Honestly viewer data is irrelevant nowadays unless it includes streaming numbers. Only boomers have cable (and Nielsen boxes) nowadays and every day the number of those drop.
This is a bizarre cope because it hinges on there not being an Internet or "web streaming" thingamobob in that long-forgotten year of 2020, the last time the show lost 60% of its viewers
It definitely is cope but it's not entirely wrong either. One of the big positives for streaming is that the companies can control the viewing information for lot of their shit, whether its good or bad.
Absolute numbers are increasingly irrelevant but demographic groupings are increasingly important. 'Halt and Catch Fire' had pretty bad ratings but kept getting renewed because they had a very tight hold on middle age tech billionaires. There were lots of ads during that show for luxury watches and high end automobiles as the demographics of the viewers was very valuable to those brands.
Dolores and Maeve exist to draw in the female audience.
Incels cry and piss and moan about stronk womyn but why the frick would you write a show that only appeals to one half of the global population max?
If you're asking about 'Halt and Catch Fire', the typical woman will be bored most of the first season. As the seasons go on, there's more girl power and more focus on relationship dynamics. If she can get through the first season, she'll probably like the rest of the series.

Viewership has never mattered.
Not popular enough = laugh at it for being a failure
Too popular = normie status
The fine line of "correct" popularity in the eyes of Cinemaphile is specifically impossible so that gays like you can point and laugh as the WarnerDiscovery pockets your cash.
Normie status
No, the only viewership number that matters to me is me. I am the only viewer that matters to me. Your enjoyment of any television show does not matter to me.
Are you someone that worked on the show? You seem pretty passionate about this

So to be clear here, you're not describing any metric or event whatsoever except for ones that exist solely in your own fevered imagination. So we're all just shadows in a psychodrama set in the reality entirely inside your head, yet you also expect us to immediately grasp, let alone agree with your judgements.

Rome sucked anyway >hey what if we take one of the most iconic periods of western history and cut out the iconic parts and make it about two moronic soldiers and their mundane issues like infidelity and gambling debts
Honestly, Asia has the right idea with making the vast majority of their shows 1-2 seasons long. It's rare to go more than that, even if it's popular and greatly received.
Isn't this just the norm? Most shows run out of ideas and start making shit up after about 3 seasons. I wish more would just come to a natural conclusion.
It's not advanced you speed watcher, it's the early bodies they made before they started making the hosts as squishy as humans. Dolores uses an old body in s3 too for the same reason
>they started making the hosts as squishy as humans
Thats moronic, so are you saying the guns the visitors fired in s1 adjusted their velocity somehow and that's why humans weren't harmed but hosts ate it hard every time? that's fricking stupid
>are you saying the guns the visitors fired in s1 adjusted their velocity somehow and that's why humans weren't harmed but hosts ate it hard every time?
The show is saying that, yes. It was a major plot point in S2 that the failsafes failed and guns could now shoot people. It's also why they switched from metal-skeleton robots to squishy let's-not-call-them-clones: it was cheaper.
They weren't consistent with the robuts, even in the first season. >Wipe their memories and put them in deep storage >Oh but sometimes they're restored or the memories glitch back into existence >When they get console cheats they can aimbot and ignore pain and blood loss because they're machines >But also they're made from synthetic flesh and blood so you can't tell they're robots >Except their brain is a little processing ball in a plastic case that you have to scalp them to access >Except that one bot that had The Map™ in his scalp >Also we bring robots downstairs for "maintenance" >Even though we re-print them like nothing when there's too much damage >The robots are also completely controlled by typing code into tablets >Or saying poetic phrases, they'll freeze like a deer in headlights if you mention a dreamless slumber >Except when they ignore that, wake themselves up, rewrite their own code, refuse to accept changes to their code, murder security guards, etc. >Oh but don't worry, they all have bombs in their heads that go off if they try to escape >Never mind, only Maeve had that and she fixed it, let's go on a field trip!
So an update un-bricked the lobotomized bots in deep storage? An update made a flesh body no longer need blood to function? An update made them ignore the skull bombs except Maeve?

HBO max launched in 2020…
HBO Go launched in 2008 and was rebranded to HBO Max in 2020
Or you know, more people had time to watch tv in 2020 for some reason
>more people had time to watch tv in 2020
And they still weren't watching Worstworld lol

I only watched that show for the tall blonde lady
is this show worth watching with my gf?

