Fresh statistics show that in the first week of the premiere, the first three episodes of the second season of the series The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power collected more than 764 million minutes of views.
This figure slightly exceeds the achievement of the fourth season of the series The Boys, which collected 744 million minutes during the same period. Although a more impressive result was expected from the continuation of the story about the Second Age of Middle-earth: the first season of the show has a result twice as good.
And the dark-skinned elves and female orcs, about whom there was not a word in Tolkien's tales, are definitely to blame for everything.
