The BrainDead TV show has been cancelled after its first season on CBS. Deadline reports the summer series’ cancellation is due to low ratings. No surprise, there.
A comedic political thriller, the BrainDead cast includes: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Danny Pino, Aaron Tveit, Tony Shalhoub, Nikki M. James, Johnny Ray Gill, Charlie Semine, and Jan Maxwell.
Created by The Good Wife‘s Robert and Michelle King, BrainDead is set in the world of Washington, DC politics. Fresh-faced, Laurel Healy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has returned home to Washington, DC to work for her brother, Senator Luke Healy (Danny Pino) on Capitol Hill.
What do you think? Did you watch the first season of the BrainDead TV series? Do you think BrainDead should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season on CBS? Sound off in the comments.
We hate politicians and the only explanation is their brain have been eaten by something.
I thought it was the best show on TV. Could hardly wait for each new episode. Not only funny, it was a really good representation of how things really work in D.C. And the “previously on Braindead” was as good as the show! It may have actually been my favorite part of the show.
My husband and I absolutely loved the show and were not happy about the series being cancelled after only one season!
I loved the funny show.
I really loved the show , it was very interesting , it was funny , and it had some very good laughs as well , and also it was very spooky , the big wigs at CBS are pretty much ******** for cancelling the show , so **** you CBS , you can’t handle the truth at all , and I really would like to stick my middle finger up your damn ass , as the show rocks on , until someone else would most kindly , bring back the show , then another network would really appreciate the fans… Read more »
This show is the craziest ride on the best space mountain ride in the whole frickin world. SAVE BRAINDEAD!!!
Loved it. Reality has only lagged a few seasons behind. Should be brought back.
My husband and I are in our seventy’s and we loved Brain Dead. It was crazy, super funny, intricate plot, great acting, loved the musical entries at the beginning, very talented singer songwriter. A little before it’s time, rather prophetic regarding what has and still is poor relationships between
Democrats and Republicans.
It was actually good. There were times certain scenes dragged on but compared to all the crap on tv today, it was well written, actors were great. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Kathi,
It was better than many of the truly “brain dead” programs plaguing TV these days. It had a plot, was clever, engaged in current politics with humor and was creatively written. Sorry to see it was axed, few things are worth watching.
I loved it and was looking forward to Season 2 – so sad to see it cancelled. It was very entertaining, in a quirky, creative sort of way.
We laughed so hard we cried. That was the best written, best acted, freshest take on a potential explanation of the absurd world of DC politics Ever. The only problem was not enough people knew about it in time to establish good ratings – you should have at least given it two seasons. We are very upset you axed such a gem. So sad.
Loved this show. Of course it was cancelled. Every show I love gets cancelled.
One of the newest quirky show that is so refreshing!! Keep it, season 2 a must!!
It was original and super funny. Worst is they never wrap up a show before they cancel There are so many lame and jackass
shows that appear yr after yr but when they get something witty they take it off the air without any notice. Nothing but
disrespect for the viewer
We love Brain dead”!!!!!! Please reshow season 1 & produce season 3,4,5,6………….
