Deadline (here) have an article for the most watched British streamed shows in 2025. For just the streaming services they reported:

1. Adolescence / Netflix – 13.2m
2. Clarkson’s Farm / Amazon Prime – 7.5m
3. Harlan Coben’s Missing You / Netflix – 7.1m
4. Wednesday / Netflix – 6.8m
5. LOL: Last One Laughing UK S1 / Amazon Prime – 6.2m
6. Hostage / Netflix – 5.9m
7. Dept. Q / Netflix – 5.8m
8. Monster: The Ed Gein Story / Netflix – 5.3m
9. Untamed / Netflix – 4.6m
10. Stranger Things / Netflix – 4.5m

The problem with streaming figures is always that Netflix / Amazon (and others) are a bit vague about dates and exact numbers.

I wrote on June 7^th 2025 (here) that varying reports had LOL at somewhere between 6.1m and 8m – and those numbers started being bandied about quite early on. So, I have 2 problems with the above:

• The Deadline listing says E1 – so is the 6.2m JUST for episode 1 or the full 6 episodes?
• If it was at LEAST 6.1m back in June I’m pretty sure it would be higher by the end of the year?

Regardless – good to see that Amazon got 2 shows in the top 10 and both were fronted by a JC!

The British press, depending on what they are outraged about this week, would have you believe that they are politically incorrect (which is why I love them both), not funny, shouldn’t be on TV – yada yada. Blah Blah.

Viewing figures don’t lie…
