What do you think? Do you like watching Murder in the First TV series on TNT? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Awesome show! Please do not cancel this show, it is a great show. So tired of all the good shows being cancelled and replaced with stupid so called reality shows. I’m almost ready to give up on tv completely. Please don’t disappoint the fans TNT.
Hope this terrific show is renewed! I read Taye Diggs has joined Fox”s Empire series — hopefully he can do both shows if Murder in the First is renewed!
I LOVE ‘Murder in the First’ and have since the beginning. I love it MORE every season. I don’t understand why it doesn’t get higher ratings. Maybe a little promotion or advertising would be helpful. I am really hoping it is not cancelled, but instead renewed.
Please renew Murder in the First. I love the show. The characters are great
Want to see Season 4 renewal. Getting to know characters now, good show and great writing!!! TNT needs to renew
Love Murder in the First! We want a fourth season
This is a great show. I don’t know why more people don’t watch. I don’t think it’s promoted as much as it should. It would be a shame to cancel it. I truly enjoy this show

The ratings are going down because the network is showing the same episodes back to back Sunday. It seems as if they are trying to stop viewers from watching.. I love this show!!!
The last 2 weeks drop may also be because of the Olympics…probably go back up in 2 weeks…
Superb series, excellent cast, writing and the storylines this season are so good, yet so were s1 and s2.
I have loved all 3 seasons! This show never disappoints.
I love this show! It’s great & I don’t understand why the ratings are so low. My husband and I are in our 60’s & it’s at the top of our favorite shows. Please watch this people, you won’t be disappointed!
One of my favorites too!!!
Want this show to succeed!!! I hope it has higher ratings on Sundays. Great show!!!
