The Demand Distribution curve illustrates how a TV show’s popularity compares to the demand benchmark, which is a measure of the average demand across all titles. The curve is divided into performance buckets, ranging from “Below Average” to “Exceptional”. A show falls into one of these performance buckets depending on how many times more or less demand it has compared to the demand benchmark.
The show’s performance is market-specific, e.g. the same show can be in the “Average” range in the United States and in the “Good” range in France.
As an example, if a show has 9 times more demand than the demand benchmark, it falls in the “Outstanding” performance range; only 2.7% of all shows in the market reach this high level of demand.
As an entertainment executive, you need to make informed content, acquisition, distribution, and programming decisions. Demand data is a powerful tool that can help you make these decisions. In this article, we will explore how demand data for a popular TV series, "Dexter," can be analyzed using Parrot Analytics' metrics to provide insights relevant to your decision-making process.

This data can help you value the series in the Dutch market and beyond.
Optimal Release Strategy and Pricing: Another question that arises when evaluating content is what the best release strategy is and how to price it.

Subscriber Acquisition and Retention: Each time a TV series is acquired, a critical decision point is whether it will help grow or retain your subscriber base. By using demand data, it is possible to gauge a TV series' ability to drive subscriptions and mitigate churn. The analysis of "Dexter" shows an increase in audience demand of 1.2% over the last 30 days in the Netherlands, indicating it may be useful in attracting new subscribers.
