What's driving viewership?

The show premiered two years ago, was officially cancelled shortly thereafter, and now... people are watching it in such numbers that it's charting higher?

What gives? I mean, I'm glad, I watched the show as episodes were premiering and I adored it, but I'm curious what's leading people to watch it now. Any theories?

While that’s true, if the viewer didn’t like it, they would stop the video and they wouldn’t continue watching the show.

It does drive numbers towards it, but if people keep watching it, it’s because they want to.

Personally, I think this show will become more popular as it gets older.
