I am so glad they are getting another season. I love this show and was sad to hear that it might get canceled. Hopefully they keep it going for a bit, especially with the new family addition and the flashbacks they did this last season.
Glad they renewed for a fifth season, can’t wait to watch. We binged watched all 4 seasons within a couple of months
Love this show. Can’t wait for every upcoming season. I wish there wasn’t so much time between seasons. If TNT wants to improve ratings they should reduce the down time.
I totally agree with that statement
I totally agree also that there should be less time in between seasons. I am so anxious for it to start.
I am very happy my kids and husband and whole family watch it. We can’t wait.
