Ratings Review: BALLERS (Season One)

The first year HBO series, BALLERS, did surprisingly well in its first season. It held a very good portion of its TRUE DETECTIVE lead in and did not waiver once that series concluded its season, a few weeks before the BALLERS finale. HBO may have found series that can give viewers a few good season of entertainment, during the summer.

BALLERS Live+SD ratings averages are 1.70 million viewers, a 0.7 rating in Adults 18-34, a 0.9 rating in Adults 18-49 and a 1.0 rating in Adults 25-54. Pretty good numbers for a summer scripted series.

The Live+3 ratings brought added about 800,000 viewers and grew the A18-49 demo by 0.4 points. The Live+7 ratings brought the total averages to 2.8 million viewers (+65%) and 1.5 rating (+67%) in Adults 18-49.
