TV shows can edge their way into our daily lives, becoming a regular topic of discussion among friends and colleagues. According to a survey conducted by the Roku platform, nearly four in 10 adults in Britain prefer to talk about the latest TV shows with colleagues and friends, rather than about the weather (27%), work (24%) or relationships (17%).

With the multitude of streaming platforms, in addition to TV channels, the choice of available shows has continued to grow.
