The analytics company Diesel Labs provided Insider with a list of the new TV shows this year that had limited pre-launch online engagement, but had the biggest increase after they premiered.
Diesel Labs pulls audience-engagement data from social and video platforms Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram to gauge the level of interest in a piece of content.
Diesel Labs ranked the shows by their ratio of engagement before and after they debuted.
For instance, Netflix's "Squid Game" had 820 post-premiere engagements for every 1 pre-premiere engagement.
