The streaming quiz
Platform launches, original-series firsts and the milestones of the streaming wars — five questions for the binge-watch generation.
Before you start
The streaming era compressed fifty years of television history into fifteen: new platforms, new records, and a new kind of trivia where the interesting fact is often about the service rather than the show. This round covers both — platform history and the originals that defined it. Show-specific deep cuts live on the TV quiz.

Frequently asked questions
Which platforms are in scope?
Any service with original programming — Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Max, Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock and Apple TV+ all appear, plus regional services where a fact is notable.
How do you verify 'most-watched' claims?
Carefully. Platforms self-report by inconsistent metrics, so explanations name the metric and the source, and we prefer third-party-confirmed figures where they exist.
Do questions cover pricing and business news?
Launch dates and acquisitions, yes — those are stable facts. Subscription prices change too often to make durable questions.
