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.
I love the show. I would like to see the actors go deeper into plot to renew their deeper side of their relationship!!!!! I do want to see the show renewed!!!! You see more than what they are showing in this. Tv program on tv now
Love the show.
Cancel. For the life of me I dont see what people like about this show.
renew!
Keep it!! It is beautifully written and acted! Totally unique as well. Bring it back and give it time to build the right audience. This is pretty sophisticated programming for USA. Love the show and I will definitely speak highly of it to anyone and everyone. Keep it coming!!
Passmore shines in this mature, realistic characterization of marriage and the fallacies within. No other television program before has articulated the sensitive subject contained in this succinctly written drama. I hope USA possesses the foresight to further develop this franchise and not be likened to that of the premature cancelation of an Arrested Development type of groundbreaking television.
Season 2!!!!!!
I love this show, can’t wait till next week to watch!! Pleas3e don’t cancel!!
LOVE this show! Haven`t missed one and tonight was excellent. Keep this show on the air.
My husband and I love it! We have not missed an episode. We look forward to it every Thursday. Hoping for a second season, especially after that awesome season finale! !!!
My wife and I really got into the show. We don’t want to see it end and look forward to next season. I think the show is compelling and well written. Matt Passmore is a great actor and the season has definitely gotten better. I knew the season finale would be a cliff hanger and hope they continues for season 2.
This show is unique. A show that I truly believe will generate more popularity in season 2. I do have a biased opinion because I have watched each episode atleast twice. As a 24 year old male, this show intrigues me and leaves me with many questions. Questions that make me watch each new episode. I really hope the producers and execs move forward with season 2 because I will definitely be watching.
USA RENEW…USA RENEW!!! Please don’t leave us hanging…Satisfaction is the best show since on USA since Burn Notice!!! Great cast…great plot…great message!!! Please renew SATISFACTION!!!!
