Telly’s Take
Although FOX has billed it as both an “event series,” and a “10-hour film,” if Shots Fired scores in the Nielsen ratings, smart money says they will find a way to bring it back, perhaps as an anthology drama like ABC‘s American Crime, or American Crime Story on FX. After all, the networks never worry about my nutritional needs. I will keep an eye on the ratings but, at this point, I don’t forsee a second season.

I really enjoyed the entire season. Hopefully someone picks it up very timely topic
A very good show. I hope someone picks it up. It took a little while to get into I then enjoyed the entire season.
I really hope that Fox reconsiders their decision and renew “Shots Fired” for another season. If not, hopefully another network will pick it up! I’ve really enjoyed watching it and couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Actually stumbled across it on Hulu and got all caught up on the episodes to find out it had been cancelled! 🙁 Fingers crossed for a 2nd season!
Shots fired was a terrific show. It brought out a lot of problems that the black southern community has. It showed prejudice between white police and the black community they patrolled. It showed black police prejudice against white people. It showed what it’s like for people to living in southern majority of black people It was very interesting and should NOT HAVE BEEN CANCELED. In today’s world I think there should be more TV shows like this.
