The series "Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power" set an Amazon record

Amazon claims that the first episodes of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power were its biggest debut ever on the platform. And for the first time ever, Amazon Prime streaming has released accurate viewing statistics.
The company claims that 25 million subscribers worldwide watched Rings of Power on its first day of release (it debuted Thursday at 9 p.m. ET, 6 p.m. NST in the United States).
As for context, Prime Video officials declined to say exactly how the views were counted. Whether it was the number of people who watched at least a few minutes of the show, or who rated the episodes in their entirety. There's also no indication as to whether The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power had a better start than the previous record-breaker on Prime Video, including no clarification as to who owned the previous best achievement.
I am so grateful to the Tolkien Estate and our showrunners Patrick McKay, John D. Payne, executive producer Lindsay Weber, the cast and crew for their tireless collaborative efforts and boundless creative energy. And it's the tens of millions of fans watching us, obviously as passionate about Middle-earth as we are, that are our true measure of success," said Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke in a statement.

During this period, the Great Rings are created and the events that will predetermine everything that happened in the future take place. In the center of the plot of the show is the young elven princess Galadriel, who is only preparing to become a wise ruler. But before that, she has many feats to accomplish in the fight against evil.
