The report by American academics has listed popular favourites and decided where our viewing tastes leave us on the status-ometer.

🚨Spoiler alert: high-status taste is no longer highbrow

✍️@Telegraph's Shane Watson has put together her own TV hierarchy guide

❓When did you start?

If you bought Back to Black in 2006 before Amy Winehouse hit the big time, or you were guzzling up Friday Night Dinner way before it became a national treasure, you want everyone to know

❓When did you stop?

High status viewing means knowing when to stop.

The Handmaid’s Tale not long after it became the "let’s keep making up horrible escape-and recapture-scenarios, season after season" show might be one example

👉The ones that are 'so bad they’re good'

🥖Emily in Paris might be on this list, Shane Watson writes

Do you consider your viewing habits to be "high status"?

👉The ones you have to watch no matter what

These would include I May Destroy You (no skipping the hard to watch scenes)

For the past 16 months, our main source of happiness and conversation has been the things we were watching and how those united us and - let’s face it - separated us
