An average 3.6 million viewers tuned in to the first episode of “Krapopolis” on Sunday night, according to Live + Same Day data from Nielsen.
Titled “All Hail the Goddess of Likability!,” the premiere scored an impressive 1.2 rating among adults aged 18-49. As is typical, viewership dropped with Episode 2 of “Krapopolis,” which aired directly afterwards.
Titled “The Stuperbowl,” the episode drew 1.8 million viewers on average, and a 0.5 among adults 18-49.
