If the fans of ‘Benched’ are waiting for a second season, there is bad news for them. USA Network has cancelled the sitcom after only one season of twelve episodes.
A single-camera courtroom comedy that focuses on Nina, a dedicated, career-driven corporate attorney who has a very public nervous breakdown after getting passed up for an expected promotion, and finds herself working as a public defender. Her personal and professional worlds are turned upside down when she joins the ranks of the legal world's underdogs and very quickly realizes that the law isn't quite as fair as she once thought. Nina's new colleague is Phil, a tall, dark and handsome, if not a little scruffy, public defender and avid gambler.
The series premiered in October 2014 and immediately had disappointing ratings. There were 830,000 viewers and that number was sometimes slightly higher and sometimes slightly lower in the course of the twelve episodes. The final episodes were broadcast on 30 December and had 830,000 viewers. ‘Benched’ was the lowest-rated series of USA Network just like the cancelled series ‘Covert Affairs’.
What do you think, should they give ‘Benched’ another chance?
