Showrunners- "We receive notes from people saying it brought their family back together"

Show runners pretend regular people on the street are randomly handing them "notes" to tell them the show brings families back together.

>We receive notes from people that you say, “Hey, I got together and watched this with my family, and we haven’t had a reason to get together for a while, but this brought us together on Friday night.” And they say, “We were all talking about it for hours afterwards.”

Pull the other one, mate. You've already insulted our intelligence with the writing on the show. As a wise man once said, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me.......you can't get fooled again."

Reminds me of when the Director of She Hulk claimed

"she was receiving voicemails from 9-year-olds begging to hear what happened next."

After saying about She-Hulk,

"We wanted to say, Look, she’s a woman in her 30s navigating modern life; sex is a part of that story, and [ask] how far could we go.”

And......

"it's sex-positive show that kids could also watch"

Now it's "notes" being handed to them by random strangers. Hollyweird man.

More delusion from the show runners and producers after the terrible news that only 37 percent of the US audience finished The Rings of Power season 1.

Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke has a different read on the situation. According to Salke, The Rings of Power has more than met the company’s expectations and is off to a very exciting start, with much more to come.

“This desire to paint the show as anything less than a success — it’s not reflective of any conversation I’m having internally,” Salke told THR, while promising a second season with “more dramatic story turns,” calling it “a huge opportunity for us. The first season required a lot of setting up.”

"it’s not reflective of any conversation I’m having"

Maybe nobody dare tell you it hasn't gone well for the most expensive TV show ever?

Or you cover your ears with your hands and scream whenever somebody tries to speak the reality into your ear?

Not insulting the fans may have helped. Especially by using the old Ghostbusters 2016/Star Wars combative marketing strategy where you go after the fans to drum up some news articles and controversy.

Hopefully this new audience you craved to replace the old fans will make the 2nd series a success! I doubt it.

2nd series and done. You're finished.

“Hey, I got together and watched this with my family, and we haven’t had a reason to get together for a while, but this brought us together on Friday night.” And they say, “We were all talking about it for hours afterwards.”

Yeah, it brought them together because they could talk about how shit it was.

- How shit the costumes were
- How shit the dialogue was
- How shit the casting was
- How shit the respect for source material was

"“This desire to paint the show as anything less than a success — it’s not reflective of any conversation I’m having internally,” Salke told THR"

This just shows how they are all living in a bubble of ignorance, and how the only way that people will stop getting dogshit is if they stop watching dogshit.

My thoughts exactly. It brings people together in the same way a funeral does.

Yeh, Tolkeins funeral, and the show runners are standing over his open grave pissing into it.
