Clearly not Aussie viewers. It's currently reported Neighbours has been bumped from it's 4:30pm slot on 10 - held previously by B&B (The Bold & The Beautiful) - and shoved back to 4pm while B&B has returned to its 4:30pm slot. B&B is still out-rating Neighbours. That's embarrassing. Personally I just don't see the attraction in either program...both yawn-fests.
I watched the first week and that was enough. Nothing to grab my attention. Amazon haven't published a press release to say it's a big hit.
When 10 moves it 3 weeks in, that's a worry. Heck even Eldorado mostly stayed at 7pm despite their issues.
Wonder if Amazon will do a Julia Smith (see Eldorado, and at least she had the dignity to fall on her sword unlike Herbison) and fire the current executive producer and writer, so they can say they are trying to fix it, to get people to comeback a la Dynasty. After all, Amazon are funding it, and will want some return, given the marketing blitz.
Either that or do a Cracker by being daring and kill off one of the oldies like Karl, Susan or Paul (not Harold), to get people interested, regardless of what the diehard fans (NeighBens etc) think. I quote Cracker because Jimmy McGovern had the balls to bump off a main character, and what do Karl and Susan bring to the show nowadays except for nostalgia?
Or have a plane dropped on Lassiters, bumping off some characters.
