Last week, Prime Video came up with their original Indian series and they came up with the third season of Four More Shots Please. For the unversed, it is one of the most toxic and cringe-worthy shows ever made. The lead characters are despicable and so is the whole premise.
Regardless, the show was the 7th most-watched TV Series last week on Prime Video. We are quoting the spot from reliable third-party source FlixPatrol. Mind you that we are talking about the global charts and not just India.
But what is the reason behind such a terrible show trending globally?
But before we get into the reasons, let us confirm to you that it is all just a gimmick. The show might have been the seventh most watched show globally on Prime Video but it doesn’t mean that the show is successful.
But why?
Firstly, we need to understand that the condition of Prime Video India is comparatively better than Prime Video USA. They have a decent presence and dominance in the Indian OTT industry but the same can’t be said about the western world. Except for a few series, like The Boyz, The Rings Of Power, and Jack Ryan, there is practically little that the platform has.
So, the lack of good content and reach amongst the western audience is a MAJOR factor, Indian content appears to be more successful on the platform.
So yes, lack of competition from any International titles is the driving force.
Secondly, let’s look at the chart.
If you closely observe then you can see two steep declines. The first one comes at the third spot where “Reacher” has less than half points than “The Peripheral” which is in second place.
The second steep decline is seen in the case of Four More Shots Please. The condition of the series is so pathetic that it is much below “The Wheel Of Time” which is almost 9-10 months old.
Thus yet again, a clear lack of competition is visible which helped “Four More Shots Please” crack the list.
Had it occupied the third spot then it would be appreciated but having grabbed the 7th spot in such a competition-free chart shows the pathetic response to the show.
In the end, we recommend Prime Video to never renew Four More Shots Please.
