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. It is great to see “Opie” (Ryan Hurst) from Sons of Anarchy make a triumphant return to TV as the savant book keeper, Edgar Roy.
Definitely keep it. I love this show!
I would cancel. The show started off okay but then went downhill from there. The writing is weak to poor with the characters doing idiotic thing which are rather irritating detracts from the plot. Edgar is no better. I have stopped watching it.
Keep it for sure. These two work very well together and they deserve at least a shot at a second season.
Keep it. Nice characters, plenty of humor, good ensemble cast, literate, witty, a bit off beat. It might do better at an 8:00 or 9:00 timeslot since it is certainly not too “adult” for current TV shows.
Keep it Please!
love this show!…it’s a keeper…
KEEP IT! It’s a really good show!
Keep king and Maxwell.
Well written, likable characters,good blend of drama, humor. Yes, PLEASE keep this one on. Thank you.
Definitely keep it. It’s a very entertaining show.
Definatly one of the best new shows on any station. Clever writing and great characters. Acting is excellent making the characters beleivable Big mistake to no bring it back!
KEEP IT!! I hate when the good shows get cancelled…. It’s a good Show, the chemistry is good for all on the show… I LOVE IT!!!
KEEP IT!!! All the characters are coming together now, Edgar and Benny are great together. Sean and Michelle are getting closer and looking out for each other. They
still have a great backdrop story-line for next season.
Keep it. wasn’t sure I was going to like it at first but hung in and it got better every week. I think I was having trouble seeing Fritz looking scruffy.
