How do these latest metrics work? Well, Parrot Analytics’ output data (via Forbes) reflects an interest in a show measured up against that of an average TV series, resulting in House of the Dragon possessing as much 55.4x more times than the average, while Rings of Power has a 30x in the week than ran from September 10 through 16. Surprisingly, She-Hulk edges Rings of Power with 33.2x to make up the top three series right now, with Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Welcome to Wrexham docuseries sitting at an admirable fourth place with a 20.2x score.
Suffice it to say, complex data that measures viewership or interest is not really necessary to arrive at the conclusion that House of the Dragon’s impact has been greater than Rings of Power. Even a simple Google Trends search will reveal the same, be it in the U.S. or on a worldwide scale. What should be most worrying about Rings of Power is that all these numbers have been on a downtrend since its premiere, whereas House of the Dragon has only harvested more traffic and viewership.
This should also highlight their contrasting styles, as House of the Dragon’s time jumps have covered a lot of ground, as opposed to the slow burn Rings of Power seems to be aiming for. Nevertheless, it’s beyond doubt which one is off to a better start.
