Primetime Cable Ratings: June 21, 2015

HBO was the hot channel of Sunday night, with all three premieres making the top 15 chart. Season two of TRUE DETECTIVE was the top show of the night, grabbing 3.2 million viewers and a 1.4 rating in Adults 18-49. That is up 1.9 million in total viewers and 40% in the demo, from last year's series premiere, back in January of 2014.

Following TRUE DETECTIVE on HBO was the series premiere of BALLERS, staring "The Rock." Drawing 2.2 million viewers and a 1.1 demo rating, it held just 68% of the total viewers and 78% of the demo, from its lead in. Last week's season finale of SILICON VALLEY pulled in similar ratings, with a much better lead in.

Closing out the night, for HBO, was the new series THE BRINK. Ranking 14th on the night, the Tim Robins.Jack Black series collected 1.6 million viewers and a 0.7 demo rating. That is a far cry better than the 1.1 million viewers VEEP drew last week, for a season finale.
