The sun just got a lot lower: AMC's much-anticipated new cop drama Low Winter Sun lost more than half of its demo viewership in its second episode, logging a 0.5 among 18-49 year-old viewers versus last week's 1.1 rating. The total viewer number dipped, as well, with 41 percent fewer pairs of eyeballs (1.47 million) than last week. The show also lost 79 percent of its lead-in audience from smash hit Breaking Bad.

It's not a good sign for the gritty Detroit-set show, which boasts a cast of several Motor City natives led by Brit actors Mark Strong and Rennie James.
