Why 'Suits' Was the Most Streamed Show of 2023

The most streamed TV show of 2023 wasn’t a cult classic or a critical darling. It was Suits, the glossy legal drama that has become a runaway hit on Netflix. The USA Network drama aired its last episode in the fall of 2019, bringing an unofficial end to the network’s era of breezy “blue-sky” dramas like Monk and Psych. But it became a surprise smash in 2023, topping Nielsen’s streaming charts for a record 12 weeks in a row and finishing the year with a cumulative 57.7 billion minutes—edging out the mark set by The Office in 2020, the first year Nielsen started releasing Top 10 charts.
