Record Breaking TV Series in the World- Most Watched

Taste cannot be considered, especially when discussing TV series. However, some TV series simply enjoy universal success. TV series are trending now. People who watched movies in previous decades have transitioned themselves to watching TV series.

There are many reasons why TV series are gaining popularity. For one, they are a great way to escape reality and indulge in a world of your own creation. TV series offer a high degree of flexibility and control when it comes to narrative, which allows viewers to become emotionally attached to the characters and their stories.

Moreover, TV series are often produced with a great level of detail and complexity, which allows viewers to learn new information and explore different facets of the world around them. Finally, TV series often have a strong cast of talented actors and actresses, which helps to make the stories more engaging and enjoyable to watch.

In this article, we are going to shortlist the top 10 record-breaking TV series of all time you shouldn’t miss.

Nine noble houses compete for the rule of Westeros, as a long-dormant foe makes a resurgence. The television series, which is based on George R. R. Martin’s books, has broken numerous world records.

It has 8 seasons comprised of 73 episodes, that were aired from year 2011 – 2019 in no fewer than 186 countries out of total 195 countries in the world, so almost 95% of the world population watches this show. Game of Thrones set the record for being the most expensive television production ever and several honors, including 47 Emmy Awards.

I think its so popular because of three reasons: Realism, learning experience and Unpredictability

Ishan Arora

Game of Thrones is something that you may have never seen before. It provides such an immersive experience that everyone who views it becomes a devoted fan and remembers his or her viewing experience for the rest of his or her life. Story of Game of Thrones is highly unpredictable. You have to win or die, there is no way in between.

There are battles, dragons, witches, dwarfs, undead, and other ridiculous elements, yet Game of Thrones remains one of the most rational and realistic series in television history!

When I ask few of my friends, they say they started watching it for nudity and sex, probably that was a factor too coz, a lot of them were visibly disappointed in the decline in those scenes…

Gayathree Karthikk

Game of Thrones has established itself as a cult television program, even though the series finale fell short of fans’ expectations. If you want to watch it then you better watch it on HBO.

The following are few of the reasons that made the TV Series so popular;

• Political debates and discussions
• Rich narrative and daring storytelling
• Unexpected twists and turns
• Excellent performance and dialogue delivery
• Excellent music,
• Strong Personalities and Character Development

What made Stranger things so Popular?

Particularly uncommon are child performers and actresses with such great acting chops and versatility. There are many various scenes, and they all evoke various feelings. However, they all succeed in making these situations unforgettable.

Fighting against this big bad is something that everyone of every generation resonates with.

Sharp

Rating: 8.1

Stars: Andrew Lincoln, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride    

Votes: 989,102

3.1 Trailer – The Walking Dead

3.2 Storyline – The Walking Dead

According to TorrentFreak, The Walking Dead was the third most pirated television show in the world in 2013. Whatever else we may say, at the time, this data was a sign of popularity. The Walking Dead continues to be a source of inspiration for many zombie and horror lovers today.

It is a pretty good show that has nothing to do with zombies.

Patrick Vlaskovits

The Walking Dead takes place after a global zombie apocalypse has begun. The zombies, known as ‘walkers’, shamble towards live humans and other creatures in order to consume them; they are drawn to commotion, such as gunshots, and distinctive odours, such as humans.

I loved it at first. But it became way too repetitive. 

Theo Void

Although it appears at first that only people who are bitten or scratched by walkers may transform into other walkers, it is shown early in the series that all live humans possess the infection that causes the mutation. The mutation is active when the pathogen’s host dies, and the only method to permanently kill a walker is to harm its brain or completely destroy the corpse, such as by cremating it.

Yes, it is an excellent show regardless of your interest in zombies. It explores the human relationships stressed to the limit in dire situations which is ripe for good drama.

Ivan Kirigin

The series revolves around sheriff’s deputy Rick Grimes, who awakens from a coma. While in a coma, walkers have taken over the globe. He becomes the commander of a group of survivors from the Atlanta, Georgia, area as they seek to sustain and defend themselves not just from walkers but also from other groups of survivors determined to take all means necessary to survive.

VOTES: 292,897

4.1 Trailer – 13 Reasons Why

4.2 Storyline – 13 Reasons Why

The main character, Clay Jensen, tries to figure out what caused Hannah, his classmate and love, to take her own life.

’13 Reasons Why,’ based on Jay Asher’s best-selling novel, follows adolescent Clay Jensen as he returns home from school to find a mystery package with his name written on it lying on his porch. Inside, he finds cassette records recorded by Hannah Baker, his classmate and crush who sadly committed herself two weeks before.

The show doesn’t promote suicide but highlights how knowingly or unknowingly we end up causing pain to someone that hurts them quite bad. Suicides are real and ignoring them as a cowardly act does not help.

