'Divorce' Is Most Streamed HBO Series
A new study reveals that "Divorce" is the most watched series on HBO. CableTV.com and West Frontier recently teamed up to break down the number of viewers who subscribe to HBO's streaming services and results surprisingly suggest that the freshman comedy has more viewers than other popular HBO series.
Since watching TV series and movies through streaming sites became a modern trend, HBO has embraced streaming by launching its very own streaming sites, HBO GO and HBO NOW. With these sites, viewers can watch all the series in HBO's library of original programming any time in the comfort of their homes. Since launching, HBO's streaming services have been a great choice for viewers who wish to watch the latest episodes of HBO's current shows or binge-watch episodes of their favorite series.
Today, millions of subscribers across the United States stream HBO's shows regularly so it is interesting to know which of these shows gets the most views.
In the study, the shows most streamed in every state last year were analyzed. By the end of the study, it was found out that "Divorce" was most streamed in 2016, beating other popular HBO shows like "Westworld," "Oz" and "Game of Thrones."
The study only focused on the most watched on HBO's streaming sites and did not include shows that could be watched live on the HBO channel. It turned out that "Divorce" was the most favored show in 12 out of 50 states, while "Westworld" was the most favored in only three states, namely Washington, Massachusetts and Colorado.
Other shows that turned out to be among the most favored were "Silicon Valley," "The Wire," "Deadwood" and "Treme." "Game of Thrones," the most popular HBO series, is barely on the map of the most streamed on HBO's streaming sites but it has broken ratings records for HBO.
