Some shows have been named the most popular in just one state. “Little Fires Everywhere“, one of 2020’s most-anticipated releases, starring Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, is Rhode Island’s most popular pick. However, the drama miniseries was actually set in Ohio during the late 1990s.
More one-state wonders included “Castle Rock“, which won over Colorado, and “Mrs. America“, the drama series that tells the story of the 1970’s movement to pass the Equal Rights Amendment, took top place in Washington DC.
