In an age of streaming, audiences often binge their latest obsessions while waiting for the next one.
Every week, Parrot Analytics provides Business Insider with a list of the five most "in-demand" TV shows on streaming services. (The data is based on Demand Expressions, the globally standardized TV demand measurement unit from Parrot Analytics. Audience demand reflects the desire, engagement, and viewership weighted by importance, so a stream or download is a higher expression of demand than a "like" or comment on social media.)
This week's most in-demand shows include Netflix's "Daredevil," which just dropped a new season; the new hit horror series "The Haunting of Hill House"; and "Stranger Things," which is skipping 2018, leaving fans craving for its third season that will come to Netflix next year.
