A prequel to HBO's wildly successful Game of Thrones, House of Dragons chronicles the outbreak of the Targaryen Civil War nearly 200 years ago. The show has won over audiences and critics alike with its strong writing, acting and some surprising narrative twists.
The Lord of the Rings is a prequel based on the beloved fantasy novel by Tolkien and . The story takes place thousands of years before the film version of The Lord of the Rings. Although The Lord of the Rings and The Dragon Family are similar in subject matter, the rest have little in common. Interestingly, since both shows are being released on streaming media, the algorithm for ratings is actually very complicated. Even so, both dramas have achieved great success in the ratings.
In an interview with The Wrap, the producer of "Dragon Family" talked about the ratings competition between the two shows. Although there is no specific data to comment, he said that the audience of the two TV series should overlap. This is a good thing for fantasy themes.
said to the 'Dragon Family' producer: "I've read The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion and The Hobbit so many times, I've watched Peter Jackson so many times in the cinema 's movies. I love all of these things, I love high fantasy, and frankly I want to live in a world where there is room for all of these things, if they're good. I think there needs to be more production on TV Well-made, expensive sci-fi/fantasy, which is what we nerds want. I think people who watch Lord of the Rings watch Dragons as well. I think the higher the quality of TV entertainment, the better It appeals to the general public who don't really want to watch dramas."
Although "Lord of the Rings" and "Dragon Family" are both fantasy genres, the two shows are fundamentally different. "The Lord of the Rings" is a work of no age, about the heroic deeds of ordinary people, and the epic quests. The Dragon Family, on the other hand, tells the story of a family's struggle for the Iron Throne. Both dramas have their own characteristics in terms of story.
As the screenwriter said, the audiences of the two dramas largely overlap. Both "Dragon Family" and "Lord of the Rings" have something different for the audience. While the rise of streaming makes it harder to get more accurate wanted ratings, it's not the most important thing either. According to the producer of "Dragon Family", it is best to hope that the two dramas will succeed. Because, "Dragon Family" and "Lord of the Rings" can be said to be representatives of fantasy dramas. In any case, for fans of fantasy dramas, it is still very happy to see these two major dramas released almost simultaneously on the small screen.
