Myles, thanks for a great post! I heard about this show a month ago, WOM of course, and love it. And I think, as a cord cutter, I am Hulu’s key demo here – amid this season of great shows like Mad Men and Game of Thrones, this is one of the programs I actually have weekly access to, which makes it similar, again, to traditional TV. The lack of exposure outside the US also make sit similar to network fare, as traditionally, television shows are only distributed globally if they are successful in the US (or a co-production). I think. If Battleground is renewed for a second season, and this is a debate I have had at work with other Battleground fans, where do you think they will go? Another election? A different cast?

Also, this show is completely unavailable to anyone not in the US, rendering its audience even lesser, and also making the audience for articles about it even smaller.
