One of the core assumptions about Netflix is that, thanks to its popularity and ubiquity, the service can blur boundaries. From Nashua, New Hampshire, to Newport Beach, California, Seattle to Sarasota, Florida, we're all watching the same thing. (And that thing, it seems, is "The Crown.")
A researcher in Salt Lake City named Victoria Merinda has compiled the most searched-for Netflix shows in the country over this past year and proceeded to break them down by state. And it turns out, Americans are interested in very different shows depending on where they live.
To wit: No single series captured the top ranking in even one-fifth of states.
