Bosch: Legacy’s Viewership Has Clearly Been High But Amazon Doesn’t Release Any Official Ratings And There’s A Reason For That
A television show doesn’t last over a decade if the ratings haven’t been high, andBoschandBosch: Legacyare perfect examples of that. Of course, it’s technically two shows, but the reason for that is allegedly becauseAmazon wanted to fire people and reset the pay scale. Anyway, in the early days of streaming,However, Amazon doesn’t make the exact ratings information public and there’s a very cynical reason for that.In an exclusive interview with Game Rant, Gregory Scott Cumminssummed up how things have changed over the years.
This whole business here of streaming is a whole different business model. We used to just have network TV and the majority of their revenue really comes from advertising. They’re going to make a lot of money, and it depends on the Nielsen ratings. They can see the viewers they get per show, and then they can show that to the advertisers, and then they pay for a 30-second commercial, and they know how much money they’re getting.
If Amazon shared their ratings with the wider world, it would be very easy for a counter-argument against the justification for cancelingBosch: Legacy. The fact thatAmazon canceledBosch: Legacybefore an episode of the third season even aired exposes their real intentions.They sneakily introduced ads via the backdoor withFreevee, which they subsequently closed down, after introducing them on the Prime Video platform.

We don’t have the numbers of how many people viewed it, how many of their members viewed it, and how many times it was viewed. They don’t open it up. Those are things we don’t know.
You can bet they’re sharing their numbers with their advertisers.
Amazon is most definitely doing this, so why not tell the fans what the viewing figures are for thefinal season ofBosch: Legacy? Let’s go back to the days when the Nielsen ratings were a thing, and the information was out there for everybody to see. Cancel, cover-up, PR spin, fan backlash.
