Almost a quarter of a century after the first episode aired in September 1994, Friends has been ranked the most-streamed television show in the UK. This is according to Ofcom’s Media Nations report, based on a survey of 2,500 viewers, which ranks the most-streamed television shows on subscription services, like Netflix and Amazon.
No other series even came close. Since all 236 episodes were added to Netflix UK back in January, twice as many episodes of Friends were streamed in the first three months of 2018 than its closest contender The Grand Tour (Netflix’s evolution of Top Gear).
