The UK’s most loved Netflix shows revealed
A global crafting community analysed Google Trends data since March 2020 to discover the most popular Netflix shows in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland during lockdown.
The company that carried out the research, LoveCrafts.com, found that docuseries Tiger King was the most popular Netflix show in the UK, followed by crime drama Ozark and Spanish thriller Money Heist.
Lovecrafts.com undertook the research after developing a craft calculator which enables people to work out how much knitting and crocheting they could get done while watching their favourite shows.
The ten most popular Netflix Shows in the UK and what a beginner can make while binge watching them:
1. Tiger King: 5 hours = a knitted pair of booties for a baby
2. Ozark: 30 hours = a knitted shawl
3. Money Heist: 31 hours = two crocheted jumpers
4. White Lines: 10 hours = a knitted hat
5. Stranger Things: 22 hours = a crocheted toy
6. After Life: 6 hours = a crocheted pair of booties for a baby
7. Riverdale: 63 hours = two crocheted blankets
8. 13 Reasons Why: 46 hours = a crocheted bag
9. Dead to Me: 9 hours = a knitted candle holder
10. The Last Kingdom: 36 hours = two pairs of knitted mittens
