Three million viewers is still impressive for a cable show. However those who thought that the show would gain audience as it progressed appear to have been mistaken.
Predictable but unfortunate because the 2nd show was much better.
Keep in mind they’ll rerun this 500 times and people will happen upon it.
It might gain audience size later, but the first episode presented a lot of buzz and curiosity. Naturally, the viewing size will be large at the outset. But a 3 million viewership is a good showing nonetheless.
