(Scott Everett White/USA Network)
The Suits TV show was a big success for USA Network and ran for many seasons. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the Pearson spin-off series. After a disappointing run, the show has been cancelled so there won’t be a second season in 2020.
A legal and political drama, Pearson stars Gina Torres, Morgan Spector, Bethany Joy Lenz, Simon Kassianides, Eli Goree, Isabel Arraiza, and Chantel Riley, DB Woodside, and Betsy Brandt. The Suits spin-off centers on Jessica Pearson (Torres) who, after being disbarred, left New York City for the rough and tumble world of Chicago politics. Now she serves as the fixer for the Windy City’s working-class Mayor Bobby Novak (Spector), who is up for reelection. Jessica is just trying to reconcile her competitive nature and desire to win with her goal of doing the right thing.
The first season of Pearson averaged a meager 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 513,000 viewers. Of the nine recent scripted series on USA Network, Pearson ranks last in the demo and in eighth place in viewers (just above Mr. Robot, which is ending). The 10th and (now) final episode of Pearson aired on September 18th.
What do you think? Did you enjoy the Pearson TV show? Are you disappointed that there won’t be a second season of this USA Network series?
There come a point when propaganda isn’t entertaining.
I enjoyed Pearson and I like Torres. There seemed to be one too many predictable story lines that made it a soap opera. A soap for the PC police. It just wasn’t subtle enough.
Enjoyed Pearson
Damn I am so disappointed great show writing and acting and totally different vibe from suits booooo!!!
Enjoyed Pearson
WELL JUST DAMN! I HATE IT WHEN THERE ISNT A ANSWER TO THE CLIFFHANGER FROM THE PREVIOUS SHOW…
It was growing on me and my expectations for escalating story lines were high! Disappointed 🙁
That’s disappointing. I really liked the show.
Great Show! Should have another season… Please forward!
I guess we are in a minority, but I liked Pearson and cast of characters. I DVR’d it, so I at least I can watch episodes again.
That’s a shame. Didn’t enjoy as much as Suits, but I was really starting to get into it.
Really enjoyed the show very disappointed
I did not watch Pearson because Suits had drained interest in the characters, which included Gina Torres.
That’s very unfortunate. I thought that this was a very well written, complex. excellently “acted show”. It was intriguing as well as intellectually stimulating. It’s too bad that so many others did not “see what i saw” and appreciate just how good a show it was… very disappointed that it was cancelled
I was really hoping for a 2nd season. Good story line.
That is really disappointing, really enjoyed this show.
I did also! Very disappointed!
