It’s been quite awhile since NBC had a successful drama on Sunday nights. Will American Odyssey change that and become a hit in the ratings? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On the American Odyssey TV show, an international cover-up explodes when the lives of a female Special Forces soldier, a disillusioned corporate lawyer, and a political activist from a privileged family unexpectedly collide. The cast includes Anna Friel, Peter Facinelli, Jake Robinson, Jim True-Frost, Sadie Sink, Omar Ghazaoui, Nate Mooney, Elena Kampouris, Daniella Pineda, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and Treat Williams.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

6/30 update: NBC has cancelled the series after one season.

What do you think? Do you like the American Odyssey TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I have enjoyed this show from the beginning. I have experienced frustration that is an effect of identification with the characters and their frustration as they encounter repeated seemingly insurmountable obstacles, Odell’s frustration, Peter’s frustration, Harrison’s frustration, Bob’s frustration, and Odell’s daughter Suzanne’s frustration. I especially enjoy the faith and loyalty and honesty portrayed by the two children in the story, Suzanne and Aslam. The show has me entertained and suffering from fears for those well liked characters who are threatened by the corrupt sociopathic superpowers and their supporters. i liked the way the Ruby problem was resolved, i wasn’t… Read more »
Love American Odessy and am very much hoping for renewal! My husband and I really look forward to Sunday night TV because of it and would so hate to see it go. Please give it a chance to take off. It has the same type suspense factor of 24!!!
been binge watching the first few episodes. too many side stories. We get 10 minutes of Odelle and 30 minutes of all the side stories and the side stories of the side stories. most of which are BORING!!! and don’t further the main plot. Typical 4 to 6 hour miniseries crammed into 13 hours of tv time. As a result, bad ratings and cancellation looming.
Leave the show keep it going
I like the Odelle story, every thing else is a waste. Seriously , enough with the sex.
I like this show. I hope it is renewed.
I think this show would have done better as a feature film like the Manchurian Candidate with Denzel Washington or Naomi Watts in Fair Game (highly recommend). Or in 6 to 8 episodes rather than 12.
Correction: 13 episodes
I like this show. It’s suspenseful and may be too close to the truth. I hope it is renewed.
This is an outstanding show; multiple plot lines, excellent acting, super cinematography, suspense, action. What more could you ask for on a generally dull Sunday night lineup?
RENEW RENEW RENEW
i totally agree, feel the same, great show, really entertaining, interesting characters and plot lines, great drama and intrigue. Definitely a show i want to see through, want to find out what happens, and assuming O’dell won’t be killed off, i want to watch her win, and triumph. Unfortunately, the show is extremely low in the ratings and keeps getting lower. It must be a bad schedule time because this kind of entertainment is very popular at other times, i’m just thinking of Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder, suspense, intrigue, who dunnit, a certain amount of violence,… Read more »
actually, i stand corrected—it hasn’t really gone down in the ratings. It actually had an increase two weeks ago, but it was already very low, i don’t know how much lower it can get, sadly.
I would really like to see American Odyssey renewed…I like the show a lot!
I really like this show, however it has gotten frustrating to watch with so many commercial breaks. Really each episode is only about 20 minutes with 40 minutes of ads. It is just too much interruption really. Worse than most prime time shows. Give us a little more show each week please.
Please renew this tremendous show.It reminds me of a major network version of Homeland.
Please do not cancel American Odyssey. It is nice to see other than reality tv shows and more series like this based on US and world affairs and especially the government. There is so much corruption in the world and lies that this lends to true possibilities on a different level. It lets us keep an open mind.
Reall love this show! However, I think it’s a mini-series. One that’s only meant to be on one season. However, if it is renewed I will definitely watch.
I think this series had potential with the exception of a few items. The writers or writers of the last few episodes are horrible, and I am beginning to think that the networks higher ups h or producers must be sleeping with these writers, because I can’t believe that they would allow such sloppy storylines. I mean really you have a character like Harrison that believes and knows of a conspiracy and he sleeps with Ruby knowing that she has been lying, and he falls for the child abuse story. REALLY! She was the only one that knew he was… Read more »
