The farewell to
Game of Thrones
has marked the end of an era, also in piracy.
According to the ranking prepared every year by the specialized website Torrent Freak, the series most downloaded illegally during 2020 was
The Mandalorian
from
Disney +
.
Fiction inspired by the
Star Wars
universe
has thus dethroned HBO's fantasy drama, which led this table for several years.
The Baby Yoda series thus rises two places, since in 2019 it occupied the third position.
In the year of the coronavirus pandemic, silver went to
Amazon
fiction
The Boys
and bronze to another
HBO
drama
, in this case
Westworld
.
As Torrent Freak points out, the podium is a good example of the
fragmentation of the television offer
in
streaming
, for every fiction is issued only on the platforms listed.
As many experts have pointed out, the multiplication of services and the dispersion of content could lead to an increase in piracy, as many viewers would not be willing to pay all these subscriptions to see their star titles, choosing then to download them illegally.
The rest of the list reflects the same trend, since practically every title belongs to a chain or service.
In fourth position remains the veteran
Vikings
, an original series from the
History
channel
that can be seen in Spain on
Netflix, HBO and Amazon
.
Star Trek: Picard
debuts in fifth place
, a fiction from the
CBS All Access
platform
that this 2021 will be renamed
Paramount +
, and which in our country is available on Amazon.
Rick and Morty
, the
Adult Swim
animated series
that can be seen on
Netflix and HBO
in Spain
, occupies the sixth place;
followed by another regular,
The Walking Dead
,
AMC's
zombie drama
whose 10 seasons are available on
Netflix, HBO and Amazon
.
Another debutante,
The visitor
of
HBO
, is in eighth position.
And the last two spots are for two superhero series from
The CW: Arrow
and
The Flash
, available on
Netflix and HBO
respectively.
Torrent Freak makes this list from the most downloaded individual episodes using data from various pages, including BitTorrent.
As they themselves acknowledge, this sample is only a small part of piracy, as other forms of piracy such as online viewings are not included in the estimates.
