CABLE HIGHLIGHTS:  There’s been a lot of spin around, but it stood to reason that the Season 2 premiere of KILLING EVE was going to get the show’s highest ratings to date, now that it’s being simulcast on AMC, a network with a much larger daily audience than original platform BBCAmerica.  In fact, it seems fair to call the result distinctly disappointing with that in mind, considering that the BBCAmerica Season 1 finale was at 0.13, and AMC only managed 0.15 despite enormous marketing, with the BBCAmerica telecast adding 0.10.  Adding insult to injury, the far less heralded linear premiere of A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES (available for months via streaming) was at 0.17 on AMC, although that was much lower on BBCAmerica, off the chart at 0.03/225K.  

The rest of scripted was subdued, as all of pop culture awaits next week’s return of GAME OF THRONES.  On HBO, LAST WEEK TONIGHT edged up 0.02 to 0.28, BARRY ticked down to 0.15, and VEEP was down 0.03 to 0.15.  Adult Swim’s LAZOR WULF was at 0.25/0.20.  On Showtime, BILLIONS rose 0.03 to 0.19, the season premiere of THE CHI was at 0.13, down 0.06 from last year’s season premiere, and down a disheartening 0.19 from the Season 1 finale, and ACTION gained 0.02 to 0.03/133K.  On Starz, AMERICAN GODS nudged down 0.02 to 0.08, and NOW APOCALYPSE was steady off the chart at 0.02/85K.   

Unscripted was led by Bravo’s REAL HOUSEWIVES OF ATLANTA, up 0.06 to 0.87, with MARRIED TO MEDICINE down 0.02 to 0.35.  ESPN’s coverage of the NCAA WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP game was at 0.75, and its MLB SUNDAY NIGHT game was at 0.48.  On E!, KEEPING UP WITH THE KARDASHIANS dropped 0.09 to 0.53, and VERY CAVALLARI ticked down to 0.26.  Food Network’s BUDDY VS DUFF rose 0.05 to 0.44.  FOx Sports 1’s NASCAR race was at 0.42.  On TLC, SISTER WIVES edged up 0.02 to 0.35, and SEEKING SISTER WIFE was steady at 0.25.  Discovery’s EXPEDITION UNKNOWN was at 0.34.  On ID, EVIL LIVES HERE climbed 0.06 to 0.33, and MADELINE MCCANN: AN ID MYSTERY was at 0.30.  HGTV’s line-up was led by HOW CLOSE CAN I BEACH at 0.33/0.31, compared to last week’s 0.30/0.27.  USA’s WWE WRESTLEMANIA KICKOFF special was at 0.26.  Paramount’s BAR RESCUE fell 0.07 to 0.25.
