Both the shows were initially inundated with complaints about the race-swap and strong female leads, but the only one still hearing these complaints isRings of Power. Most fans are finding the characters inHouse of the Dragonmore relatable and interesting.
House of the Dragons towers with 29 million average viewers
The audience reviews have directly affected the show’s average viewership asHouse of the Dragonstarted out with 10 million viewers to now having averaged 29 million viewers per episode. As the person who wrote the lore, George R.R. Martin is directly involved with the series, many fans feel relieved.
On the other hand,The Rings of Powerseems to be struggling to satisfy its fans. It did start strong with 25 million viewers worldwide, but the real challenge comes with retention and its ability to bring in new viewers, which doesn’t seem likely.

One major criticism ofRings of Powersrepeated is that the show strays too much from Tolkien’s original world, making the original fans confused as to what to expect, whileHouse of the Dragonhas kept a good balance of references and stuck to the lore.
