it is going to be blistering the Torrents.

 

[Freeman76]

After reading Pedro Pascal saying he was heaitant about the role until he read the script, saying it was the best he has ever read, I'm convinced this will become huge after a relatively small viewership at the start so I voted less than 5mil, which I expect will grow as season moves on

 

[Arachnid]

From my experience, and I've had alot since the game came out, it's virtually impossible to get something out these discussions.
People who failed to understand/empathize with Joel actions in The Last of Us, are either just biologically built differently, or way too young to grasp subtle and meaningful concepts.

Which makes their Druckmann cocksucking all the more hilarious considering he's the one who always sadistically killed every single doctor at the end of every playthroug of Part I, a game made for his daughter.
Because that was the point of it, entirely missed by all those "I hated Joel and his selfish decision" who literally failed at the game.

Spot on. Joel did what anyone would do. People stanning for and justifying Abby for getting revenge when her dad was going to strip a kid to parts for a long shot cure after procuring her through fucked up means is peak trog.

Yes, Joel is a morally ambiguous character at best. So is everyone else in this series that had to live through the initial outbreak and ensuing years of zombie wild west. Him saving his daughter from the Fireflies after they tricked him into thinking the operation wouldn't kill her is not one of the things he did wrong.

2. True Detective - 2.33m
3. Sopranos - 3.45m
4. The Wire - 3.7m
5. Carnivale - 5.33m

[Guardian's Light]

I'll watch it out of curiosity, but I cannot go over how fucking horrible the casting choices have been

Hard to do worse than this

 

[noise36]

I will check it out but the casting looks bad and video game adaptions dont have a great history of success.

 

[Astral Dog]

one Billion viewers

 

[remember_spinal]

In for the butthurt once the ratings/emmy nominations come in

People thinking this will be a halo level bomb are in for a rude awakening

 

[Jormatar]

Lots of people.

Thanks! Damn HoD is crazy

 

[Yoboman]

Probably start off with a million or two, if it's good get closer to 5 million by the finale

 

[Stooky]

I think the the first episode will do good numbers 2 mill. If that first episode is amazing, thru word of mouth I think the numbers for the following could be really good.

 

[Aaron Olive]

Refuse to watch for Ellie’s newfound forehead. Hair and makeup could’ve at least gave her a hair piece and styled it over the forehead. she was cool in GOT so not hating on her.

Joel and Bill are close match though.

 

[DenchDeckard]

It's going to be huuuuge

 

[TheDreadLord]

The game already looks like a tv show, so I suppose that the transition to streaming will be pretty seamless. Its success will all depend on the acting quality which I think will probably be fine.

 

[Flutta]

Hope it flops and Drunkmann gets replaced with Starley. Best outcome for ND.

 

[MMaRsu]

Maybe one or two people will watch it

 

[Mibu no ookami]

I don't think it will be too big. Teaser has 8 mil views. They should be lucky if the get 1-2 mil.

It is now up to 10 million views. As I mentioned this will almost certainly land at 15 million plus.

That's already the 15th biggest video on HBO Max channel. It's probably surpassing the 15M this month. I don't se how these metrics are bad.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

1. Game of Thrones - 2.22m

6. Deadwood - 5.75m
7. House of Dragon - 9.99m

These look like US only numbers.

Spyxos 11.5 million

250K likes to 20K dislikes

House of the Dragon with 23 million views has 251K likes and 61K dislikes.

Fiddy.

 

[deriks]

Less than 10, but chances are that will become a legacy watch and will grow by the time.

I hope that this first season really capture the game, and I hope that the second season they fix what Naughty Dog made with Joel at the start

They won't lol. They might change the circumstances but the same thing will happen.

 

[deriks]

I'm happy if they postpone it

 

[ReBurn]

If I watch the show it will be once all of the episodes are on HBO Max. Most shows are binge or nothing for me.

 

[Mibu no ookami]

The trailer is now at 14 million views after 5 days. Will probably be in the top 5 by the end of the weekend and we'll see from there.

Outside shot that it ends up surpassing the House of Dragon trailer, but it might have a few life cycles between now and the launch and post launch

I think we're at that stage now.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

it doesn't matter.

is going to be a triumph of storytelling

and

disrespectful to the source material.

FIGHT!!!!

 

[Deerock71]

Pedro Pascal seems to have the Midas Touch (well...Wonder Woman '84 ehhhh...).

 

[ckaneo]

They arent gonna give out the numbers

 

[Mibu no ookami]

Pedro Pascal seems to have the Midas Touch (well...Wonder Woman '84 ehhhh...).

Awful movie and he was awful in it.

But anyone who saw him in Game of Thrones, The Mandalorian, or Narcos knows he is a legit actor.

He's really done well since Game of Thrones pushed him into the spotlight.

 

[Ronin_7]

30M per episode

 

[ManaByte]

It’s being advertised on the Xbox dash.

 

[MMaRsu]

I thought it was awesome!

 

[elcapitano]

Numbers wise I suspect it'll start relatively low and grow from there.

Maybe half of the House of the dragon opening if I was to guess

Nah it’s the opposite with highly marketed shows. Usually everyone checks out the first episode or two then drops off.
