Part 9/10:
The early narrative pushed by Amazon that The Rings of Power was dominating is challenged by the detailed viewership figures. When factoring in the total available data—especially the combined effect of cable, on-demand, and streaming—it becomes evident that House of the Dragon still holds a significant and perhaps more dedicated audience.
Looking ahead, unless The Rings of Power can reverse its declining interest and improve its engagement metrics, its initial headline victories may be seen as short-lived. The comparison also underscores the importance of understanding the nuances behind streaming numbers, rather than relying solely on sensational headlines.
