To be honest, we were a bit surprised by the low rankings of Minority Report and the relatively low viewership of Quantico. Both shows were heavily touted through advertising and we would have expected to see some bigger numbers in both cases.
On the other side, Blindspot certainly skyrocketed to the top of this list quickly. The show did immediately pique curiosity with an ominous promotional run, so now the real test will be sustaining this initial success (we’re looking at you The Blacklist)
Stay tuned for more reports on these numbers as ratings continue to trickle in through the fall season. Check out our guide to streaming TV online here to see where you can stream all these fall TV hits and more online.
