They do care about total viewership. This is a solid start. If it holds up the next few weeks I can see them bringing it back again with another short season
I loved it. The fighting scene's were pretty well choreographed. I can't believe the got Sean Bean and blew him up in the first 3 minutes. He's definitely alive. I'm going to keep watching this. Hopefully it continues to get good viewership and gets a better rating.
