What do you think? Do you like the Feed the Beast TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Me like “Feed Beast”. Me typical US TV watcher
and me think David Schwimmer best actor since Gavin McLeod. Show is favorite show now since Schwimmer and Sturgess acking so good, almost as good as Vin Diesel when he acks. Sturgess has best accent ever, better than Dick Van Dyke cockknee accent in “Mary Poppins”. Me also think show should be on air forever and not be cancelled like other good shows like “Chevy Chase Show”. Trump for President because he smart and he nice person.
I follow 3 tv series; The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead, & Feed the Beast. All on AMC… I trust the network to air great shows & not cancel when 1 of those shows has a slow start to gather a fan base!! Maybe a different time slot, better advertising, or a marathon of all the episodes in order would help to get more followers? I’m no expert, just love the show & would hate for it to go!!!
Hey, Tammy…….I don’t watch tv series anymore, but, I started watching AMC (thanks to my son), and I watch the same shows that you do!! I LOVE “Feed the Beast”, and they’d better renew it!!! David Schwimmer is absolutely amazing in it. He’s the reason I wanted to check it out in the first place.
Best damn show of the summer! Please renew.
Please renew!! It’s rare that I accept a new show and this is one I got hooked on. Excellent show, excellent cast and acting. I honestly didn’t know if I could take David Schwimmer seriously outside of Friends and he’s really done a fantastic job as well as everyone else. Please renew for season 2!!
Several great break-out starring roles; interesting plot twists; characters you care about. Critics don’t speak for the majority of Americans….RENEW!
renew
Show is great, please renew.
Renew feed the beast. Love the show.
Please renew Feed the Beast.
This is such a fabulous show – several story lines, all with depth and character growth – one of the best new shows in years. IT MUST have a second season, viewership will build as we devotees tell friends that they must watch – it is unique, well-written, suspenseful and addictive.
Please renew ‘Feed the Beast’!!!! It is a great show! Exceptional acting by an excellent cast. This show has such a unique storyline, which is so rare nowadays. Definitely deserves a 2nd season!!
Found the show riveting. The acting is amazing. David Schwimmer excellent. Want it to come back. Rarely watch shows that have violence in them, but this story line is so intriguing I could not miss an episode.
Excellent show which achieved more depth with each episode. It leaves you each week wanting more. The acting and writing is far more superior than other series and deserves another season. it may be about ratings to keep a show on the air but I think this show should be given the opportunity to grow.
Excellent drama, well written and relatable. Please have it return for a second season. There literally is too much ” crap” on TV with all the ridiculous reality shows. It’s refreshing to see a drama that doesn’t have an obvious agenda to utilize the show’s theme to advance a particular view.
I really want the show to return. You need better ads to advertise. Great and different show! Exciting!
Love this show! I’m 57 yrs old, not media savvy. I do not watch much TV. Don’t cancel, ADVERTISE it!
I was very skeptical, saw a promo on THE CHEW. watched the 1st segment, I explained it to my husband, (Italian heritage) It’s like the Mob & Julia Child, many other Chefs. Great story line, great writing. GIVE IT A CHANCE
