One week after the big premiere drops, and it looks like the shows are holding up nicely. At the beginning of the week, River made a quick ascent to double digits. Midweek, Sisyphus stayed strong around 6 percent, while Hello? It’s Me! struggled to hold onto its audience. Wednesday-Thursday dramas tend to fade in the background, especially if it’s a rom-com, but I’ll give Hello a few more weeks.
Naturally, our new weekend shows snatched all the high numbers. Penthouse and Vincenzo continued to rise, showing no sign of slowing down, and Beyond Evil made itself comfortable around 4 percent. Times is definitely the underdog here, but I’ve noticed that there’s always one weekend OCN show that just kind of lingers around 1 percent — I guess, right now, this is that show.
