I don't think it did particularly well in ratings (read recently that episode 48 was again like the lowest rated episode ever, though I didn't make any effort to confirm that one way or the other) but I'm pretty sure just about every recent show has set that kind of record regardless. Ratings aren't everything and it feels like this go around in particular they were really pushing TTFC more with the shorts and stuff, so who knows how much of an audience there is in streaming now vs. TV.

Social media engagement seems solid, movies didn't underperform or anything (think Forever did really well though that's also got Build and Den-O money going into it). So who knows. Popular enough I guess?
