How well does Jessica Pearson adapt to life in Chi-Town during the first season of the Pearson TV show on USA Network? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Pearson is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we’d like to offer you the chance to rate all of the Pearson season one episodes here. *Status update below.
A USA Network 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 spinoff 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.

*11/1/19 update: USA Network has cancelled the Pearson series so there won’t be a second season.
I am sorry to see this show go. It was good. Great acting and story lines.
I’m so sad to hear “Pearson” will not be coming back. Just loved her change up from Suits. What powerful acting and writing! I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that left leaning NBC Universal would drop a great show that brought reality of Chicago politics into focus . I can hear all the corrupt polititions, from Chicago to Springfield, applying pressure on Universal to drop the series. They got their wish..
I really like Pearson. Please renew!
I really enjoy watching Pearson. Like Suits and now this spin off. Don’t watch to many shows so hope there is a Season 2. I have The Rival and The Fixer to view. Watching from on Demand since was not aware it started – not a usual USA watcher but have been since this show. Looking forward to Bluff City Lawyer as well. Recording this .
I love this show..I am a busy business owner but take time to get home on every Wednesday night to look at this incredible drama.Please bring Pearson back!
Need a second season. Very good show.
Love love love this show! It has all the elements that keep you HOOKED and wanting MORE!!!
This show is soooo good!!! Please please bring it back for season 2!! It is so well written, the acting is great & the storyline is so good each & every week!
Love this show to bits. It’s a whole new world. I need to see more of nick and Jessica next season especially nick, gosh Bobby needs to own up… I love this so different from suits. Its fantastic… Need season 2. ASAP!!!
I love this show, I thought it had all the grit and edge of any good USA drama and hope to see it back for several seasons. Chicago is a corrupt city show it should be able to run as long a Law & Order SVU.
Pearson is an amazing new series with superb acting and stories. I so very much hope it is continued for many many seasons to come. My wife and I own every episode ever aired of Suits, and Pearson is absolutely superior in every way imaginable to any other series I have ever seen. I love the class, style, caring, and compassion of these characters trying hard to do the right thing for the betterment of everyone. Their integrity and caring serves as a glowing example of how all public servants should be, and as such should be renewed in hopes… Read more »
I LOVED all season 1 episodes of Pearson…and loved all the characters..I sure hope it’s renewed for many more seasons. It’s about time they got a good one worth watching!
Well written, well acted, but “well” doesn’t save a great show. Only executive producers’ miracle will save this well-deserved show. So … I pray for that miracle.
My family loves Pearson. We hope there is a second season.
Pearson is terrific. My family watches and we all enjoy it. Let’s hope there is a second season.
