Prodigal Son

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 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 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!

Rather than focusing on the present, the show seemed to be tracing back into the past too much, even in the first episode. Malcolm's state of mind and his relationship with his SERIAL KILLER father is both complex and interesting. Michael Sheen's performance is fantastic as well, I'm already hooked!
