The turn of the year is just around the corner, and that also means it’s time for year-end lists. The website Torrentfreak provides a rather inglorious top 10 list, which nevertheless says a lot about the most popular series titles of the past year: The list of the shows that were most pirated in 2021.
For a long time, the epic fantasy series “Game of Thrones” led the way, before the “Star Wars” series “The Mandalorian” took over the top position after the GoT ended last year. But in 2021 the clear “winner” of the pirated list is Marvel – more precisely the new MCU series on the mouse streaming service Disney +. Here is the top 10 list of the most pirated shows in 2021 at a glance:
As you can see, Marvel is represented in the top 10 a whopping 5 times (and in the first 6 places!). The top position goes to “WandaVision”, the 1st MCU series that has ever appeared. Then comes the gigantic success “Loki”, before Netflix with “The Witcher” appears at number 3.
The 3 following places, however, belong again to Marvel and Disney +: “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, “Hawkeye” and the anthology series “What If …?” Follow. In 7th place is “Foundation”, a show on the streaming service Apple TV +, the sci-fi madness “Rick and Morty” makes it to 8, and after the Netflix show “Arcane” there is also “Das Rad der.” Time “from Amazon Prime Video and completes the top 10.
What is striking about this list is that many viewers are probably interested in the Marvel series on Disney +, but by no means all of them seem ready to take out a subscription to Disney +. This may be due to the fragmented state of the streaming landscape. For example, anyone who already has a Netflix subscription does not want to take out one more with Disney + in order to be able to “only” stream a show from the service – such as “WandaVision”, for example.
With the above list you should also keep in mind that not all pirates download nowadays. After all, illegal streaming sites are much more widespread, although they do not publish such top 10 lists. Either way, however, Torrentfreak.com’s top 10 offers an interesting look at the popularity of series 2021 and the huge popularity of Marvel shows.
