The Broadchurch TV show was a success in the UK so FOX decided to remake it here — with one of the same lead actors. Though Gracepoint is being promoted as a limited series, FOX will surely want to make a second season if it’s a hit (as is being done with Broadchurch). What do you think? Should it be renewed or cancelled?
Gracepoint begins when a young boy is found dead on an idyllic beach in a small northern California town. The tragedy and media frenzy soon turns neighbor against neighbor as the police try to figure out what happened. The cast includes David Tennant, Anna Gunn, Michael Peña, Virginia Kull, Madalyn Horcher, Kendrick Sampson, Nick Nolte, Jacki Weaver, Kevin Rankin, Sarah-Jane Potts, , Stephen Louis Grush, Kevin Zegers, Jessica Lucas, and Nikolas Filipovic.
The show debuted on October 2nd to a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.76 million viewers. It was a poor start to be sure and the series was in fourth place in its timeslot. The second episode dropped 25% in the demo to a 0.9 rating with just 3.8 million viewers. It seems likely that tonight’s episode will perform even worse.
Even though FOX is really struggling right now, these numbers are already terrible. There’s very little chance that they’ll consider bringing Gracepoint back for another season. Fortunately for the viewers who are watching, the season finale should wrap up the show.
Will the network cancel Gracepoint before all 10 episodes have aired? There’s a chance but it seems unlikely considering the state of the rest of their schedule. If they do drop it prematurely, they’d surely release the remaining episodes online.
But, what do you think? Are you enjoying Gracepoint? Will you watch until the end? Would you consider watching a second season with a new mystery or is 10 episodes enough?
Very flat all around. Found my interest waning in the last episode. Don’t think any of the characters are compelling enough to warrant 10 weeks investment. Acting not up to standard either. Secondary characters very amateurish, especially the hotel owner, father, plumber assistant and the two journalists. Of the leads, only like the mad old lady and the mother – she is really good and so much better than any of the others. The two detectives are both very stilted and the Carver has a really poor American accent as well as being completely unlikeable to the extent it is… Read more »
I love this show….it’s my fav. Only show I watch on regular TV. Otherwise it’s the cooking channel or HGTV.
Please keep Gracepoint on !! Such a terrific show !
I think this show should stay.I love this show,the story plot thinkins’whoo would want to do that to a child or is the family into something but the mother.I Dont know but keep the show.
Enjoy the show very much. It’s nice to see a serial “who done it” on network TV without the language, sex, and nudity of pay cable TV. Bring it back!
I hope this show will be cancelled. Bad acting (even from Tennant), exactly the same like Broadchurch, including most of the dialougues. Just a bad copy. Can’t get it why they had to make a “new” version of Broadchurch. Especially after such a short time. The only good thing on this is that Tennants accent is easier too understand than his original scottish which he was allowed to use in Broadchurch.
I gather you didn’t watch it this week, as it was completely different from Broadchurch.
Love the show..never saw broadchurch but read that gracepoint is supposed to be different after episode 4…hope they atleast finish the 10 episode run
Episode 4 was completely different.
Love the show ! Would be very disappointed if it was cancelled !
Finally, a show with interesting characters in an interesting place with a horrible death. I hope it continues!
Please do not cancel love the show
I hope this show is not cancelled. It has my complete and total interest and the only new show I chose to follow this fall season. The acting is amazing, the storyline is great, the relationship between the characters that Anna Gunn and David Tennant play is mesmerizing and I can’t wait to find out what HIS secret is, not just who killed Danny!
I think abit more promotion may have captured a bigger audience, but it’s a hard call.
So, Fox: Please don’t cancel this show! It deserves a chance:(
please continue! A very good series.
No don’t take it off, this is one of the few shows i have to watch. It really is a mystery as to who is the culprit. Just when i think i have figured out who did it and why something or someone changes my mind. At least this show makes you think and pay attention, that is more than i can say for a lot of shows.
I think it is good. I like the suspense of trying to figure out who did it. I will watch all episodes. ,
Please don’t cancel! It is a wonderful show and something different! We are trying to figure out who did it! Definitely would watch more of these 10!episode shows -they are so intriguing!
