  1. From the article:

    The series drew just over 1B minutes viewed from August 26 to September 1, with two new episodes launching on August 29, putting it at No. 2 on the overall list. Nielsen doesn’t separate titles by season, but the company did say that about 70% of the viewing for this interval came from the new episodes.

    That’s a decline from [Season 1’s debut week](https://deadline.com/2022/09/lord-of-the-rings-streaming-ratings-house-of-the-dragon-1235130831/), when the series racked up more than 1.2B minutes viewed across just two episodes — as opposed to the 11 that became available during this interval. Those two episodes also premiered mid week, meaning that Season 1 had just four days to rack up that total across those two episodes.

  2. Season 2 improved a lot of the pacing and storytelling problems season 1 had in my opinion. I just hope they‘re sticking to their 5 season plan.

    I definitely want them to tell their story from start to finish and see the complete interpretation of the events of the second age.

  3. They measure minutes “viewed” and not minutes “enjoyed” and act like they’re the same thing…

  4. In spite of some critics and vocal groups hating on the series, the Lord of the Rings IP on an accessible service like Amazon (included with Prime membership) is still a powerhouse.

    If they get they get the views, they will continue to make the product even if many think it is subpar.
