People are consuming TV shows and movies at higher rates than ever before thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. According to The Verge, platforms are experiencing a "surge" of traffic since the coronavirus began to spread.

And this makes total sense. From binging Netflix's Tiger Kingto watching all the new movies now available on-demand, entertainment is an essential part of daily life, as there's not much else to do beyond that.
