This show ended when everyone joined forces as far as most are concerned.

That leaves Showtime with just Yellowjackets and The Chi. They have cancelled all the shows and axed a lot of the employees. Makes you wonder why they did not just sell at the $3 billion they were offered if they were basically just going to scrap the whole network? I like Yellowjackets but I doubt it was worth $3 billion on its own!

Shameless, Homeland, Weeds. They have been slowly going downhill but have always had at least one really solid show airing.

A great opening week for The Night Agent. Its 168,710,000 hours work out at the equivalent of 20.7 million complete viewings. That is the second best any show has done in equivalent complete viewings in a single week in 2023 so far. Only pipped by the 22.7 million achieved by You s4 Part 1 earlier in the year. Be interesting to see how The Night Agent holds in the coming weeks but it is definitely off to a great start. These numbers put the show on par with Netflix big hitters like Cobra Kai, Emily in Paris, and The Witcher and not far behind The Watcher from Ryan Murphy.
Shadow & Bone got 6.8 million (an increase of 9.7%) in its second week and is probably dead in the water. It is looking to end on around 18-19 million after 4 weeks and that is nowhere near the 30-35 million needed for big budget shows. It is a real shame as Shadow & Bone is an excellent adaptation of the books. Changes a few things while keeping the spirit of the story intact.
The Waco limited series had a decent start with 9 million.
You (7.5 million) and The Glory (6.4) million had solid third weeks. The Glory has been great in the numbers while You has still been strong despite a noticeable viewership fade between the first and second parts of s4.
Not much else to note. Sex/Life (24.5 million) and Wrong Side of the Tracks s2 (10.8 million) finished out their 4 week runs. A tad week for the Spanish language show but solid enough for Sex/Life s2. Probably not solid enough for a third season but definitely worth bringing back for a season 2 as it was solid and outperformed most of the new shows as well as Shadow & Bone!
It was pretty quiet openings for the other debut shows. Who Were We Running From (4.1 million), Invisible City s2 (3.2 million), and Murder in the Coalfield (2.6 million) all charted while only The Kingdom s2 missed with less than 1.6 million.
It is a quiet week next week in terms of new releases with just Rob Lowe comedy Unstable dropping so it will be another easy viewership win for The Night Agent again even if it drops hard (which I’m definitely not expecting to happen).

I just seriously hope they dont take another 2 years to release the next season. Theres no reason a show of this type takes as long as a season of Game of Thrones to make.
The first season was incredible but if it takes them 2 years to do a season, and they plan to do 5 seasons, I can see that not going well.

Damian Lewis was on one of the late night talk shows and he said he was coming back so maybe the spinoff is about him.

Guess they're running out of random pop culture references to awkwardly shoehorn into the dialogue.

The rating isn't very good, but every show deserves an end. This isn't fair, the show had some viewers for sure.

S&B season 2 had obvious story and pacing problems. The last couple episodes had characters running around with literally nothing to do. They could have figured out a way to get all the characters in the same place at the same time. There’s one whole plot/romance that not only doesn’t get resolved but it doesn’t even get set up for (a now less likely) second season. Not enough romantic tension and muddy motivations. I have a feeling they were too worried about sticking to the book but failed to tell a good story for tv. IMHO at least

This is a thriller tv show done right, with perfect pacing, decent acting, enough action scenes. Most thriller TV shows have no thrills, people keep talking and talking, not much happens to keep the viewers engaged.

It's good if you suspend belief a little. I've been enjoying it but I'm also a fan of the genre.

The 5 year plan is already a bit of a stretch but let's see what they do.

Global? Or just all the places with immigrants from India: the UK, Canada, and to a lesser degree, the USA?