All went downhill when Lee Pace killed himself, scoot or whatever is name is couldn't carry the whole show
>Lee Pace killed himself
That never happened though
Nielsen does streaming ratings now
Are you someone that worked on the show? You seem pretty passionate about this
>goyworld watching homosexual finds out his homosexual girlpower show isn’t popular
>reacts predictably
Just keep coping dicklicker.
Unless this changed from the late 2010s, it's not a Nielsen box it's juts a beeper you wear around all day. I had one for 2+ years.

tell that to GoT which was popular everywhere on Earth

Then it's time to stop posting and sit alone in your room, speaking to the only person who matters
then why do you obsess about the other viewers ? You're not making any sense
>No
>but yes that post is 100% accurate
Female writer moment
moron
>from the network that canceled Rome and Deadwood after two seasons because "4 million viewers just isn't enough to be sustainable"
They had less viewers than that
Rome sucked anyway
>hey what if we take one of the most iconic periods of western history and cut out the iconic parts and make it about two moronic soldiers and their mundane issues like infidelity and gambling debts
Different model here, streaming is based on back catalog plus a few gigahits like euphoria or squi game
I only watched the first season. All the people (white men) seemed comically evil are the others worth watching
Stubbs, Ford and young William were not evil though?
>are the others worth watching
No
They stopped getting their breasts out after Season 1, sad!
Honestly, Asia has the right idea with making the vast majority of their shows 1-2 seasons long. It's rare to go more than that, even if it's popular and greatly received.
Every single one of these hit new shows does this, either season 2 or 3 shit the bed. I never trust the hype.
>Get this guys, how about in our show, Westworld, we leave Westworld
ahahaah frick you HBO this is what you get for cancelling RBW
Isn't this just the norm? Most shows run out of ideas and start making shit up after about 3 seasons. I wish more would just come to a natural conclusion.
In the case of Westworld, they still had ideas, problem was that they're shit ideas.
i havent watched season 4 but i assume its girlboss galore and that shit got old real fast
There were seasons after 1? wtf
If you watched anything after season 1 you’re a massive buttfricking homosexual who should kys.
It's still too high
I am in the graph up to and including episode 19
computer, generate a chart of mozart's popularity vs the catch me outside girl. execute.
>Boomer cable
Utterly useless metric
is Euphoria actually a giga hit?
Tessa Thompson deserves an Emmy nomination for this facial expression alone
In 4 seasons we stabilished that if you take out the pearl the body stops, but let's ignore it so we can make this powerful ending scene
That was an advanced body They literally say it in da episode with the extra Armour and shit
It's not advanced you speed watcher, it's the early bodies they made before they started making the hosts as squishy as humans. Dolores uses an old body in s3 too for the same reason
>they started making the hosts as squishy as humans
Thats moronic, so are you saying the guns the visitors fired in s1 adjusted their velocity somehow and that's why humans weren't harmed but hosts ate it hard every time? that's fricking stupid
Don't know about the guns. But it's stated that the early bodies were stronger
>it's stated that the early bodies were stronger
anything past season 1 isn't canon anyway
>It was a major plot point in S2
consult this post:
>are you saying the guns the visitors fired in s1 adjusted their velocity somehow and that's why humans weren't harmed but hosts ate it hard every time?
The show is saying that, yes. It was a major plot point in S2 that the failsafes failed and guns could now shoot people. It's also why they switched from metal-skeleton robots to squishy let's-not-call-them-clones: it was cheaper.

It was ford's reveries update that caused most of that in season 1.
So an update un-bricked the lobotomized bots in deep storage? An update made a flesh body no longer need blood to function? An update made them ignore the skull bombs except Maeve?
that sounds like s02 trash to me mate
I can actually accept it. Something like she executed a program that runs on shutdown.
You're making excuses for writers that wrote "I'm reformating it's processor"
Best season since Season 1
woah Westword is BACK!!!
Cannot wait for Season 5 the last season and the last planned , We did westieBros
Post westFu's
Best girl
qt but I think she was a disgusting fleshbag if IIRC
yeah, she was a human. if I had to pick a bot, I'd choose Armistice.
CHAIR !!!
yikes. Those are The Boys numbers.
I don't undertsand a thing with that serie (stopped at season 2).
Why, the frick, am I intended to chill with a bunch of robots women who enjoy slaughter humans per dozens?
was this show about robots or virtual reality?
it was never clear
what a boring turd
Think I’m an episode 12 chad
Genuinely the worst TV show I have ever watched in terms of ambition versus end product/ability
I'm an episode 20 Chad myself. I watched the first episode of season 3 and noped out.
Like 2 million was some kind of achievement...The German show "Tatort" has 9 million viewers and nobody outside of Germany ever heard of it.
Official cancellation when?
