Wait, you stopped watching the show? Then why are you here wasting your time? The season average is more important. Starting with S1 they are 1.75, 1.69, 1.98, and 1.61. If the numbers stay at that 1.5 level, it's fine. Maybe the show lost the casual viewers and these numbers are the core fanbase, who knows? The second episode only had 1.1 million viewers, which is the lowest rated show in it's history, but it wasn't on it's usual night. That 1.1 are serious fans. We'll see what happens.
