What do you think? Do you like the Deception TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Love this show! Don’t know about the rating scale, but we don’t miss an episode. Should most definitely NOT be cancelled. Best Drama NBC has had in quite a while. Beats that goofy stuff they usually air. (why?)
I loved Deception. Most of my friends are watchers. Please don’t cancel it.
Please bring back Deception I LOVE it!!!!
Good drama rich people think ‘s they can do anything this show goes after them no matter what the cost it’s refreshing keep the show going.
It would be disappointing if NBC cancels this show. I work nights and always DVR the show to watch on my days off. Quality acting. Good plot. Twists and turns. Bring this show back!!!
I loved this show even though it was going around in circles as some put it … It had me on the edge of my seat always trying to figure out who was going to do what or what was going to happen next. The line of actors is amazing and sexy in this show!!! Please bring it back for another season and another!!! You have a night time soap opera here as my BF had put it when it got to the good scenes with Wes Brown or the FBI agent and Megan Good is not only a good… Read more »
I was really impressed with the caliber of the acting and the content of the show. The twists of supposed bad guys turning out to be noble, the family patriarch hero turning out to be a monster and the mysterious good doctor/bad boy remaining mysterious and the addition of S. Epatha Merkerson… Seriously, this is setting up to be just as dynamic as “Revenge” and I am not a Revenge fan and just as tune in next week as “Scandal”. This is not a show that should be on the bubble or cancelled…NBC doesn’t have many good shows that can… Read more »
Please bring Deception back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this show please don’t cancel it!
please put this show back on ,i rate this show up their with scandle and revenge,
I absolutely love this show!! Every episode is better than the last. My favorite shows typically tend to be on ABC (Grey’s Anatomy, Revenge, Nashville) so I was surprised to stumble on this gem on NBC.I can’t believe they may be canceling this show, especially since they leave you hanging with the season finale. I really hope they change their minds , and they need to really publicize this show better than they have been!!
This show is a hit!
It has to come back I have to know what happens
This is an awesome show. The buzz seems to be surrounding Scandal, but I think they are sleeping on Deception. There is no comparison. When I tell you that I am on the edge of my seat during every episode, it is an understatement. With that said, I hope the network brings this show back. Great job Meagan Good and other cast members.
