That is the key point. A Lord of the Rings show is going to have a huge potential audience just on name alone. Just cracking the top 15 given th eamount of money they paid for the rights is not a success.

The Top-15 Streaming Originals was 13 Netflix shows and 2 Prime shows (The Boys and RoP).

The 2021 list was 12 Netflix shows, 1 Hulu show (The Handmaid's Tale), 1 Disney+ show (Wandavision), and 1 Apple show (Ted Lasso).

Making the top-15 at all is a success for any provider not named Netflix IMO.

Except all three seasons of Ted lasso probably cost the price of 1 RoP episode and didn't have the name recognition LOTR has. That's the context you're speaking in. ROP definitely flopped a bit all things considered
