really rallied behind this interactive fan event. Our comments on Twitter and Facebook were littered with fans across six different continents expressing their love for the show and what it meant to them and why others should be voting for this show.

They were able to rally the masses and get people to create Twitter and Facebook accounts so they could vote in both of the polls and overcome a 4,000 deficit in the final hours!

They rallied fans of other shows to vote for them with the hopes of gaining more exposure for their show that clearly means so much to them. As many fans of Sense8 expressed in recent weeks in this tournament, Sense8 wasn’t just a show, it was a life-changing experience.

And congratulations to the fans of the other shows we included in this event. We are already looking forward to expanding this event next year. We had 32 shows for the first two versions of this but next year, we’ll be expanding to 64 shows with the hopes of interacting with more great groups of fans, spread awareness for double the shows we did this year and give them an opportunity to express their love for these shows and what they mean to them.
