AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. Season Finale Ratings Hit Series Low; THE FLASH Stays Strong
Last night's ratings are in and it looks like The Flash's penultimate episode sped up to edge out the two-hour second season finale of Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., which hit a series low! What's this say for the series going forward? Come check it out!
Even though, last night's two-hour season finale of Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. was met with mostly positive reviews, it doesn't look like viewers were that inclined to tune in.
After using the release of Marvel's Avengers: Age Of Ultron to help put up respectable numbers in recent weeks, the show's second season ended on a fairly weak note with its lowest ratings ever. The series stumbled to a series low 1.3 rating/4 share with adults 18-49 and around 4.0 million viewers overall. This is surprising to say the least, especially with no major competition on and after it had averaged at least a 1.5 or 1.6 for the last five episodes. Last night's ratings were also about a 30% drop from the first season finale. The ABC drama typically performs well in DVR playback, so expect the numbers to go up slightly in the coming days.
In the grand scheme of things, its declining ratings likely won't mean too much right now as the show has already been renewed for a third season and will likely continue to generate some interest as Captain America: Civil War swiftly approaches, although if its past irrelevance to the MCU is any indication, the show will likely play an extremely minimal role in setting up that juggernaut of a film. The lower ratings do however make you wonder how many viewers will come back to the show when it returns in the fall.
In other news, The Flash remained a very strong performer for The CW as the penultimate episode of its freshman season edged out the AOS finale by drawing a 1.4/5 in 18-49 and 3.5 million viewers overall. iZombie, which directly competed with S.H.I.E.L.D's first hour, also saw a strong performance for the network with an 0.7/2 in 18-49 and 1.8 million viewers overall.
