How Does Amazon Gauge if The Rings Of Power is a Hit or a Bust? (w/ Guest Andrew Fried)

The Lord Of the Rings: The Rings of Power did very well for Amazon Prime. The ratings were good, great even, but how does Amazon make money off of a show that cost 50 million per episode? Is it just Prime subscriptions? What measures that success? We discuss that and more with producer extrodinare Andrew Fried. Even if you don't know his name, you def know one of the many things he has been responsoble for in creating and producing. With such hits such as Chef's Table, Cheer, Val, Last Chance U, We Need to Talk about Cosby and his most recent, Welcome To Wrexham. Andrew talks about getting started, how Wrexham came to be, being in the dumps and bouncing back to create a mega company in Boardwalk Pictures.
