Really enjoy the show. Great acting. Hope it will renew.
A great show that developed nicely and should have many more seasons potentially
This was the best new show of the summer! Great acting, great plots, great characters! Please renew!
I really enjoyed this show! Very different and such character detail has me very invested. I was never a big fan of Schwimmer but he has changed my mind in this role. Please renew! Love seeing Warehime in a show and even want to see how her character and all the others continue to develop.
Please renew love show
My husband and I looked forward to it each week, loved it, please renew!
This is a great show, holds my attention through the hour and I always want more! Please renew this great show, the case and storyline is Great! Five stars
One of the Best shows I have seen in a long time. The acting was great and storyline good. It needs another season
I like Feed the Beast a lot. It has an original vibe and isn’t like anything else on TV right now. Renew , renew, renew!
Please renew AMC! This show is incredible and deserves a second season. We’re in the thick of things now and the stage is set to have an explosive season two!!! Renew renew renew!
Yes, this show needs to renew!
Bring back feed the beast!!! My husband and I liked the show a lot!!! It was fun.
Please renew this show. It is a summer show and they usually don’t do well as a rule. Give this a fall or winter showing and the ratings will go up. The season finale was great. Don’t leave us hanging.
Definitely agree as people are not home to watch tv in the summer as they are in Fall and Winter. References to the South Bronx and New York City is great for us natives!
Toxic masculinity.
One of the best shows on the air.. A definite renew…
