Nielsen Social Ratings: October 30 – November 5

New week, New Top 10!

The Walking Dead dominated the top 10 once again, though the AMC series shed another 200,000 interactions week to week. WWE Monday Night RAW also maintained its spot from last week, coming in at number two with 362,000 interactions.

Shameless‘s season premiere not only scored a win in viewers for the show and Showtime but also landed the number four spot on the Nielsen Social top 10. The Gallagher family’s return earned 268,000 interactions. The Flash also earned a spot in the top 10 this week, with 242,000 interactions.

This Is Us fell from number four to number nine this week, earning 226,000 interactions.

As a refresher: the Content Ratings use the total number of social interactions across Facebook and Twitter to rank the top 10 series/specials and sporting events, separately. The chart includes uniques, which are “unique social media accounts that have authored original content related to a linear TV episode or engaged with that content,” and interactions, which are “original social media posts related to a linear TV episode and the engagement with that content.”
