While it failed to match the numbers posted by the October 12 season two premiere, let alone those routinely delivered during its inaugural season, FX’s “Fargo” posted week-over-week gains in adults 18-49 and total viewership.
Monday’s episode drew a 0.42 adults 18-49 rating with 1.209 million live+same-day viewers. Both numbers top those of the previous broadcast, which drew a series low 0.27 adults 18-49 rating and a series low 962,000 viewership sum.
Still critically acclaimed, “Fargo” has been a markedly weaker performer in season two. The aforementioned October 12 premiere, which ranks as the most-watched of the season’s three episodes, drew 1.588 million viewers.
That bests only one second season viewership total (1.515 million on May 27, 2014).
