HBO had a much better Sunday night after being drubbed by the Super Bowl.
“True Detective” season 4 finished with 980,000 viewers on the linear channel. HBO says that two million more came through other portals. But who knows?
The finale itself has come under criticism for having such a non event conclusion. Jodie Foster let the killers get away with it, and then there was some mystical stuff.
But that 980,000 was 250K higher than the week before the Super Bowl. It also suggests that when they show it again, more people may pay attention. The show will get Emmy nods galore, too.
At 10pm, Larry David and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” bounced back from the Super Bowl outing. The show is back to around 400,000 viewers linear, which I guess will be its average. The episode was 100 times better than than the first two set in Atlanta. It seemed more like “Curb” again although it was very raunchy.
I have no idea why Cheryl is still on the show. Who hangs out with their ex husband in social settings, mocking him? It’s bizarre. But if this is the final season, I guess everyone gets something. Let’s hope a brilliant plotline pops up soon to take us to the end. Sienna Miller — she was like a ray of sunlight. I loved it when she said, “Beshert.” (That’s Yiddish for meant-to-be.)
