I'd assume that it's based on some form of measure. How many times streamed,, average episode rating, how many streaming/hosting licenses were purchased, etc etc.
I can absolutely see how a show without much narrative complexity but is delightful 'popcorn' to second-screen watch after a long day could perform well. It's all in which metrics were used and how they were weighted.
I also think they only checked certain streaming services, but not all. Because there are some very good shows missing. And also many older shows are missing. At least Six Feet Under made the list, as an older show. But it shouldn't be so low on the list. Especially when you see the other shows above it. It makes no sense.
Also I didn't see Utopia (UK), The Expanse, Silo and Shrinking, which are really good. The Expanse is seen as the best scifi ever made. How can it be missing from the list.
Then they added Black Mirror, low on the list, without specifying seasons or UK and US as with other shows. The first UK seasons should have been at least in the top 10.
