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.

Please renew
Definitely KEEP IT! APB is a refreshing look at something entertaining and has an engaging case of possibilities, both human and tech. Good ensemble cast and a subliminal sense of humor.
Come on FOX. We’ve had enough of Fake-Ality shows, stupid shows, sad shows, garbage shows. It’s about time you let us have a really fun show that has some happy endings, has great dynamics between the characters and isn’t in NY. Besides that – THE COPS win in this with technology. This is 2017. Who’s to say some of this TV Tech can’t really exist?? Oh, the lead is a women that holds her own with a man – imagine that!! There’s a great male actor doing a super job with a fantastic female actor. Let the show have another… Read more »
This series grew on me episode the episode it is finally reaching a point of serious interest in my schedule… I hope it is not canceled. I found the dynamics between Gideon and Murphy to be quite interesting as they learn more about each other and their respective skills at solving crimes; technology versus police crime fighting experience .
They need to APB another chance b/c its a fantastic show w/a GREAT cast!! I love how its mixed w/humor although its a very serious situation that is going on that needs to be helped. Gideon is just awesome, and what a perfect actor to portray him; I love the chemistry b/w Gideon/Det. Murphy (I adore Natalie Martinez) they work so well together and have this “special spark” more so than he had w/Kim Raver – I don’t trust her character, this show has so much going on and I think the network needs to give it a chance and… Read more »
PLEASE renew for season 2.
Don’t be so quick to cancel a great show.
It is opposite 2 long running reality shows on ABC and NBC.
Give people a chance to find and watch this exciting and funny show!!!
I watch APB every week and I hope it’s renewed for another season please give it another chance in staying on the air .
This is a wonderful show and I hope Fox gives it a second season. It reminds me a bit of Pure Genius on CBS (another great show) only with technology for the PD vs medicine. These are wonderful, innovative shows that should be marketed well and allowed to catch on with the viewing public. There are too few good dramas on anymore. Give APB a good shot at success.
Please RENEW
This is a fairly good show but would someone tell me how Chicago with a
“minority” population of over 65% can’t find a white criminal to arrest? Just asking
Really like it. Should be renewed.
Really like the show
This show is great! We might see some of this tech in the near future. Great foresight by the writers!
I’m a huge fan of the show. I’m talky tired on the networks canceling something after one season of low ratings. Give em time to get a fan base. I’ve talked to alot of people that really enjoy this show. It has solid topic and background with an even better cast lineup.
Good show. Hope it gets renewed.
Please DON’T cancel APB I really want APB to get a second season
