There's talk of series 2 though? I was expecting it to cover the whole legend in one series. That's interesting.
Not even close. Season 2 is purely an origin story. This show seems like it was designed for a long, long run. I am not sure if it will actually get it though, with the lack of a positive critical response, which is more important to premium channels than ratings.
But they know the exact numbers. They don't need guestimates and calculated from statistical averages, Starz knows exactly how many million TV sets were recording Camelot or watching Camelot.
Critical review is secondary surely.
