Top Drama Viewership Ratings: July 6-12, 2020

So many new dramas to talk about! We had five — count ’em, FIVE — premieres this week, with ratings all across the board. First, we had rom-com Men Are Men and crime drama The Good Detective both come in with 3.9 percent. This number is considered low for the former but high for the latter (due to it being a cable show and cable generally having smaller audiences).

Then, midweek, we had the premiere of Was It Love, a rom-com with a very complicated love pentagon. It brought in 2.0 percent, so about the same as Mystic Pop-up Bar, the previous drama in this timeslot. Our last premieres were over the weekend, for thrillers Graceful Friends and Train. With It’s Okay and now these two, the weekend sure is full of dark shows.

So, looking at the chart, it seems like the best performing shows either have dark themes, like The Good Detective and It’s Okay, or family themes, like My Unfamiliar Family and Once Again. Which *shrugs* makes sense to me.
