Conservatives and liberals love wildly different TV shows — here are the top series across the political spectrum

American conservatives and liberals are sharply divided on many issues — especially these days.

And it turns out one of them is television.

In fact, a study by social-media research firm Fizziology suggests there are only three major TV shows that both sides like equally.

So which shows do each side favor?

According to Fizziology, the shows that liberals enjoy most have more diverse casts, and seem to center around modern life in "urban settings." Conservatives tend to favor shows with "traditional notions of heroism and bravery," which revolve around the military, or rescue workers.

Fizziology cofounder Ben Carlson spoke to Business Insider about how the study was conducted, and which particular shows were enjoyed by people on both sides of the political spectrum.

To create the samples of liberals and conservatives, data analysts at Fizziology identified audience personas by pulling from social-media bios. From there, they calculated which shows significantly over or under-performed with those samples.

Carlson said there wasn't much of an overlap when it came to liberal and conservative television preferences. There were only three shows that liberals and conservatives both seemed to enjoy equally: "Dancing with the Stars," "Star Trek: Discovery," and "The Orville."

Carlson pointed out that these shows "don't necessarily have a political flavor," and suggested that probably had a lot to do with why liberals and conservatives both enjoyed them.

"Dancing and space — these are the things that unite our country," Carlson said.

Here are the top five shows most popular with both conservative and liberal audiences:
