Network procedurals and sitcoms, for instance, regularly draw larger audiences in absolute terms than cable series, like 'Succession,' that drive intense Twitter chatter and media attention.Īccording to Parrot Analytics, which measures the audience demand for television and film by tracking a number of factors, such as social media engagement and downloads (including pirated versions), “The Rings of Power” averaged 30.5 times more demand than the average TV show in the U.S.

In particular, the always-elusive 'water-cooler' hit that drives in-person and online conversation has become increasingly hard to predict, much less cultivate, as the number of TV series and platforms has proliferated and the entertainment audience has fragmented into smaller and smaller pieces. But how big of a hit, and what even makes a “hit” in such a crowded entertainment landscape, is harder to pinpoint. That “The Rings of Power” is a hit is not up for debate. TVs, meaning viewership on other devices, traditional linear TV and the global audience are not included. And Nielsen’s streaming ranking counts minutes streamed only on U.S. 5-11.īut these numbers paint an incomplete picture: There is generally no way to verify a streamer’s viewership numbers even after they are released. 4 - where the Prime Video series debuted at No. According to Nielsen’s streaming rankings, “The Rings of Power” topped “House of the Dragon” in total minutes streamed for both the week of Aug. The streamer is clearly in this for the long haul as well, having committed to a five-season story.įor comparison, HBO’s hit “Game of Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon” premiered to an audience of 10 million people on its first day, expanding to 20 million with delayed multiplatform viewership.

And Amazon is delighted, according to sources familiar with the data, who linked some of the strong viewership boon to Prime Video hosting 'Thursday Night Football” in the same window. More recently, Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke told Variety that they are “cresting toward 100 million customers having watched.” And she anticipated viewership to grow with the show’s final episodes. The studio announced that “The Rings of Power” broke Prime Video viewership records when more than 25 million people watched on the first day the series was available. (In the main, critics have been more positive, according to review aggregation sites like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic).Īmazon, for its part, has been touting “The Rings of Power’s” successes. Otherwise, it’s no surprise that a long-gestating TV show based on the mythology behind a beloved fantasy series has garnered mixed reviews from audiences.

That “The Rings of Power” is, as Times TV critic Robert Lloyd described in his review, “visibly expensive” is perhaps the one thing viewers can agree on. All the money in production shows more so than any other series that I’ve seen.” “I'm finding it quite enjoyable,” said Balaoro. A fan of Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” film trilogy, he thinks Amazon’s investment has paid off.
