Perhaps it says something about the state of the world we're in, but sci-fi and fantasy has overtaken comedy as Netflix subscribers' favourite genre.
The facts and figures come from analytics firm Ampere Analysis, who claim that 12 percent of all of the streaming giant's users chose the sci-fi and fantasy genre as the one they like the most.
The data relates to the first quarter of this year and Netflix's original series, rather than licensed content, but subscribers can still expect to see an influx in new sci-fi shows in the near future.

Ampere Analysis claims that Netflix has been able to "anticipate" an increase in demand in series such as Stranger Things and expand its production accordingly (via Business Insider).

And if you think about it, it's not hard to see why Netflix is knocking it out the park in the sci-fi and fantasy genre – not only are we impatiently waiting for season three of Stranger Things, there's also The OA, Altered Carbon and the Lost in Space reboot to enjoy.
Couple that with Netflix original movies such as The Cloverfield Paradox, Bright and Annihilation, and it's hard to argue that sci-fi and fantasy are having a moment.
The latest viewing figures for the re-imagined Lost in Space series do nothing but confirm Ampere's findings, after drawing in an impressive amount of viewers.
Not quite Stranger Things impressive, mind you.
It's reported that the new series attracted 6.3 million US viewers within its first three days, and that viewers watched the show for an average 2.5 hours.
