Like the others have touched upon, there are probably many different things at play.
I think one of the main reasons people aren't watching may be that the show isn't so easily defined. Is it a drama series? Is it a political thriller? But there is also sex and romance (of sorts)...?
I would say it's more like regular life than most other shows and maybe that's why. It's very honest about relationships and why people do things to/for each other, but there are no real moral codes. The "bad" characters are not punished, there is no real lesson to be learned, sometimes a favourite character dies (Amador, Gregory).
On the one hand, I'm glad this show isn't massive, because it puts a lot of strain on everyone involved. (It's enough that the two main actors are dating. I don't think a show benefits from gossip and pap photos of the actors, so I'm glad those two are so relatively anonymous in the celebrity world.)
On the other hand, I'm also fiercely proud of the show and want more people to appreciate it - even if it doesn't win major awards.
