Another year, another “most pirated TV shows” list topped by HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” TorrentFreak has released its annual list of the 10 most pirated TV programs of 2017, and “Game of Thrones” is in the top spot for the sixth year in a row thanks to its blockbuster Season 7. The seven-episode season was also a ratings record-breaker, earning well over 10 million viewers most weeks. The finale, “The Dragon and the Wolf,” is the most watched “Thrones” episode ever with 12 million viewers.

TorrentFreak’s also includes fan-driven series such as “The Walking Dead,” “The Flash,” and “Rick and Morty,” all of which placed in the top 5 this year.
