Allegedly, according to this Infographic. I mean it only compares Netflix, Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime Video content* (sorry, Now TV, Acorn TV, iPlayer, SundanceNow, The Roku Channel et al), so it isn’t exactly comprehensive.

It’s also based on both IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. You might as well look at entrails floating in a cesspit to find out the truth.

* “English-speaking original programmes from the past two years were looked at only, and did not include co-produced series, such as The Last Dance. 204 Netflix shows, 39 Amazon Prime shows and 20 Apple TV+ shows were analysed for the study.”

    I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
