No judgments, but did you binge all eight episodes of as soon as they [[link]] dropped? I showed a lot of restraint by watching four episodes one day and four more episodes the next day, but I know certain members of PC Gamer watched the entire season in a single session.
We're not alone in jetting through the Fallout show, either: according to Amazon, 65 million people watched the show in the first 16 days of its release, which began when all eight episodes became available on April 10. That's a lot of pairs of irradiated eyeballs making Fallout the second-most watched show ever on Prime, following The Lords of the Rings: The Rings of Power which aired in 2022.
According to , which has access to a press release I was never sent (I'm not mad, I'm just saying), Fallout is Amazon's most-watched show ever among people aged 18-34 (I just missed that cutoff because I am 35, as far as you know). It was also especially a hit in Brazil, France, and the UK—60% of viewers came from outside the US. In other words, if you're an advertiser and you'd like to sell some Nuka Cola or YumYum Devilled [[link]] Eggs to young people in those countries, I think you know .
Advertising opportunities aside, 65 million is a heck of a lot of people all watching the same show—though I caution you to take those numbers with a heavy dose of a chem called Grain-O-Salt because I'm still pretty foggy about how these streaming services calculate their viewers.
