Ratings reviews directly affected the show’s average viewership, as Dragon House started with 10 million viewers to now average 29 million viewers per episode. As the person who wrote the lore, George RR Martin is directly involved in the series, many fans feel relieved.
On the other hand, power rings seems to have a hard time satisfying his fans. It started off strong with 25 million viewers worldwide, but the real challenge comes with retention and its ability to attract new viewers, which doesn’t seem likely.
