This season, CBS aired a TV show called Pure Genius that revoved around using advanced technology to help solve medical problems. It didn’t do well in the ratings and will likely be cancelled soon. Now, FOX is trying a high-tech cop series called APB. Will this TV show do any better in the ratings? Will the APB TV series be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
On the APB TV show, the Chicago Police Department is spiraling out of control thanks to high crime, officer-involved shootings, cover-ups, corruption, and under-funding. Billionaire engineer Gideon Reeves (Justin Kirk) wants to change all that. He puts up millions of dollars of his own money to take charge of the troubled 13th District and reboots it as a technically innovative police force. Teaming with street-smart Detective Theresa Murphy (Natalie Martinez) and tech wiz Ada Hamilton (Caitlin Stasey), Reeves embarks on a mission to create a crime-fighting force for the 21st century. The FOX series cast also includes Ernie Hudson, Taylor Handley, and Tamberla Perry.
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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the APB TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
5/11 update: FOX has cancelled the APB TV show after one season. Details here.
Please DON’T cancel APB
I’m getting so upset with some shows I really enjoy getting cancelled !
Justin Kirk is AMAZING & 1 OF A KIND ACTOR!!!!!!!!!!
Love the show. The cast is brilliant. But the lead female detective needs acting lessons. All the lines are like she is reading a book. I get upset watching it. Taking it out of my tv que. All the thought of how to fix what is broken in the police force is amazing.
So I completely disagree with your opinion on the lead female actor being bad. I think the lead female actor quote on quote detective Murphy is doing a great job I think she’s doing a great job I think they need to have a second season and if it’s just as good if not better than the first then they should have a third season as well this is a really good show she’s doing a really good job I think that it’s a great show and the sparking tension between Gideon and detective Murphy is awesome how they flirt… Read more »
Oh my, great show with a mix of tech and humanity, but perhaps highbrow for the presenter. Wish it was on Syfy where it would have a better chance. Love dealing with some of the trendy topics.
Renew APB please
I miss shows that involve technology like Almost Human, CSI Cyber and Person’s of Interest. Hope this one stays on
Watched the first couple episodes and took it out of my DVR queue. You can’t invent something new every week. The ratings have dropped every week and that will probably continue. I doubt it comes back.
I think you’re completely wrong. I love the idea how he advance at least one or two new things every episode to try in make things better I like how he goes and takes the inventions that he already has and tweaks them to make it better so they fit his purpose I like how he goes through and we evaluate all his techie things and makes it work for what he needs it to work for how he can go in there and take the inventions of your tea has and tweaks it to make it work for what… Read more »
I really enjoy it, something different. Great cast.
I look forward to this show ever week!!! It’s a shame that the ratings are generated for those between 18-49. I am older and love this show!!! I hope you take into account there are others who also like this show! Clever way to use equipment. T
I love the show! It’s innovative! Please don’t cancel!
I love the show cause it reminds me a little bit of CSI NY but with a high tech upgrade with beat cops. I would love to see this show run a course as long as CSI NY did of its seasons of it would be nice to see this show run for about 12 or 15 seasons.
Wish they would cancel this & bring back Almost Human. Karl Urban & Michael Ealy worked way better together than the 2 leads here.
Like a lot
I have truly enjoyed watching APB. Haven’t missed a episode. Too bad someone can’t do this for real. So much crime and violence. Something has to be done. Thank you.
Cancel it, boring plot.
Renewed
WOW…DOUBLE WOW…WHAT A FANTASTIC SHOW THIS IS!! It is a shame it has so many shows against it in the same time slot…BUT we are watching and grateful for our DVR. Hoping this show is given a chance to make it! RENEW, RENEW!
