The actual reviews the audience are giving the show aren't impressive at all (7.4 rating on IMDb, 72 audience score on rotten tomatoes, 3.5 on Amazon itself).
I don’t disagree that its probably not really true that it’s as popular as they’re implying (“#1 show in the world!” yet I can’t find anyone else I know whose watched it). But, that said, these reviews aren’t really accurate either. Amazon had 8,000 1 star reviews complaining about characters being black before the first episode had even been out long enough to be watched.

Popping up all over my feeds from friends and family who are not fantasy people at all.
Several I have seen were raving about it and I can’t believe they would ever watch this.

So did the Witcher when Triss wasn't a white redhead and most the characters were diverse POC. Didn't stop every first season episode but one being rated 8.3 or higher on IMDB. WOT has poor episode ratings because the normal people aren't rating it well, not because of serial downvoter types. The episode ratings are going further down as time goes on as well, not upwards.
And honestly I believe they are having great streaming numbers like they say, the show had a ton of hype, there isn't a ton else on right now, and we have holiday breaks as well. And it is only 8 episodes long, so once someone watches the first 3 episodes they likely will finish it.
But there is a huge difference between finishing the season and thinking it was good, or coming back for season 2.
