[QUOTE="billd91, post: 8985735, member: 3400"] I can see the point - a heavily advertised show is going to get a lot of drive-by viewers just to see what the fuss is about. So looking at the absolute numbers of accounts checking out the show and converting to faithful followers is also a metric to consider as well as the completion rate. But it still indicates that the sensationalism of the heavy marketing, stories about the huge budget, etc didn't have a lot of ability to rope in the viewers who came to check it out. In other words, only a little over 1/3 of the people who watched the first episode found reasons to watch the story to the end of the season. That 1/3 of initial viewers would have to be pretty big to justify outlying that kind of scratch on a continuing basis This too, is important in the analysis. The Lord of the Rings is a well-known entity. People are probably unlikely to realize Rings of Power was a bad fit genre-wise - they already knew much about its genre going in. I know that various situations the world is in have repeatedly shown how willing people are to live under rocks and be largely unaware of things going on around them or their broader significance, but I think that's a relatively small minority here.
