JustWatch: But British this time - What did we want to watch?

Earlier this week, I had stats for movies and TV shows popular on streaming platforms in the States last year.

Now, I have got the same analysis from JustWatch but for British searches. The inference is that shows people are looking for are shows that people are watching.

We see that UK and US movie tastes are similar, with the top 10s almost overlapping. Brits liked Black Adam a bit more or searched for where they could see it, and I think the only answer in 2022 was “at the cinema”. Other than that, Tom Holland’s Uncharted knocked Nope out.

TV shows are very different. Everyone knew that the House of the Dragon was exclusive to Sky Atlantic.

Top Gun: Maverick

Powered by JustWatch Top Gun: Maverick is the next part in the life story of Maverick, a highly-skilled fighter pilot who is enlisted to train a new generation of recruits. With time running out, Maverick must lead his team in a mission to protect the world against an unknown foe.
