Prodigal Son

This is one of the best tv shows with great actors/actress. You must continue episodes If Fox can't appreciate this. At least you should to end this properly!! Not like this.

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.

Seems like everything on tv is based on cops, lawyers, or drs and many of these shows get stale and monotonous quickly. I appreciate the originality of the show. It's dark and is interesting. The plot is pretty good. Hopefully the acting will improve as the show progresses. I really enjoy watching the father and Malcom. However, the sister and the detectives sometimes are unconvincing. Overall, it has some components of Criminal Minds, Blacklist and Hannibal which is a positive. Hopefully it sticks around because I am growing tired of the lack of variety on current tv.

I'm 2 episodes in and hooked. Tom Payne is great as the genius profiler with a traumatic past and Martin Sheen is very convincing and creepy as the "loving" serial killer father. I like that the cases being solved feel like a background story and the manipulative father son relationship stays at the forefront.
