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.
Wonerful show. Without a doubt the shiw should be renewed.
Love it !!! Need more !!!!please !
THIS SHOW HAS TO BE RENEWED , NO QUESTIONS ASKED. WE NEED A 2ND SEASON!!!!!!
Great tv show keep it
This is USA not wanting to take the blame for another uncertain show, If the viewers decide they are not at fault. What would the series hold, more betrayal problems just what they need, lets be real this is not a modern day romance, normal people would have divorced and gone there own way not with a madam or toy boy, mind you the toy boy would be nice if we could all afford them, we all make mistakes in life, get over it and move on to the next program
Yes, normal people divorce and move on but that is why it’s called “entertainment” it’s a not so normal get back together kind of storyline, 2 people trying to make their marriage work, it’s obvious they love each other they just lost the connection to one another. I hope they do another season, I like the storyline and I love Matt Passmore I think he is a fantastic actor, and the “boy toy” is great to look at. If some people compare it to pornography here’s a tip, don’t watch it.
I agree!!!
Such a great show. It deserves to stay on tv, I will be extremely disappointed if it is canceled.
I think if the Network is going to cancel it at least have like a 2-hour finale for those of us that like the show, I can’t stand when I get into a new show and when the season ends with a cliff hanger they cancel it, it’s no wonder shows get low ratings, it’s because no one wants to watch any new show that comes out because they know it will be cancelled, give the shows a chance or end it the right way. Just like they The Glades, that ended in a cliff hanger and then they cancel… Read more »
I totally agree. I was crushed when The Glades never came back. They need to at least have a movie or something to end the suspense!
I like this show very much! It’s very entertaining and has great characters!! I looked forward weekly to this tv show!! It was fun to watch with my husband. Evoked a lot of discussion that otherwise we might not of had. Season 2 please!!! !!
I loved it!! I would definitely watch the second season. Please bring it back , it was very entertaining. ..
Where does the show from here? Do they go into business together and open up a brothel? This show follows the same dead end theme as the U.S. Sub ordered to bomb another country and where a doctor’s family is held hostage while she kills the president. I say cancel.
I think it badly put together u let us thinking it only couple of weeks then u find it 6mth. She meets a man in club he puts his address in phone she go to his apartment not knowing if he kill her kick her—- she getting help but day dreaming moving him in n go to Paris and they living happy and and Neil n daughter r OK with get real and she said Neil cluely Grace will tie of Simon it just the sex he tell not to leave she said it was mistake n he tell then… Read more »
I liked it a lot, I wish for a second season…
Personally I loved the show…the cast was great..got a lot better as time went on
If it comes back, what will it be still problems with the marriage if that is the case get them to divorce, you can only go so far in something like this. It had its good points and they hit home. You have to understand when enough is enough. so I say no.
I like it it’s ok i like the glades better but if you be another season back I will watch it I like his personality better in the glades
