2023 is about to end and, as is usual on these dates, TorrentFreak has published the ranking of the most pirated series of the year.
Unfortunately for streaming video platforms, Piracy is still a serious problem that they have not been able to eradicate. And with the constant increase in the price of services, it seems difficult for them to achieve it one day. It is undeniable that many consumers resort to illegal downloads due to the impossibility of assuming more direct debit expenses.
The aforementioned media mentions that, for several years, Game of Thrones It remained at the top of the most pirated series. However, with HBO content now finished, that “crown” began to change hands.
Obviously, the ranking of the most pirated series of 2023 is not too surprising. Basically, we are looking at the most popular productions of the year, those that generated the most conversation on the internet while they were broadcast.
The Last of Usthe acclaimed series based on the Naughty Dog and PlayStation video game saga, tops the list of the most pirated series of 2023.
Although there was great expectation around The Last of Us Before its premiere, few anticipated that it would be so successful. In Latin America, it became the most watched series in the history of HBO Max, leaving behind The House of the Dragon. At the end of the broadcast of the first season, it was already the global flagship series of the aforementioned service.
HBO’s original proposal succeeded, in large part, because it respects a large part of the story that the first game proposed. For their part, the performances of Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey were outstanding. After several reviews, there is no doubt that they are the best actors to play Joel and Ellie.
The Last of Us It is the premiere of the year and you can only see it on HBO Max
The second place of the most pirated series of 2023 belongs to The Mandalorian, whose third season premiered last March. For many, it fell far behind its previous releases, but that did not prevent many people from downloading it on torrent sites.
Loki, also from Disney+, ranks third among the most pirated series. Its second season, as outstanding as the first, is one of the few Marvel productions that have managed to shine lately. The public did not want to miss the outcome of the story of the God of Deception.
On the list we can also highlight the presence of three Apple TV+ series: Silo, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and Ted Lasso. The latter came to an end after three wonderful seasons, while the other two barely debuted with their first episodes.
