USA Network TV series don’t earn the kind of Nielsen ratings we see from the broadcast networks. With a spin-off in the works, there are signs that the successful Suits series will end sooner rather than later, so the cabler could use another breakaway hit. Have they found it in Tony Tost’s Damnation TV show? Will it be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A 1930s USA period piece, the first season of Damnation stars Killian Scott, Logan Marshall-Green, Sarah Jones, Chasten Harmon, Melinda Page Hamilton, Christopher Heyerdahl, Joe Adler, Teach Grant, Dan Donohue, David Haysom, Arnold Pinnock, and Rohan Mead. The heartland labor drama centers on Seth Davenport (Scott). Although he poses as a small town Iowa preacher, he is actually an incognito labor agitator. Seth’s goal is to incite an all out revolt against the status quo. Little does he know a captain of industry has hired professional strikebreaker Creeley Turner (Marshall-Green) to squash the insurrection at any cost. What’s more, Davenport and Turner have a history — one that’s dark and bloody. **Status update below.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like the Damnation TV series? Should this USA Network TV show be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

Please renew….love it….or sell to Netflix.
Damn… nation! Love it!! Never miss an episode.
Awesome show love it. Can’t wait for week to week. WE actually saw the first episode while we were in Florida. We were walking through Hollywood Studios a person stopped us and asked us if we wanted to watch it we said sure. They gave us each a $50 gift card it was awesome and I was hoping that they were going to bring the show on and I am very hooked on the show it is awesome
It’s a keeper. Love the show, better than most theses days and nothing like it on right now.
Also love the series The Son. Miss Longmire.
Great show, plot, actors. Really enjoy period pieces. Christopher Heyerdahl does an outstanding job.
Please keep this show!
My husband and I really like this series. Hope it will continue to be aired:
Please please Please! This show grabbed me from the first episode and is the only show I watch as it’s premiered weekly rather than dvr it. Please give the viewers and the show a second season!!
Few series hold my attention. This one keeps me wanting more! Please let’s see more!
Well I’m loving it. I spy a Hell On Wheels alum on Damnation. Both shows were fantastic period dramas so I will definitely continue to watch.
Christopher Heyerdahl, the Swed, from Hell on Wheels. I think I like this part better. Not a nice guy in either part.
Great show . Complex characters and interesting period series. It will do great on Netflix.
So love it. Great twist and keeps u guessing.
I’m into it. It’s going to be my new show.
Too depressing cancel!
Just change the channel. Your option for your opinion. Don’t be such a control freak.
Sure, ignore the truth of how big business does “whatever it takes” for profit! If it’s too depressing watch Big Brother or one of the Kardashion grossouts.
