Things are looking good for ROP.

There is a new Screen Rant article about pressure on Season 2 to fix Amazon's mistakes, but don't bother. It mentions Season 3 also. But I'm not even going to link to it because It's a worthless, short, lazy exercise to see how many times the writer can repeat the same things, hoping you already forgot what they wrote in the previous paragraph. It probably only exists for the clicks. The mistakes aren't listed except for being predictable and departing from the lore. It's written like an AI on Valium. It's Access Media like this, and other things generally going on, that makes me wonder if the world is being affected by some unknown analog to Roman lead pipes and human IQ is in catastrophic decline.

In the article these three gems of consistency

1. The first season of The Rings of Power received mixed reviews,
2. The first season of The Rings of Power received mostly positive reviews,
And then sums up with:
3. the series currently holds just a 38% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, though critics were more receptive, with the series holding an 83% critic's score.
Obviously, Jeff Bezos does not hold people accountable and is content losing millions "McKay and Payne will be staying busy with Amazon MGM, as it was announced that the pair have signed a new overall deal with the studio. " They should have been axed in a sane world.

This whole series is a waste of time. Hope the 'mythical' modern audience of 200 or so weirdos are enjoying it!

Lots of very serious Tolkien fans here who enjoy the show very much. What's weird about that?

This would be a better post if you got the myth correct. Amazon posted numbers multiple orders of magnitude above 200 that were well beyond credible and provable, then the internet says only 37% finished watching it. Maybe you could find sources for all that.
Also, like what Amazon did itself, name-calling isn't impressive.

Are you saying Amazon inflates its viewership to obfuscate its failures? What's next? The sky is blue!?
Parts of ROP are trash. Maybe they'll do better next time. I don't know what the creators were thinking.
Parts of Jackson's LOTR are trash. Maybe they'll do better next time. I don't know what the creators were thinking.
(BTW - both WB and NEW LINE were suspected of fudging numbers as well, including lawsuits and bad blood. Amazon is just business as usual. If there wasn't a white hot culture war about this crap, nobody would even notice.)

The 37% figure was taken before the series had finished and reflected initial drop off, which was inevitable. Amazon's figures were taken longer term, and just like enjoyment of the season, its success was a slow burn. It was far and away Amazon's most popular series in terms of viewership, that's simply a fact.

I loved it so much I watched it all through 5 times. (Love mixed with a bit of loathing, to be fair)
So I guess I look like 5 people in the stats.
