Also they simulcast on YouTube. I dunno what those numbers are though but I bet they are high.

I thought Youtube was delayed a day or two?

If you have a CR membership you can watch it live.

Oh and isn’t the the touted twitch numbers for live viewers? It doesn’t include day after or vod views.

But do those count in this measure?

With what they've done I see it turning off a LOT of households (cartoon with violence and language...which is kind of like South Park, but this isn't a straight comedy and fantasy is another arena that makes it a smaller appeal already).

Again, it's based on a wildly popular series that does the exact same thing.

I get this not being your cuppa, but the reality where this isn't going to at least draw their huge fanbase to check it out is not going to manifest.

Critical Role gets 1.4 million viewers per episode, and rising.

To put this in perspective versus Wheel of Time on Prime Video.

The Wheel of Time: Amazon Studios Exec Talks Strong Debut, How Season 2 Might Pair With Lord of the Rings

Amazon Studios exec Vernon Sanders reacts to "The Wheel of Time" viewership numbers, teases plan for an even bigger Season 2.

As reported by Nielsen, Prime Video’s adaptation of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time fantasy saga amassed 1.16 billion minutes viewed across its first three episodes, easily topping the U.S. ranking of streaming original series.

Doing the math, that's 8.8 million views per episode for the top original streaming series on its debut.

1.4 million viewers per 3 hour episode for 10 episodes

2.4 billion minutes?

Am I dumb? Did I do it wrong?

Edit, oh, three episodes.

 

[darjr]

Wait, wheel of time has been a popular book series for how long?

How does its numbers mean VM isn’t going to be a huge success?

 

[GreyLord]

1.4 million viewers per 3 hour episode for 10 episodes

2.4 billion minutes?

Am I dumb? Did I do it wrong?

Edit, oh, three episodes.

Well, wheel of time is ~60 minutes each.

Equals around 26.6 million distinct streamers (meaning it could be much higher in viewers). If I did the math right.

1.4 million viewers is...well....1.4 million viewers.

In streaming viewers it would mean a dedicated series on Amazon has around 19X the number of viewers Critical Role has.

OR, if we separate it into 3 episodes with 1.4 million different veiwers each, that would still leave Amazon at 6X the number of veiwers of Critical Role (and I rounded down in FAVOR of CR numbers).

Wait, wheel of time has been a popular book series for how long?

How does its numbers mean VM isn’t going to be a huge success?

It's also noted right in the article to be the TOP original streaming series with those numbers from its debut, so that could well be its high mark

Versus an independent twitch series.

Sure showed them.
