Wow as an aussie i am impressed, but not suprised. Bluey is a high quality show which appeals to children and adults but also maintains good substance without dipping into plain 'entertainment'.

Also enjoy getting some aussie culture, god knows we have had enough american culture exported to us over the years.

Looks like a better breakdown of this data is available over at https://www.nielsen.com/data-center/top-streaming-shows-artey-awards/

With the exception of Stranger Things the top streamers all have one thing in common, at the end of every episode everything is largely reset. Sure shows like Grey's Anatomy or Law and Order have overall stories, but anything super important is covered by the recap at the start of the episode. If you miss or forgot an episode, no big deal.

Which is also why I think so many of these shows are so popular. It's no secret people watch shows and use their phones, tablets, etc. and all of these shows lend themselves to it.

Also with the exception of Bluey we're looking at 20+ episode seasons. And I struggle to think of a 20+ episode streaming (only) show. I think the closest is The Pitt at 15 episode seasons.

They’re called episodic shows. The opposite are serials.

That's actually really sad. I love bluey but my kid maybe gets an hour on normal days. Those kids are just zoning out for hours.

That's wild. Even as a kid in the early 2000s I'd watch TV for longer than an hour.

Is it less than 9 years worth?
