I don't know the ratings but I found the show got worse as the seasons went on. From what I've seen with on line commentary, I am far from alone in that. Characters became less likable, [except Shannon who was always peak unlikable] from what others said. I kept watching it out of habit but I am glad they pulled the plug.
I disagree O Knight of Ni, the show was never meant to be an Asiatic Little House on the Prairie, making the characters likeable. It worked, the characters were relatable. Janet was a spoiled brat who took what her parents offered her for granted. Jung was vain and selfish, he got what he deserved at the end of S5. It was room for much more with too many storied not concluded.
I am just a humble shrubber but I found the characters on the likeable side at the start of the show. As time went on I actively started to dislike them... except of course for Shannon who was always pure cancer. I am not saying they were perfect at the start but they were not disagreeable. They basically Flanderized the characters.
That's nothing I tells you. I had it rough, rough. My mother was a hamster and my father smelled of elderberries.
That's still not as rough as Rodney Dangerfield. He said his mother never breast fed him - she said she likes him as a friend.
Good for Oscar Isaac, outstanding actor.
