Part 7/9:
While Disney’s numbers suggest a success, the reality seems far different. The negative word of mouth and critical reception raise doubts about sustained engagement and long-term viewership. The show's focus on representation, diversity, and inclusion might dominate marketing narratives, but they do little to mitigate poor storytelling and execution, which audiences have clearly noticed.
In addition, the actual viewership quality and audience retention are questionable. The show's audience score sinking below 30% indicates widespread dissatisfaction, which could hamper future viewership and carving a significant hit on Disney’s investment returns.
