> neglecting the sharp decline of viewers once people realized the show was terribly made.

> People watched and the majority stopped watching

> So you’re completely missing the fact that the show had huge drop off

> Your grabbing onto the initial hype of the show and forgetting the downward spiral the show had after the initial release lol

Here are the Nielsen ratings by week. RoP released 2 episodes on 9/1/2022 and then one episode weekly through 10/14/2022.

Week ending 9/4: 1,253 million minutes

Week ending 9/11: 1,203 million minutes

Week ending 9/18: 988 million minutes

Week ending 9/25: 977 million minutes

Week ending 10/2: 966 million minutes

Week ending 10/9: 988 million minutes

Week ending 10/16: 1,137 million minutes

I don't see this "sharp decline" or "huge dropoff" and certainly no evidence that "the majority stopped watching".

The FBI is supposed to move out of that building in the near future. Hopefully they remember to tell Mulder in the basement before they turn the lights off.

Relevant George Carlin bit

The one about the Mandela Effect perfectly encapsulates why Fox Mulder's quest doesn't work in the post-Trump era. It's also really funny.

It felt more like an episode of Black Mirror, but I did love how it had almost no dialogue. Really cool concept.

Probably cuz they reuse the same local Canadian actors.

The Boys also had 24 episodes available.

And one episode was called jump the shark.

It's a really good point. Do you think that is because of the shows themselves or the marketing of those shows? I wasn't a big fan of the LOTR series (so can see how it didn't become mainstream) but there have been a few I've seen there that I really enjoyed and thought deserved more wide success but, as you said, never really got it. The Boys, maybe? Ms. Maisel, maybe? But only really in critics' minds.

It is exactly what it is. Sexy People Have Adventures! When I want steak, I'll watch the Wire. When I want cupcakes, I'll watch Outerbanks.

Not how companies work, dude. He has money, but he also has legal obligations to shareholders and can't justify a money sink because he "likes LOTR".

I'm currently doing a re-watch . I'm on season two

I'm curious how it'll do for the second season. The first season seems to be mostly gaining from the hype and curiosity. Ratings for the second season would show if people are committed enough to the show.

and especially on par with most of the linear television stuff

with how shit most of the hollywood content is written these days i have 0 sympathy if they get replaced

By the time the X Files aired they had the Simpsons was about to start its 5th season.. Not that the network was massive as the other 3 major networks but it wasn't tiny tiny as it was in the late 80s

I didn’t think it sucked at all. I thought it was interesting, gripping, beautiful and I really enjoyed it. Don’t forget that most people probably enjoyed it. The subset of people who like to come on reddit and complain about things, and indeed actively seek out things to complain about and then kind of form a mob of unreasonable “haters” is actually a tiny, insignificant number of people.

I've seen people trying to claim the second season is 'in jeopardy' and might even be cancelled or the showrunners replaced...even though it's literally filming right now lol.

Alex Kurtzman has just entered the chat

Agreed although it picks up again near the end.

That would be Steven Soderbergh. HBO told him they were interested in the show but didn’t have a spot in the schedule for it for at least two or three years. He could either wait and see if they could make it then, or he could get it made right then at Cinemax. So they took it to Cinemax.
