Hollowmen : barely making Top 50 in ratings

Ouch. Didn’t like reading the reports in yesterdays Green Guide (page 14) that ABC TV’s The Hollowmen was “slipping in appeal” and was “No. 54 in Melbourne”….and “No. 68 Nationally”.  I wonder why. Is it too clever by half? Are people finding the storylines somehow predictable? Are the characters actions also predictable?  Too limited appeal? Bad timing with a (relatively) new government in power?

All these questions. I’m sure that someone is doing the qualative analysis. Particularly when the ABC had agreed to Series 2 before the first episode of Series 1 even went to air.
