Right i'll come clean, this is my favourite show for years. I think it's the best Sci-fi show that's existed since Westworld S1 and with all the new mysteries that keep cropping up i'm going to be genuinely devastated if the show doesn't get the full 5 seasons. We all know it's good enough, but that doesn't seem to mean shit anymore... heck even The Expanse almost got cancelled and that's considered one of the best for years.

What are the viewing numbers like ? And what in particular are the criteria HBO would be looking at to renew the show, is it just viewing figures?

The show is brilliant for someone like me who loves freaky shit but I can easily see how it wouldn't necessarily be everyone's cup of tea... I just pray we get to complete the story because idk about you guys but I am HOOKED, this season has been absolutely incredible so far and I look forward to it every week.
