"While the" Game of Thrones "does not enter the screens, this is the second most popular show on television. The second among three billion other TV shows, "said Madden.
He admitted that the creators of the show and leadership were worried about the ratings after the departure of Andrew Lincoln, who acting the role of Rick of Gillems. However, there was no reason for panic. "The episode that followed Rick left the plot, showed the result of only 1% worse than the previous one. In terms of retention of attention to the audience, it is just incredible. In addition, there are still many friendly spectators in the show: Daryl (Norman Ridus), Carol (Melissa McBride) and Nigan (Jeffrey Din Morgan), "said Madden.
And although the ratings of the "walking dead" over the past few years fell, and the number of viewers decreased, the series is not yet ready for completion.
