Love it.
I really like this show. I’ve watched it from the first episode. So glad it’s being renewed!
I absolutely love this show. I can’t wait to the next season!
Animal Kingdom is an engaging, thrilling, and wonderfully colorful character driven show. Congrats to the cast on the renewal, and to TNT for taking great strides with this show as well as Queen of the South. Ellen Barkin was meant to play this role, although I’m sure was she gets off set needs a few drinks and a smile !! Very entertaining

Pleased about renewal. Improve TNT app to correct interruptions
Really enjoyed the first season and can’t wait for the second to start
Best show on TV, all actors are brilliant, can’t wait for season 2.
Best thing on tv, almost as good as Sopranos used to be.
Very well written drama. Glad to hear there will be a season two. Thanks.
I think this is the best show on TV. Just watch the final episode on Bravo last night. I hope next season will have more episodes.

This is an excellent show. Storyline is good and the cast and acting is great. I just hope TNT keeps it on long enough for the ratings to improve.
