Each State’s Most Searched Netflix Reality Shows

But as we’ve seen the likes of The Bachelor (and The Bachelorette), Real Housewives of [enter city here], and other cable TV reality shows gain global popularity, it’s no wonder that streaming services like Netflix have delved into reality TV themselves. From Too Hot To Handle to Glow Up: The Next Make-Up Star, Netflix is dishing out reality shows for their over 200 million paid subscribers.
With season 2 of Love Is Blind just around the corner, USDISH wanted to know where each state claimed their reality show loyalty.
