Netflix
This year, the top TV shows included ABC's "Bachelor in Paradise," which had a scandalous shut down over the summer; The CW's teen drama and mystery series "Riverdale;" and ABC's new ratings hit "The Good Doctor."
Topping the list was Netflix's "13 Reasons Why," a drama about a teenager who kills herself and leaves notes for those she's left behind, and those who have wronged her. The series sparked controversy for allegedly glorifying suicide, especially given its vulnerable teenage audience. But Netflix maintained that it helped promote an honest dialogue between parents and children.
According to Google, here are the TV shows that had the highest spike in traffic over a sustained period in 2017 as compared to 2016:
