Top Drama Viewership Ratings: Aug. 3-9, 2020

Ah, some change this week! Always nice to see, especially when that change is positive. For instance, at the beginning of the week, The Good Detective made a big jump to 5.9 and 6.4 percent. I remember this timeslot struggling for the longest time, and it’s still struggling with its other shows, so numbers like these feel like a big win.

There was more change in the midweek slot, the majority not so positive. The numbers for three shows — Memorials, United Effort, and Was it Love — went down. Meanwhile, newcomer Flower of Evil went up to 3.7 percent. There’s always one outlier in these timeslots, and The Good Detective and Flower of Evil are certainly that.

The weekend slot was steady for quite a few weeks, but after two shows wrapped up, we finally got some good news. With their final episodes, both Backstreet Rookie and It’s Okay to Not Be Okay achieved their highest ratings. I definitely expected more from It’s Okay, considering its star power, but y’know… it’s okay.
