By now, I have hundreds of episodes of various shows downloaded that I haven't seen yet. Since Teen Wolf, I basically live and breathe TW. Yup, the season was THAT good.
One thing I have noticed this year regarding shows in general and the newbies in particular: an INCREDIBLY SLOW START. Like snail pace and awful shipping and generally boring material that cost several shows their viewership. Look at...
Almost Human: canned.
Agents of SHIELD: it started with 4.0+ ratings and now it's down to 1.8! It will be renewed because ABC is a part of the Disney network - but how can you lose 2.0+ demo points within 20 episodes with a material like FRICKIN' MARVEL?
Tomorrow People: it started with 1.0 demo and its last episode of the season - and almost certainly of the series - was 0.4. But then, it was executed by Julie Plec, she of The Vampire Diaries fame who is a huge fan of love triangles, so instead of focusing on the action, ULTRA vs. the Tomorrow People, from the get-go, it was all about who slept with whom etc. SERIOUSLY?!
And it doesn't matter how good the show becomes around episode 16 or whenever when by then most of its audience has fled in boredom! See SGU as another - expensive - example of a catastrophic failure. But the execs are incorrigible. They make the same mistake again and again and again, like they have blinders on their eyes or something...
