With the Easter holidays coming up, there is plenty time to catch up on the endless fondue of tv series that are available on popular streaming services like Netflix or Showmax. While it might not be possible to watch all of them at once (you need fresh air. Seriously, get out!) we have found some of Netflix and Showmax's most watched series you should definitely consider for an Easter(egg)-binge.

Netflix's list was rounded up from overall viewing trends globally last December and November. Data that was collected revealed that there were a lot of "cheaters," those significant others who go behind your back and watch the show you said you would watch together. If you happen to be one of these sneaky little liars who go behind their viewing partner's backs, these are some of the shows that have tempted even the most loyal of partners.

1.   Narcos

2.   13 Reasons Why

3.  Stranger Things

4.  Orange is the New Black

5.  Sense 8

6.  Black Mirror
