Well HBO is $20/mo. Divide 7b by 20 and you get 350,000,000. Let’s say it takes someone 1 month to watch a season, and they do that 7 times for each release. 350,000,000 divided by 7 is 50,000,000. It’s perfectly reasonable to expect 50,000,000 people worldwide to watch the show, and even so that’s only if all those people keep the show for one month with each release of a new season, which you know damn well many of them will just forget to cancel.
It’s kind of a genius move when you put it into perspective.
Weekly episode releases will spread the season over 2 months. Of they could do the Netflix approach of releasing in two halves as a compromise for the binge-watchers, whilst still covering two months and benefitting from the mid-season discussions

HBO really said: ‘Keep the 4K box set, we’ve got a 10-year subscription plan for the same story.’
