It needs to be said constantly, Netflix isn't trying to be HBO. It's trying to replace television. And what do people like to watch on tv? Trashy reality shows.

Lockwood & Co. only featured for 3 weeks it doesn't look good for renewal.

Freeridge seems like it's going to be cancelled.

Not much to say this week. You was the only show that did real numbers. Its 64,060,000 hours worked out at 15.8 million equivalent complete viewings. That was a 30% drop from opening week. Season four is trending to be down 10%-20% from season three. Still a big success though! I’m expecting a big week three and four drop as we have seen that with Netflix shows in the past that have very short runtimes.

How did the debut show do? The Law According to Lidia Poet was the pick of the bunch with 5.9 million. Also charting were Red Rose (3.9 million), Full Swing (2.9 million), Ganglands (2.2 million), and In Love All Over Again (2.7 million). Missing the charts were The Upshaws Part 3 (less than 4.6 million), The Girl and the Astronaut (less than 2.1 million), Eva Lasting (less than 1.1 million), and Community Squad (less than 2.9 million). It was a bad week for debut shows with everything flopping except Lidia Poet.

The Snow Girl (22.6-24.8 million) and Lockwood & Co (13.9-16.5 million) finished their 4 week runs. The Snow Girl did solid numbers for a Spanish language miniseries. The numbers for Lockwood & Co are poor. It is almost certainly canceled. Fate: The Winx Saga (a similar British genre show) got axed for only managing 25 million in the same timeframe!

This was an awful week for viewership engagement at Netflix. The good news is that this is the last of the bad weeks. The next four weeks will be a lot healthier starting with the return of Outer Banks this week. After that it is Sex/Life, more You, and then Shadow& Bone. With a bit of help on the non-English side from Wrong Side of the Tracks and The Glory.

This coming week is super quiet outside of Outer Banks with only Triptych supporting it. I guess they are hoping folks check out the glut of lesser shows that got released last week!

I haven't watched it, seems like a play at MTVsAre You the One" which is IMO one of the best reality game shows on today.

It's a dating show fulled up exclusively by people from other Netflix shows.

I think in a way it shows how Netflix has become its own ecosystem. They don't need to do any advertising or even casting outside of Netflix now to make up a show a lot of people are going to watch.
