The CW's latest (and possibly final) DC Comics-based series, Gotham Knights, received abysmal reviews (it currently sits at 18% on Rotten Tomatoes), but the show appears to be a lot more popular with viewers than critics.
According to data provided by Parrot Analytics (via The Wrap), the Batman-centric superhero adventure saw demand more than double after its first episode aired.
Gotham Knights entered the rankings as one of the United States' most in-demand breakout series, scoring 16.9 times the average demand. Though it's right down at the bottom of the top-ten, this still marks a massive 146-percent increase since the show's premiere aired on March 14.
Parrot Analytics' data takes into account consumer research, streaming, downloads and social media, among other engagement.
HBO's acclaimed The Last of Us adaptation remained the most in-demand breakout series for the week of March 11 -17, with an "exceptional" 63.5 multiplier.
