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, renew, I love the series. One series my boyfriend and I watch together.

I absolutely love the show Satisfaction and want more series. Please air it again.
Renew please, great show, from South Africa
renew!!!! just starting to get into it, give it a chance!
I think the show should be cancelled due to the fact that it just encourages infidelity, demonstrating that it’s an “in” thing to do. TV has gotten so shallow, lately. “Rush”, being one example.
What’s so great about infidelity? Why is it so cool to watch? I don’t get it. Watchers should be ashamed.
I really got into it waiting to see what happens next is she going to continue cheating on Neil or not or is she going to go with her lover can not wait to find out is the scenes going to get steamer ???? please do not make the mistake of canceling please renew Satisfaction
Renew Satisfaction!!!! Loved this show!
RENEW! I love watching this show. look forward to it every week.
Don’t make a mistake like other shows you have cancel. You have to gamble in life and this show will become one of the best. The season ended at a good time living spectators to keep watching it. Satisfaction is a new and original drama that no other network have. If the show is not doing good is not the show is you USAdrama!!!
Rush cancelled and Satisfaction renewed…don’t understand USA…renewing Royal Pains and canceling Burn Notice…not watching USA as much as I did in the past when it was my favorite Newtwork!!
Renew!!!. I would love to see a second season!. My boyfriend even got interested in it, and that means you’re doing something right because he normally doesn’t watch shows like that!. Season 2!!
