Animal Kingdom has signaled the new tone for TNT dramas and is moving the network in the direction we hoped it would. I’m confident that our strategy of working with high-caliber talent and then getting out of their way will continue to pay off.”
What do you think? Have you been watching Animal Kingdom? Are you glad it’s been renewed?
Love seeing that Jay in white briefs. And to know his character choses to wear them… mmmmm
Yes!!!! I’m super excited that we are getting a second season of Animal Kingdom. The show is risky with a great story line. It keeps me on the edge of my seat every time. The boys are doing a great job of developing theirs characters and being some sexy eye candy for us ladies… Smurf is awesome and on top of her game. I can’t wait to see what season 2 brings to the table. Congrats Animal Kingdom.
I watched the first episode the day after the premiere on YouTube then made my wife watch it and we have been hooked ever since… i only pay for cable for my kids to watch cartoons, FTWD, TWD, and of course Talking Dead! it’s nice to have another show to watch during the times when having cable doesn’t seem to matter to much! Pope creeped me out in the beginning but now I think he’s the ****, Baz is the smartest of them all so far, Craig was dumb for taking that girls stuff, Darren needs to let his natural… Read more »
Love the show! Definitely a departure of sorts for TNT. Can’t wait for season 2!
Great acting very happy for second season, also please show more table reads….AWESOME……….
Been a long time since I have watched a shoe that I like this much! Can’t wait for Tuesday every week!
I love this show best summer one on
Shout out to Oside and all the San Diego peeps. This show is the first scripted show I’ve watched in a long time. Love me some crime drama and love seeing a SoCal Sopranos. So happy we get a season 2. Don’t stop believing!
This show is definitely the best I’ve seen since Breaking Bad and Southland. The acting is incredible, the guys are soo hot and Ellen Barkin is top notch. The hour goes by way too fast. Genius writing, producing etc. Please please keep it coming! Thank you.
This is by far the best show next to walking dead imho! The story line is original and keeps you wanting more… I can’t wait until the next week comes, after watching it each and every week.. The ratings might be a little low because it takes place in the summer, because every person I tell about it, has never heard of it. I have gotten a lot of people watching it, and every person can’t get enough! I hope this show stays around for a long time…especially since most shows are the same boring story line! Please keep up… Read more »
I love this show. Glad it’s renewed.
I love this show. Acting is top-notch.
By far this is one of the best drama/action shows ever! I am a huge fan of Ellen Barkin and the casting is fantastic. Each actor was correctly type-cast.
Great show. Keep it coming. They are going to have to drift away from the movie though. I doubt anybody wants to see jay questioning whether he’s in or out for another season. His character needs to develop as part of the family. Just my opinion though. Great series! Keep pushing the limits!
How can a show be any edgier, any more intense with satisfactory acting, directing, photography and characters you love to hate, love, hate, love. I am so glad it has been renewed. Pope is terrifying; Baz controlling; Smurf terrifying but so loving; J just adorable; Craig is druggy, edgy, sexy as hell; and Deran a golden ******/maschoistic. Just damn thrilling television.
I love it
