Although consuming movies and series is easier than ever thanks to the prominence of streaming services, there are still many people who resort to piracy to watch their favorite productions. So, what were the most downloaded series through illegal means in 2023?
Surprisingly, an adaptation of a video game tops the list of the most pirated television series of the year. Were talking about none other than HBOs The Last of Us.
