The top 10 shows on Hulu and Netflix in August 2016

• Stranger Things is only eight episodes long but that hasn’t stopped it from being the top show on Netflix for the second month in a row. With nearly 60% of the top traffic share, Stranger Things beat its nearest competition, BoJack Horseman, by an amazing 47%.
• Last month, Orange is the New Black ranked second overall, but this month it has fallen down to fourth, and was beaten by The Get Down, a musical drama set in the late 1970s.
• Like OITNB, Gilmore Girls has fallen slightly since last month and now ranks as the sixth most popular show among Netflix users.
• The bottom of the Netflix list is full of laughs and heavily dominated by comedies including Family Guy at 5th, Friends at 7th, How I Met Your Mother at 8th, and The Office in 10th.

Hulu:

• Despite not airing a new episode since December 9, 2015, South Park remains the favorite show of HULU viewers, coming in first place for yet another month.
• After South Park, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah holds onto second place, narrowly beating out Naruto Shippuden, the anime which rose from fifth in July to third in August.
• Two other animated shows, Rick and Morty, and Family Guy, performed well. Overall, four of the top five shows are animated.
• Of the bottom five on the list, four out of five are reality shows, with Seinfeld at ninth being the lone exception. It would seem HULU users have a strong preference towards animated shows and reality-contest type TV shows.
