Discovery reports the season finale drew 2.2 million U.S. viewers over the first three days, compared with 2.4 million for the premiere during its initial measured period.

Variety states the first season concludes on May 10. Together, the reporting indicates strong initial audience numbers for the freshman run and continued viewership into the finale.
