  3. Makes me curious as to why Handmaid’s Tale can’t attract significant overnight audiences, is it just competition or that people don’t like watching SBS live for some reason?

    For example, Good Doctor 1m in overnight but Handmaid’s Tale barely 200k yet extremely close in tiemshifting!

    1. I tried to watch it but after the 1st episode the dialogue was enough to put me off and I don’t really see the fascination. It is a bit like killing eve it started out well and then it appears they replaced the writers and it fell into a confusing mess!

    2. It’s good, but a bit of a slog – I think it’s the kind of thing that’s best watched when you feel receptive to it, not on a fixed TV schedule. Which has always been the advantage of timeshifting dating back to the VCR days, but made a heck of a lot easier by the advent of proper PVRs (and why the commercial networks fought them tooth and nail…)

      It’s also the competitive advantage of streaming platforms. You can see Hulu/Netflix/Amazon/etc are trying more and more programmes that reward that sort of watching – whether it be bingeing a few eps / whole series, waiting until you feel like it, etc.

      The surprising thing to me is the number of formulaic, self-contained episode titles in David’s list. You wouldn’t notice missing an episode or 10 of The Good Doctor, Young Sheldon, or NCIS – but they’re up there in timeshifting. Go figure…

  4. The Good Doctor debut season has been nothing short of a television phenomenon in Australia. I hope we can see more disabled characters on television show given audiences clearly want to see them. Do any live in Erinsborough, Summer Bay other communities? Or are they erased from existence there?

    2. What research says viewers want to see more people with disabilities? Im writing a uni arcticle and would love access to the research to support this comment.
