At the end of February, the second season of the popular crime series Hrdina arrived on the streaming platform prima+. The now common practice meant the premiere on TV screens a few days later, but this tactic works relatively well for Prima.
Although the viewership of the first episode of the second series (just under 600 thousand viewers) dropped slightly compared to the average for the first series (700 thousand viewers), the series still attracted considerable interest among TV Prima's male and female viewers and continues to hold its own with the rest of the TV audience.
The second series even rose slightly in the ratings compared to the first one. While the first series of the unpretentious crime series has only 48 percent on CSFD, the second one is currently shining at 54 percent after two episodes. The series has also changed directors. Instead of Jan Haluza (Co ste hasiči, Deníček moderního fotra), Jaroslav Fuit (Jedna rodina, Jedině Tereza) is behind the camera this time. Let's see if the next episodes will increase in terms of ratings and quality, or if the interest will gradually fade away.

Marta with Tatiana Dykova manages to stay just above the 900,000 viewers mark, which is obviously a good result for the creators and TV. Against the series Případy mimořádné Marty stands the rerun of Filip Renč's crime drama Hlava medúzy, which aroused a lot of interest when it premiered a few years ago and which has apparently not diminished even after all these years. There were 877,000 viewers. So far, Nova is leading.
Specialisté, another of the big spring comebacks, is doing even better. The eleventh season of TV Nova's popular Czech crime series is not enjoying a very positive rating (it has 36 percent on CSFD), but the viewership is still enormous. The new case of the popular group of investigators attracted 1.06 million viewers to the screens last week, making it one of the most watched shows of the whole week.
Oh, and let's throw in an interesting fact about the Český lev. As expected, the majority of the awards were shared by Vlny and Metoda Markovič: Hojer, but even such popular Czech works did not help to push the ratings to a new record. On the contrary, compared to last year (almost 700,000 viewers), this year's broadcast enjoyed only 647,000 viewers.
While this is still within the norm for the last few years, the question is whether this Czech counterweight to the Oscars should generate slightly higher numbers. Perhaps it can only be a consolation that this year's show is rated 62 percent on CSFD, while last year viewers and viewers gave the Lions a mere 51 percent.
