Prodigal Son

I normally stay away from anything "horror" related. But, I am a criminal minds fan. Yes, I knew that it looked very silence of the lambs in the beginning, but I stuck with it and was thoroughly entertained. Michael Sheen was amazing! I hope the rest of the season continues this well.

This show has potential but every scene is so over the top and convenient that it's hard to take it seriously.

I perused the new show line-up and saw nothing I would waste my time and/or DVR space on until I happened onto Prodigal Son and decided to give it a try. The first 5 minutes I began to yawn but I kept watching for another 5 minutes and suddenly I was "HOOKED" It is a unique TV crime thriller with a couple of twists to keep me guessing (and that's pretty hard to do). This is the only show in the Fall line-up that I will be watching and will probably watch until it has its final season. I hope that FOX keeps it in their line-up or I will be forced back to a streaming service to find anything that isn't the idiotic junk they try to pass off as a comedy or romance.

I LOVE this show and all the craziness that goes on!

From the first episode, I was grabbed by the story of Malcolm Bright and his family (Eternally bummed with the short seasons, though!).

Lou Diamond Phillips' character, Gil, and Malcolm have a fascinating relationship, as well.

But mom (Bellamy Young) and sis (Halston Sage) have some surprises!

The supporting cast is solid.

This is a show of twists and twistedness, humor and heart.

I am extremely upset that this brilliant and creative show has been cancelled.

Though FOX seems to have a history of cancelling most of my favorite shows... on their network.

I hope it gets picked up by another network!

Just watched the final episode and I'm blown away. It can't end like this! This last episode had me on the edge of my seat. I pray Netflix, Hulu or another station picks it up. Everything about it is absolutely phenomenal and I'm saddened that Fox couldn't see the brilliance of the cast and writing.
