Roughly six weeks after its premiere, Made For Love has a higher audience demand number than all but four of HBO Max’s shows. When it comes to non-children’s shows that are either renewed or are eligible to be renewed, it has the third-highest multiplier. Based on the shows below it in the table, it also has plenty of room to fall before the demand starts to look worrying.
Generation
Generation premiered before Made For Love, but is still fairly new. The large differences in audience demand is disappointing for Generation. It does not by any means appear to be HBO Max’s next breakout show, but they’ve been too light on cancelations and endings so far to assume this will be one-and-done.
