A lot of people don't really "watch TV" as much as "let the TV on so they can hear people talking in the room". It's maddening to me, but I know quite a few people who do that. From that perspective, you don't want The Witcher or Game of Thrones, because they're loud and scary and complex to follow.
- amyjess 3y agoThere are also a lot of people who like to leave the TV on at a low volume while they go to sleep, because it's close enough to white noise that it helps them sleep. I think nowadays people do that with Twitch streamers instead.

I guess I'm guilty of a variant of that, I always have something going on on the TV in my office at low volume, but it's never anything I have to pay the least bit of attention to (it's usually reruns of old TV shows, or multi-season stuff I've seen a zillion times on Hulu), and it's just background noise to break up the monotony. But I suspect such high numbers for that show means someone is actually watching. It was entertaining enough, but I'm just floored at it being #2 of all the shows they have
