Reality dominates Sunday night as Seven’s drama Between Two Worlds struggles
Nine’s Australian Ninja Warrior, Seven’s Farmer Wants A Wife, and Ten’s Bachelor in Paradise went head to head last night. Ninja won the primetime battle with 898,000 metro viewers, ahead of Farmer’s 792,000 and Paradise’s 488,000.
Later on, at 8:30pm, the second episode of Seven’s drama Between Two Worlds delivered 279,000 metro viewers, a 33% drop from 419,000 for its premiere last week, putting it below Nine’s 60 Minutes (662,000 metro viewers) and ABC’s Vera (637,000).
Frankly, I am not surprised that Between Two Worlds dropped 33% after the first episode, I wonder that it didn’t drop further.
The dilettante will usually do what he/she imagines a qualified person or real agent would do in any given situation. There are some very good people involved in Between Two Worlds, but the overall production and the script are well below the bar.
We have had the desire to be great producers of drama for many years, and we have most of what is needed at our fingertips; we must take the steps to change the basic foundation of what we do with our drama production because we simply continue to replicate the old mistakes.
