Tonight, TNT airs the last episode of King & Maxwell’s first season. Should the cop series return for a second season or should it be cancelled instead? Is it a ratings hit? Cancel or keep it?
King & Maxwell takes place in Washington, DC and revolves around a pair of former Secret Service agents (Jon Tenney and Rebecca Romijn) who’ve become private eyes. Co-stars in the series include Ryan Hurst, Michael O’Keefe, and Chris Butler.
The show debuted on June 10th to 3.52 million viewers with a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That was a very positive start. Viewership fell 21% in week two but climbed back upward in later weeks.
A couple weeks ago, King & Maxwell nearly matched its premiere with 3.39 million and a 0.5 demo rating.
While the new show isn’t as popular as Major Crimes (4.82 million) or Rizzoli & Isles (5.66 million), it’s nearly matching fellow TNT dramas Falling Skies and Perception (3.53 million apiece).
Though they haven’t announced it yet, I suspect that TNT will bring King & Maxwell back for a second season.
But, what do you think? Does King & Maxwell deserve a second season? Or, should it be cancelled to make way for something else? Cancel or keep?
Keep it! I am addicted to this show…
We love it! Enjoy all of the cast.
Please keep the show, great characters and interesting writing.
Keep it! I love the Edgar character, it is good to see someone who is psycologically diverse treated with respect, and not just humor or tokenism. It is great to see Tenney get out of his cookie cutter role on The Closer. The “undercover” nature of being a PI lets him have fun with lots of different characterizations. But, if any TNT writers are reading this, do not, do not, let Sean and Michelle fall into love or even into bed!
Yes. Please keep this show. It’s storyline a is interesting and the actors are great. I’d hate to see it cancelled!
I most definitely think that this series is a keeper, well written, well acted and the bonus is at least they have her wearing real clothes/shoes as opposed to running around with high heels( because there are/were shows depicting women like that think CSI Miami) and seriously lets not forget the jewel in this….EDGAR ROCKS
Keep It!!! Love to see the banter of the two actors! Great plots and fun to watch. Plus, Edgar is a GEM!!!!!!
Defenatly keep it
Bring it back. Most refreshing new series in quite a while.
Love the show and the characters! And so does my husband. We both think it’s one of the better series on TV. But the season was so short that I was afraid it was a series finale. Hope to see it come back.
Keep it! One of the best shows on TV. Not enough people know about it. My husband and I both feel that the local channels are missing the mark by not showing more series like King and Maxwell and Major Crimes. Love them both
Definitely one of the best new shows and I agree totally with Christine. My husband look forward to it every week and am sorry this was the season finale cause we could have seen a lot more. The characters are wonderful. Would like to see more Katherine Bell as well.
Yes. My wife and I watch it every week. Very entertaining and fine acting. Edgar is a great character.
Definitely bring it back!
I love King and Maxwell – I bought the series on Apple TV. It is one of the best And most original shows on TV. It provides entertainment, Action, actors are fun to watch, and it’s not violent, which is such a change of pace. It is a taste of old Hollywood – it’s fun. interesting, & actors are great. Production is fabulous. Please hang onto this gem.
