[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8236586, member: 18"] I'm going to have to call naughty word on the CBR clickbait article which can't even bother to spell popular ("polar") I'm afraid mate. It's a talking about a [I]single week[/I] in February, and it can't explain the metrics it's using, which are not the conventional "how many people watched it" ones, it appears. Going to Parrot's website, we can see that "Demand" is basically total naughty word they've made up in order to convince people to give them money: [URL='https://www.parrotanalytics.com/measurement/']Global Demand Measurement[/URL] EDIT - OH MY GOD IT'S SO MUCH WORSE THAN I THOUGHT. Not only are they not measuring actual viewing or anything of the sort, whatever ridiculous metric it is, is allowing shows that aren't even on TV to totally dominate on "Demand". For example, scroll to the bottom of that page and select "United Kingdom". See Superman and Lois is absolutely killing it on "Demand" (their made-up metric). It's at +2463% - wow, I guess it must be a big show in the UK. ... ...... ITS NOT EVEN ON TV IN THE UK!!! Arggggghhhh! No network has even bought it yet. But according to our buddies at Parrot, it's totally the top show in the UK, because of their "Demand" metric. I think I lost like 10 IQ just trying to even understand this naughty word. I will never regret walking away from that industry. I'm just like INCREDIBLY skeptical that your 14-year-old son is going to be into grimdark low-magic Greyhawk which all about politics and so on, as has been suggested in this thread.
