>the fact Bezos was personally involved makes it flopping even more delicious
How is it "flopping" exactly when most press & solid statistical data are saying the exact opposite?

I think when you've spent as much money as Amazon has spent on this series so far anything less than 10 is a relative flop

ITT a bunch of people who have no idea what the economics are behind the show that just change the goal posts of what success means because they don’t like a show.
This sub has some of the most desperate and toxic television viewers

Again how exactly is a flop when actual facts & data say it isn't? You guys haven't even provided one shred of evidence that the show isn't a success other than "Nuh huh cause I say so" & it's honestly pathetic.

Ignoring the obvious metrics, one of the aims of RoP was to become a water cooler show, the issue is, no one wants to talk about it because it's just not that good.
As for press and data - Do you really trust mainstream reviewers and press writers? They will literally praise a pile of doggy poo if the company that made it is big enough to give them perks or future business. Regarding data - streaming metrics are highly prone to manipulation, keep in mind minutes watched is one such and if an embedded video on prime starts playing, you bet thats counting towards that figure.

Well that's a broad statement...
Personally, I still talk about it at work sometimes, with coworkers who didn't follow it as it released but are watching now.

It's doing numbers equal to a lower tier hit while being by far the most expensive production ever.
It bombed.

Well, it wouldn’t appear that way to a shill, I suppose.
