They lost a third of their views in both categories (demo and total) from season 1 to 2.Really hope that AMC gives them a third season, but it doesn't look good. Apparently the ratings have just gone from bad to worse.
Season 2 was great, though, and I love the way it ended.
I would guess that most of the people interested in this show are techies, either past or present. If that's true, there are a lot of ways the story is pure bullshit. The computer "virus" that can run on and infect any computer is just one example of that. The idea that owning a mainframe somehow lets you run a national network is another.
But I think most people can overlook crap like that. The real issue is whether or not the story is any good and personally, it felt to me like they were flailing around all season. The finale was a perfect example of that - who really believed the story that moving to California was really going to fix anything or that everyone in Mutiny was just going to pack up and get on a plane? The entire season was an example of sloppy writing and doesn't even come close to the quality of the first season, which btw was no Emmy winner either but at least it had some direction and believable drama.
