Airing on USA Network, Satisfaction has certainly attracted a lot of distinct opinions. Some love the series and want a second season while others liken it to pornography and feel it should be cancelled as soon as possible. Most importantly to USA though is, how’s it been doing in the ratings?
On Satisfaction, a successful married man (Matt Passmore) has his world turned upside down when he discovers that his wife (Stephanie Szostak) of 18 years has hired a professional lover (Blair Redford). Through a series of events, he ends up deciding to try the escort business for himself. Others in the cast include Michelle DeShon and Katherine LaNasa.
The show debuted on July 17th to 1.7 million viewers and a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic. Compared to other shows on USA, this was not a great start.
The ratings dropped in later weeks but have also rebounded a bit as well. To date, the season is averaging 1.4 million viewers with a 0.4 demo rating.
Satisfaction is one of the lowest-rated shows on USA right now — and the cable channel is having a lot of problems in the ratings department. All of their older shows are way down year-to-year.
While that fact might improve Satisfaction’s chance of survival, I suspect the execs will cancel the series and put their time and energy into launching another new show.
But, what do you think? Do you like Satisfaction on USA? Should it be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
10/2 update: USA has renewed Satisfaction for a second season.
Love the show ! Don’t cancel!
Love this show. Compelling, unique , fresh, grown-up. I hope usa keeps this, as it’s one of the few shows written with a believable plot. At least. I hope that we get some answers for the cliffhanger season finale.
please don’t cancel the show. love it! very modern and very real.
Don’t cancel!!! Absolutely love the show.
I love this SHOW!!! Need a season 2!!!
Passmore is such an excellent actor and enjoy whatever show he acts in. It would be nice to continue to season 2 and see what happens after everyone knows what is going on?? That’s the true grit rather than cancelling???
I agree wholeheartedly!! I loved him in The Glades and was thrilled when I saw Satisfaction with him. I love the show and hope there is a season 2!!!
If it is going to stay for season 2 they need to have more realistic & true to life scenes. When is the last time you heard of a man looking through a window and seeing his wife of 18 years having sex with another man and just walk away without confronting them. New start up shows need some powerful scenes to keep viewers watching and talking about it.
I love this show! Please do not cancel it! I looked forward to this show. Let’s face it, every other show is the same outcome. This show leaves you in suspense! So many twists!
Loved it!! Better be a Season 2!!!
I want a season 2!
LOVE THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!! They really need to continue it.
My husband and I hope Satisfaction returns for season 2. We looked forward to each episode. And wow. Terrible way to end the plot. WHAT HAPPENED! As is Glades, Matt Passmore is left “hanging” in the final episode. Please renew.
I really like the show and hope it gets renewed.
Love this show and hoping it’s renewed for season 2
Really liked the show! Hope it’s not cancelled but if you decide to cancel please produce a few more shows to finish the damn plot.
