With the holidays looming, audiences stuck to what interested them on streaming services last week, as the usual suspects and newcomers like Netflix’s “Voltron: Legendary Defender” remained on this week’s list.

Every week, Parrot Analytics provides Business Insider with a list of the seven most “in-demand” TV shows on streaming services. The data is based on “demand expressions,” the globally standardised TV demand measurement unit from Parrot Analytics. Audience demand reflects the desire, engagement, and viewership weighted by importance, so a stream or download is a higher expression of demand than a “like” or comment on social media.
