Every week, Parrot Analytics provides Business Insider with a list of the nine most in-demand TV shows on streaming services. The data is based on "demand expressions," Parrot Analytics’ globally standardized TV demand measurement unit. 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, for instance.
"Stranger Things" has over 260,000,000 more expressions than the number two show on the list this week. DC Universe’s "Young Justice: Outsiders" returned to the list after the debut of the second half of its third season this month.
