Procedural series are more popular than ever

The success of “The Rookie” on Netflix is not surprising, as it follows the trend of “old-shows” or more traditional 20-episode season TV becoming a hit on streaming. For example, “Suits,” which ran from 2011 and 2019, was the most watched series on streaming in 2023, according to Nielsen.

The legal procedural drama, which starred Meghan Markle, Gabriel Macht, and Patrick Adams, had 57.7 billion streaming minutes, according to reports from Yahoo. Other popular shows on streaming were “NCIS,” “Grey’s Anatomy” and “The Big Bang Theory,” which all landed on the Top 10.
