For all the expensive original content Netflix and Amazon have been putting on their platforms, viewers in the U.K. are more concerned with a TV show that ended more than 15 years ago.

According to a new report by British media regulator Ofcom, "Friends" is the most streamed show on paid-for SVOD services for the second year running. The U.S. sitcom, which first aired in 1994 and came to an end in 2004, was only added to Netflix in early 2018 (and will soon be leaving for HBO Max), but now accounts for around 2 percent of total U.K. streams.
