The 15 Most-Read Too Much TV Stories In 2025

2025 was a crazy year for Too Much TV. A number of big exclusives that were picked up by bigger outlets as well as pieces that provided an alternative view of the streaming business than the one you'll often read in the traditional Hollywood trades.

But I'll be honest: writing five a pieces a week is a bit of a reporting firehose and looking back over a year's worth of newsletters in order to out this piece together, there were a few pieces I didn't even remember writing until I saw them again.

Regardless, I think this list is pretty representative of what you'll read in the newsletter on any random day.
