Not OP but, Variety Article of top shows/movies 2022.

I think the asterisk that OP didn't include is the list they're referring to is the 2022 ORIGINAL List, not overall. But still...

And the other bit they missed is HoD has more total viewers as the streaming list only tracks streams not total views between HBO and Max

While true, I find the comparison between HotD & RoP mute. At least for the current conversation. The success of one doesn't mean the other is unsuccessful. HotD having more views doesn't magically make RoP unprofitable for Amazon.

And the only measure of success Amazon & HBO really care about is the number of subscriptions each show bring. Which both claim are on the road to profitability.

Obviously, HotD won as the internets preferred show. But that doesn't inherently mean RoP is unsuccessful.
