TLDR

Posts from several DC news accounts state that Lanterns landed at number 8 on Nielsen's acquired Top 10. They cite 500 million minutes viewed for the week of August 31 to September 6. Separate daily figures show 138 million minutes on one Monday, when the series ranked as the most watched streaming program in the United States. Some accounts note the total exceeds earlier Nielsen results for Peacemaker and The Penguin. One post adds that the show charted only after three episodes became available and still trailed Bluey and SpongeBob SquarePants.
