Well it seems nobody cares about Caitlyn Jenner
or her story anymore.
The reality star's new show titled "I Am Cait"
premiered 3 days ago, and now the official
numbers and reviews are out.
The show which was expected to be the biggest
hit on TV this year actually failed to deliver in
terms of views or positive feedback.
Preliminary figures show the first episode to the
docu-series picked up 2.73 million when it
premiered in the US on Sunday evening. Although
the number is slightly higher than what "Keeping
Up With The Kardashians" gets every week, it's a
far cry from what was expected of the show.
Caitlyn's interview with Diane Sawyer pulled in 17
million views and her acceptance speech on the
ESPY awards pulled in 8 million views. Caitlyn's
new show doesn't even reach up to half of those
numbers.
Critically as well, the show is getting some
terrible reviews with a current 4.8/10 on IMDB.
The New York Times wrote: "There’s no reason to
doubt Ms. Jenner’s sincerity when she cites
statistics about suicide among transgender
teenagers or consoles a grieving parent, but you
also can’t help noticing how she seems to be
reading from a script."
Also, Slate’s television critic slated it for being
boring writing: "I Am Cait is a respectable TV
show with noble motives that easily evades my
worst anxieties for it. And in doing so, it slams
into what I never, ever could have imagined for it:
dullness."
It seems people are just not here for Caitlyn
Jenner anymore.
There is a time&season for everything.
