We are now reporting on households (accounts) that chose to watch a given title.
ForThe Witcher, that record-breaking figure constitutes 76 million accounts that watched at least two minutes of the show.
Some may have watched further, others may have stopped at just two minutes.

In short, this is closer to tracking stats for Internet content.
This,as EW previously laid out, is vastly different to how Nielsen records data for television shows.
