Millennials and Gen X can agree on at least one thing: they love "Game of Thrones."
Rotten Tomatoes recently conducted a survey for Business Insider of over 7,500 television viewers to determine their viewing habits.
As video becomes more accessible and audiences are presented with more ways than ever to consume it, Rotten Tomatoes found some surprising similarities and differences between millennials (18-34) and Gen X (34-54).
Here's everything you should know about how millennials and Gen X watch TV:
Both generations named "Game of Thrones" their favorite TV show over the past 20 years, and their favorite current TV show.
Both generations agree that Netflix has the best overall shows.
89% of millennials say they watch most of their "TV" on Netflix versus live TV. 78% of Gen X say the same. (This includes traditional TV shows Netflix has rights to, like "Breaking Bad.")
More Gen X viewers watch TV shows produced by networks, while nearly half of Millennials (48%) watch Netflix original shows.
