TV show description:
This dramatic series revolves around a tough and experienced female police officer from Seattle, Allison McLean (Kelli Williams). Like most working women, her hands are already full, balancing a demanding and dangerous job and a family — husband Matt (Jonathan Scarfe), and teenagers Jeff (Mitchell Kummen) and Rachel (Natasha Calis).
She and her partner, Devin (Dion Johnstone), must arrest her brother, Tim (Luke Perry), for aggravated assault. As a result, her world drastically changes. Tim is convicted and sent to prison and this leaves his two teenagers — Cameron (Rhys Matthew Bond) and Mariah (Matreya Scarrwener) — teetering on the brink of foster care.
Having done the right thing as an officer of the law, Allison now feels compelled to do the right thing as a sister and aunt. She brings Tim’s two very unhappy teens into her home. Squeezing four teenagers under one roof proves to be an additional test of Allison’s strength and patience. It’s not easy for her husband, her children, or Tim’s kids either.
Episode #10 — Protect and Serve
Allison and Devin uncover the shocking truth at the heart of a turf war in Crestview. Allison and Matt take the entire family to visit Tim in prison. Jackie, feeling jealous of the way Cameron looks up to Allison, makes a tragic choice.
First aired: October 14, 2015.
What do you think? Do you like the Ties That Bind TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I enjoyed the first season so much I watched it in just a few days! I love the characters and how it showed family love and support. I am a Christian mom and I look for shows with no nudity, bad language, and sexual conduct. This show did have some valance but nothing like others. I was so looking forward to another season. Sometimes I wonder who cancels the shows? Because there are some really bad ones out there and I feel it is time we bring more shows like this back and close the more risky ones.

This is a great series! Why has it been cancelled? Please bring on Season 2!
Great series! Wish you would continue with new seasons. The series was a perfect blend of home and work that you could relate to. Please bring it back. Thanks.
I really liked the series and wish they would bring back a season 2.
So nice to be able to watch a show with a purpose and something that all in my family can enjoy. Great bonus – (as another mom pointed out) it was wonderful not to have to wonder if or when I was going to have to change the channel quickly. It’s come to the point that, YES, I actually sit with the remote in my hand and my finger on the channel button! Geesh, really, there aren’t any writers and producers out there that can come up with something better! Aaaaanyway, I digress . . . Please show some intelligence… Read more »
I just watched the entire first season of Ties that Bind & absolutely loved it……so sad there’s not a season two. ……please bring this show back!!
One of the best shows I’ve watched to date. My 12-year old daughter and I watched all the episodes and we were both wholesomely entertained, while I found some awesome teachable moments. My husband who’s not much into TV, was hooked for a while. Also, so glad I didnt have to fear or cringe at any lewd scenes – as there was none!
Wonderful family show. Please bring it back???
I agree this was one of the best shows I have seen in a long time, great family show. Please bring it back !!!
