In this list, a total of 4 HBO dramas are on the list, which can be said to be the biggest winner, please see the following list for details.
The data in this article comes from the Flixpatrol website, which has the following scoring rules for each film and television series: each film and television drama ranks 1st in the number of broadcasts in a country on the same day, plus 10 points, the 2nd plus 9 points, the 3rd plus 8 points... The 10th adds 1 point, and the film and television dramas other than the 10th place do not add points. The website uses this as a scoring rule to add points to each film and television drama, giving the film and television drama a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual ranking, etc. For example, if movie A is broadcast in 7 countries on a certain day, four of which rank 6th, one country ranks 9th, and one country ranks 11th, then movie A scores 5x4 + 2x1 + 0 = 22 for that day.
10th Place: "Chicago Fire"
Score: 2135
Genre: Drama
Release date: 2012-10-10
Number of broadcast regions: 6
Why it made the list: The show is one of the famous Chicago trilogies (the other two being Chicago First Aid and Chicago Police Department) that tells the story of the Chicago Fire Station 51 Emergency Rescue Team. The content of the drama is actually relatively single, almost all kinds of firefighting, but the plot is still passable, several seasons of Douban score are above 8 points, not bad, but you can take the show as a documentary, to understand the fire handling situation in the United States, after all, people's equipment is still relatively advanced, the show has been filmed to the ninth season.
Ninth Place: Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Score: 2138
Genre: Comedy
Release date: 2013-9-17
Reason for the list: This drama is really funny, although it is a crime-themed TV series, but the degree of humor is not low at all, and the rush is a bit like the TV drama version of the classic movie "Police Academy". I don't know if you remember, there was a video clip circulating before, that is, using singing to solve the case, the song is the backstreet boy's "I want it that way", this clip comes from this play, almost laughed and peed. And several protagonists in the play also have their own characteristics, such as facial paralysis, abdominal blackness, glass heart muscle man, nervousness and various neuropathies, and they absolutely laugh after watching it.
8th Place: "Queen of the South"
Score: 2613
Type: Crime
Release date: 2016-6-23
Number of broadcast areas: 4
Why it made the list: The show focuses on the story of a Mexican female criminal living in the United States. Starring Alice Braga and directed by Dave Rodriguez, T. Braga and Leonardo da Vinci. J. Scott and Charlotte Schilling co-directed. The show is currently in its fifth season.
Seventh place: "Chernobyl"
Score: 2745
Release date: 2019-5-6
Reasons for the list: The drama has only 5 episodes, but the quality is very high, its Douban score reached 9.6, and has won a number of awards, such as the Golden Globe Award for Best Limited Drama/TV Movie, The Best Supporting Actor in television, and the Emmy Award for Best Limited Drama/Miniseries. Produced by HBO, the show currently has only one season and users can VOD on demand via iTunes.
6th Place: "The Undoing"
Score: 3040
Genre: Suspense, Thriller
Release date: 2020-10-25
Reasons for the list: "Nothing" tells the daily life of a middle-aged couple full of lies and betrayals, the two main stars of the show are Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant, the addition of these two big stars has made the show's popularity soar, and the director is Danish director Susanne Bier. The plot of the show is a bit like "Big Little Lies", "Big Little Lies" is also starring Nicole Kidman, but personally feel that the plot is better than "Big Little Lies", but the show only has 6 episodes, and Grant looks really old as the male lead, and Nicole Kidman obviously looks much younger.
Fifth place: "Rick and Morty"
Score: 3217
Type: Animation
Release date: 2013-12-2
Why: "Rick and Morty" is an animated series, but this popularity is not lost to any TV series, the show is mainly about a mad scientist Rick Sanchez, and his timid grandson Morty Smith travel through time and space. "Rick and Morty" can be said to be a brain hole, this two men drive the time machine around, the history and the current hot events have been ridiculed again, every three to five ironies and gags, let the audience laugh non-stop, the show has been filmed to the fifth season, the ratings of these five seasons are very high, the sixth season has also been renewed, it is estimated that it should be broadcast in 2022.
4th Place: "Mare of Easttown"
Score: 4117
Release date: 2021-4-18
Why: "Nightmare in the East Side" is definitely a dark horse of the year, starring Oscar actress Kate Winslet, telling the story of a police detective she plays who takes over a tricky case that is so intricate that it turns into a nightmare for the whole town. As a crime thriller, the drama is really not too new from the perspective of the theme, after all, this genre has a big grasp in the American drama, but why the drama can still stand out, it is nothing more than the basic skills in place - the film is very realistic, and the actor's performance is relaxed. The background of the film is set in a small town, when you look through this town, you seem to see the whole society, every family in this town has its own dark history, which is like a microcosm of the whole society, and the heroine Winslet once again exerts her own strength as a film queen, interpreting the heart of a police detective so complex and real. The director of the show is Craig Zobel, who has previously directed "Watchmen" and "Westworld", and the quality of "East Side Nightmare" is still outstanding, with a Douban score of 8.9, and those who like it can watch it.
3rd Place: Succession
Score: 4434
Release date: 2018-6-3
Reason for the list: The drama is produced by HBO, and it must be a high-quality product. "The Battle of Succession" is another classic series produced by HBO, which mainly revolves around a fictional international media company whose boss intends to abdicate the throne because of his advanced age, and his four children are ready to inherit their father's business power, and thus start a struggle for power and profit. The show is a commercial series directed by Adam McKay, director and co-writer of the film The Big Short, who does have a hand in commercially themed productions, winning numerous awards in the beginning of The Big Short, and the company owner is Brian Cox, who played General William Stryker in X-Men 2. "Battle of Succession" has now aired 3 seasons, the ratings are very strong, and the fourth season will also be broadcast in 2022.
2nd Prize: "Yellowstone"
Score: 6449
Release date: 2018-6-20
Number of broadcast areas: 5
Reason for the list: "Yellowstone" This plot is not good, it has been broadcast for 4 seasons, and the rating of each season is more than 9 points, especially the fourth season broadcast in November 2021, the Douban score is as high as 9.5, and it has been well received after broadcasting. "Yellowstone" and "The Battle of Succession" are similar, both family dramas, but the show is about the story of the largest farm family in the United States, the director of the show is Stephen Kay, who also directed another hit series, "The Mayor of Kingston", and the actor of "Yellowstone" is The veteran Hollywood movie star Kevin Costner. Compared with "The Battle of Succession", "Yellowstone" does not have so many commercial styles of suits and shoes, but it has a lot of blood and violence, which is also an important reason why the show has a large number of fans, because the show can better reflect the cruelty of society. Yellowstone has now been renewed for a fifth season, with filming starting around March 2022.
1st Prize: Grey's Anatomy
Score: 6753
Release date: 2005-3-27
Reason for the list: I can't imagine it, the first place is not a sci-fi/magic drama with sharp special effects, but "Grey's Anatomy", which we all love. "Grey's Anatomy" can win the championship, in addition to the excellent plot, the long span of the show is also a big reason, the show has been filmed for a total of 18 seasons, from the first season in 2005, to now it has gone through a full 16 years, so many years attracted a large number of fans, so high popularity is also normal. As its name suggests, the drama is a medical theme drama, this theme has been very popular in Europe and the United States, like "Dr. House", "Chicago Hospital", "Good Doctor" and even "Bloodthirsty Forensic Doctor" are very popular, after all, to diagnose patients with difficult diseases, and then talk to colleagues around a love, is not beautiful.
