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.
loved it. Renew it. We want more.
I love the show. I will be so upset if it doesn’t have a 2nd season. They just need to advertise it more. No one else I know has heard of it.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE renew the show. The writing is superb. Need to
advertise more. Keep Anika and Mateo . Its refreshing to see different actors and
actresses. Great Story line great show…go USA…
Keep it! You need to Advertise this show a lot more. Almost everyone I talk to has never heard of it. I found it on the third episode and went back to catch up. There were slow periods, but every show has them. Look forward to it being renewed
KEEP THIS SHOW PLEASE!
1. ADVERTISE – I “happened” upon it online. Never even heard of it on tv.
2. EXECS- If you want people to invest their time in your show – then you need to invest in the show. You can’t do that if you keep making 1 season and then move on to a new show.
Your mentality seems to be if it isn’t a major hit right away – dump it – instead of doing your job and promoting/investing your time and $$ properly. Do your job.
I love this show.. Please keep it going.. I don’t watch a lot of shows on the USA network but this show I watch every Thursday…
SATISFACTION – The morning after the Finale that wasn’t. No resolution – no conclusion – no finale. Just more of the same. The last ten weeks were a waste of time. Everything shown since July 17, could have been condensed into a single 1-hour show. If there is a second season, the first episode will be what the finale should have been last night … Neil or Grace or both get murdered by Mallory’s husband. Simon is the only supporting character that has contributed anything to the story. The plot is simply unrealistic and unbelievable. If it’s renewed, I won’t… Read more »
Entertainingly seductive. Out of the norm.
Please don’t cancel.
Great show, needs to continue.
Great love story, shows the trials and tribulations that go on in a marriage.
KEEP THE SHOW, IT’S VERY INTERESTING. THE PROBLEM WITH RATINGS IS , ADVERTISING , NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THE SHOW , ADVERTISE MORE.
Satisfacton is the most mature American network program dealing with the problem of fidelity in marriage. It should be renewed for another season.
Keep it! I wouldn’t mind if Anika’s story line disappeared, but otherwise it’s been fun to watch! Don’t leave us hanging now!!!
As a married man myself most think about doing this or having trouble in our relationships as well and can relate to it.. this show is awesome and needs to stay. It’s realistic, drama, well acted, great actors and actresses and way better than a soap opera. It relates to married couples like myself. Speaking that i have a beautiful wife and daughter just like it. it be a huge hit if it was on earlier.
I love the show….extreme ??? Not at all.
I enjoy the show very much….more please…..
Keep it, Renew it — if people watched past the 1st episode, they would see that it’s really a deeper love story, NOT a sordid soft-porn show. I think this show indicates that it takes much more courage to go THROUGH the experiences that makes us grow and keep families together vs. just running away and indulging in separations and divorce, that tear families apart. If this show is cancelled, either people gave up too soon – or people didn’t watch because they were afraid to face the deeper issues that are important for married people to face together and… Read more »
