The news comes fromTorrentFreak, which notes that the rankings are based on traffic from BitTorrent.
Plus, this list does not include most anime shows, which likely skews the rankings somewhat.

Nevertheless, heres the list.
A few things here.
First of all, pay for your shows.
We also find several things about this list fascinating.
For example, that its so genre-specific not just this year, but most years.
It clearly speaks to a certain kind of fan who pirates TV shows.
Someone who loves sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes, video games, etc.
Its also interesting to think about where the shows come from.
Maybe it was just that last year didnt have a show internet pirates cared about.
The list also, in a way, speaks to which services people are not paying for.
Prime Video wildly leads the pack with three shows.
Its a lot to digest.
Does anything about the list surprise you?
What do you think will top it this year?
Let us know below.
