  1. @ trev.. it was on ABC2.. hardly the ratings success of FTA.

    Congratulations to Josh Thomas.. beautiful series and well deserved of all these accolades. Can’t wait for series 2.

    1. ABC2 ratings are not really the point here. GLAAD is looking at it from a US broadcast perspective. I don’t have specific numbers for Pivot (does Trev?). It clearly had strong US reviews. I would be disappointed if any awards were given purely on the basis of ratings. That would be like awarding McDonald’s the Good Food Guide win every year?
