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.
Please don’t let poor Matt get knocked off again like he did in The Glades! Let him survive this time!!
RENEW! Love it
please renew this show, i like it as much as some of the great HBO and Showtime series. I am looking forward to season two!
Please do not cancel the show!! I love it and look forward to watching it every week.
Love satisfaction!! The cliffhanger at the end got us wondering about the second season.
My husband and I love this show! Please don’t cancel it!
Please renew satisfaction, Matt was on Glades it was cancelled. I watched all want to continue.
Satisfaction and Rush are currently the only shows I look forward to- both are a great fictional escape. I am very much looking forward to another season!!!
Please renew this show….It is great!
While the season finale was a huge disappointment in many ways, I really hope this show continues! Please do NOT cancel this show. The acting is good and the plot twists enough to keep you guessing! Very entertaining! This could be any family’s situation very easily. Commitment is still there but communication has faded badly.
Please renew. Love this show so much.
There will always be negative people who can’t turn the channel when they see something that doesn’t interest them and ruins it for those who do enjoy. I think the show has some merit for a second season. I rather enjoy the twists, while I haven’t been to an escort I still face marital problems. What this show goes is beyond just the sex… a lot of love and family life as well. Sex just spices things up.. Personally I would love to see a second season.. as a viewer I hate investing time and energy myself into something that… Read more »
I totally agree with you!
why would you want another season of the same thing, marriage is a work in progress, we all have problems. may be we should all try jumping in bed with others and get paid or pay them, I enjoyed the show but what did we learn that we did not all ready know, some of the actors were in the wrong roles, that did not help, but betrayal is betrayal it does not matter who started it, if you can not talk to each other and find out what went wrong then there is no hope, after all it is… Read more »
