Too Much Drama and Horror Already: The COVID-19 Pandemic's Effects
summary
Analysis of TV Time app data from about 230,000 users compares two-month pre‑WHO-declaration, early‑pandemic and “new normal” windows with seasonality adjusted using the prior three years. Findings: drama down 8–11% (12–16% relative), horror down 4–5% (≈46–57% relative) and adventure down 3–4% while crime, thriller, action and sci‑fi rise; men and older users show larger profile shifts. Data are self‑reported at episode level and don’t control for platform availability.
