So Help Me Todd

I can't believe they canceled this show. I hope another network picks it up. The characters have great chemistry and the storylines keep you engaged and wanting more. The episodes are both simple and complex with enough seriousness to keep it from being unbelievable, and enough laughter to keep it light hearted and entertaining. It's a show I was comfortable watching with my mother and/or friends. I love the relationship that Todd has his with mother and siblings. I could write so much more but with the show being canceled I am sure this is useless feedback. In any event, I truly hope that another network continues with show as it is truly worth watching while decompressing from daily tasks..

I have to say that when I saw the idea behind the show I wasn't immediately taken by this. But then I got VERY sick and was stuck at home and it felt like I'd watched everything, so I gave it a shot. Wow... I was so surprised how much I enjoyed it.

This show definitely stretches the limit on how the law works and isn't the most accurate... But that's not why you watch a show like this. This show has heart and made me smile every single episode. I like how each character is slowly built and I really hope there's another season so I can learn more about some of the others!

Hands down the star of each scene is Marcia Gay Harden. The other actors around her are also good, but she really commands the screen when she's on it. Hope you give it a shot!

I have loved So Help Me Todd from the 1st episode! It is a great who-done-it. The writers and actors are brilliant! It's definitely something I've been waiting on for a very long time. It's hilarious. It's suspenseful. This quirky family's escapades, drama, and chemistry work perfectly together. I look forward to seeing the next episode week after week. I really wish another network would pick up the show and continue on with my favorite new program. I want to know what will happen with Margaret & Gus. Will Harry be back again? What about Allison & her new interest? Will Todd & Susan ever reconnect? Are Lyle & Alex really over? Lawrence & Chet expanding family? And what will become of the firm? Is Beverly a villain? I dread the thought of this favorite being over already. 🙁

This show reminds me of any number of shows on the USA Network in the late 90s or early 2000s. The little mysteries are solvable within minutes of the story unfolding and much of what happens in each episode is seriously convoluted and utterly ridiculous. But I can't help watching it and I just love the show. It's really about the cast. Marcia Gay Harden, Skylar Astin, and Madeline Wise perfectly embody their characters and have fantastic chemistry. The supporting cast is also very good. Across the board the actors are all in, embracing the silly, sometimes playing it perfectly straight, and sometimes a little wacky, and it just works! It's fun and silly and quirky and I think it will get better as time goes on and the writers and producers embrace what works and throw out what doesn't. I look forward to watching this each week as a distraction from the real world.

Why did this get canceled?? Netflix or AppleTv should buy this series and keep making it. Such a good cast, stories and fun. So Help Me Todd is a fun legal dramedy mystery series with good performances. The running gags are humorous and the character development introduced so far is compelling. Can't find fault with anything about it. It's a light show not a serious detective drama. Very watchable. Hardin is a curmudgeon sometimes offers good contrast with Astin playing her private eye son who's recovering from bad decisions. I look forward to seeing how the show progresses and am optimistic it will get better. It's no Better Call Saul but it could get there. Maybe a karaoke scene is required to get some singing in the show!!
