“Good Doctor” was no match for “Marianne”
During its three weeks of broadcast, “Marianne” has prevailed at the top of the ratings, taking advantage in particular of the weakness with the overall audience of the American series “Good Doctor” on TF1. As a reminder, the channel has been deprived of part of its audience since the beginning of September due to the conflict between it and the Canal+ group. On average and in audience, the new series France 2 was able to count on 3.14 million viewers, i.e. a market share of 15.9% according to mediametry.
A good result for the channel that has not yet confirmed a season 2. As an indication, in 2021, season 1 of another legal series, “The Code”, had been followed by an average of 2.99 million onlookers, which meant a market share of 14.2%.