Akanksha Das

Hannah reveals on tape why she chose to terminate her life for thirteen reasons. Will Clay be among them? If he pays attention, he’ll learn how he compiled the list. 13 Reasons Why crafts a detailed and heartbreaking account of adolescent life via Hannah and Clay’s twin storylines that will strongly influence viewers.

I enjoyed the show. It was engaging, the characters were likeable. The suicide scene is graphic, but it didn’t entice me to pick up a blade and try and kill myself.

The 100 is about post-apocalyptic Ark survivors who have come back to Earth over a hundred after a horrific nuclear war. A group of young offenders is the first transferred to Earth, where they come into contact with victims of the nuclear holocaust.

The 100 is television at its best, and I say that as a guy who is not a fan of young adult (YA) fiction; this is an exception.

Harlan Williams

The 100 is an episode based television series that airs on the CW network. It is set in a post-apocalyptic world where the human race has been reduced to a few hundred people living on a small island. The series follows the journey of a group of teens who are chosen to be the first people to re-establish contact with the outside world.

One of the things that makes The 100 so compelling is the strong female characters. The protagonists are all strong women who are capable of taking care of themselves. They are also able to work together to accomplish common goals. This makes the show a lot of fun to watch.

It is worth watching, with wonderful blends of different characters, plots that draw you in, characters that are flawed yet compelling, and memorable scenes that will make it a classic for decades to come. 

Ryan Edwards

The 100 also has a great cast of supporting characters. They are all interesting and lovable, which makes it hard to pick a favorite. Overall, The 100 is a great show that is sure to keep you entertained.

7.2 Storyline – Riverdale

Archie and his friends become involved in sinister Riverdale mysteries as they navigate the rough waters of romance, school, and family.

The town of Riverdale is reeling from the recent, tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom — and nothing feels the same… Archie Andrews is still the all-American teen, but the summer’s events made him realize that he wants to pursue a career in music — not follow in his dad’s footsteps — despite the sudden end of his forbidden relationship with Riverdale’s young music teacher, Ms. Grundy.

Which means Archie doesn’t have anyone who will mentor him — certainly not singer Josie McCoy, who is only focused on her band, the soon-to-be-world-famous Pussycats.

All of this is weighing heavily on Archie’s mind, as does his strained connection with promising writer and classmate Jughead Jones. Meanwhile, Betty Cooper, the girl next door, is excited to see her crush Archie after being away all summer, but she isn’t yet ready to disclose her true emotions to him. Betty’s worries, which aren’t helped by her domineering mother Alice, aren’t the only thing holding her back.

When Veronica Lodge, a new student from New York, arrives in town with her mother Hermione, there’s an evident spark between her and Archie, even though Veronica doesn’t want to jeopardise her new friendship with Betty by making a move for Archie.

Cheryl Blossom, on the other hand… Riverdale’s Queen Bee is glad to cause problems for Archie, Betty, and Veronica, but Cheryl has her own secrets. What precisely is she keeping hidden regarding her twin brother, Jason’s, strange death? Riverdale may appear to be a tranquil hamlet, but there are dangers lurking in the shadows…

10.2 Storyline – Arrow

Oliver Queen, a spoiled millionaire playboy, is missing and is believed to be dead after his ship is lost at sea. Five years later, a transformed man who is ready to purge the city as a masked avenger with a bow makes his return.

Arrow features millionaire playboy Oliver Queen, who claims to have spent five years shipwrecked on Lian Yu, a mystery island in the North China Sea, before returning to Starling City to combat crime and corruption as a covert vigilante with a bow and arrow as his weapon of choice.

It was a great show in the first 2 seasons, started to get crappy in Season 3 and turned into a shitstorm in Season 4.

Season 5 redeemed the show from the depths of hell. Season 6 has just started, so get watching.

A.S

Throughout the series, Oliver is joined by others like as former soldier John Diggle, information technology specialist and adept hacker Felicity Smoak, former assassin Sara Lance, aspiring vigilante Roy Harper, Oliver’s sister Thea, and attorney-turned-vigilante Laurel Lance.

I watched first season it was ok. Watched half of second season and that’s it. Couldn’t bare it more so stopped watching.

Suraj S

Characters from Oliver’s past emerge in a different plot arc based on Oliver’s memories from the first five seasons of the program. Beginning with season seven, a series of flashbacks center on Oliver’s children, William and Mia, and explore how current events may effect their future and the Green Arrow’s legacy.

This series is becoming increasingly pathetic by the day. The first two seasons were actually rather enjoyable. But, starting with Season 3, the programme has achieved new levels of ridiculousness.

People pick to be superheroes at random and become such by the following episode. There aren’t many main characters remaining who haven’t died and resurrected.
