Does anime count? It might be Japan. Otherwise maybe the UK.

I’m going with India.

The main source seems to be a representative of the TV industry in that country.

Wrong. If the bed is made you have to move the covers so you can get under them, then cover yourself up. If the bed us unmade you just get in cover yourself up. Making your bed is using up precious doom scrolling time to make it more difficult to go back to bed. Lose lose.

@Melkerson

we had hired some people for housecleaning and they came every two weeks. Bed making is part of what they do.

This is not “making the bed” this is having someone else make your bed.

The only thing more satisfying than accomplishing something for yourself is making someone else do it on your behalf! I beam with pride every time the lawn guy spruces up around the old homestead.

Didn’t realise Americans outsource their personal trimming.

I’m editing an article and someone used the term “Washingtonian” for someone who lives in D.C., so I went to look it up just to be sure it wasn’t something else (since it’s the same for people from Washington state).

When I typed, “What is the name for someone…” the first autofill was “…who likes pain.”

I can only imagine what your browser history looks like.

Is it cheating to give the answer to this one if I know what German language magazine you got the information from?

South Korea

I don’t watch series but was into Korean movies for a while.

No.

@iron81

I’m gonna go with Mexico.

No.

@Jalfrezi

Also how do we define large? Number of series, number of downloads, number of what?

Because it’s a shock answer I’ll go for one of the Scandis.

international sales and global viewership.

Not one of the Scandis.

@eyebooger

I don’t know what metric we’re going with here, but how can this not be the UK?

Also what was the answer to the Jason Alexander question?

The UK was number 2 and the BBC might still be the largest single producer of content in the world.

Jason Alexander was 29. You were all much closer than I would have been.

Not Japan either. UK, see above.

@anon46587892

I know the answer you want, but I’m not able to find a source that shows the data they’re using, and Variety has a list that doesn’t include that country in the top five.

I found a Variety article from 2016. It must be a more recent development.

For those who want to keep guessing

Hint:

It‘s in Asia

Kind of. It‘s not really guessing if you know the answer.

According to Google I’m dumb:

I hate to think what @clovis8’s would look like.

[StrontiumDog]

A few of mine were exactly the same as these.

You should see the questions Google asks me.
