What do you think? Do you like the Perception TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
I absolutely LOVE the premise around Daniel’s disability and the fact that he’s a professor and can “function” (with some assistance). He is a wonderful actor… As well as Lewiki, but for some reason the Kate/Donny thing seems to be taking away something from the interest of the audience I believe. Perhaps it’s time for them to happily go away and introduce a replacement for Kate (another female, blonde of course like his delusion (I’ve forgotten her name)). Then get back that “closeness” that he and Kate shared. I personally feel this is a big part of why the ratings… Read more »
Please do not cancel Perception! It is one of the better shows out and certainly one of the more intelligent, informative, and entertaining. Great cast, great series. Please don’t let it go!!!@
Give it another chance! I know it can do better!
If this show gets cancelled, I’d probably spend two weeks, crying my eyes out. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This show is so great there’s no need to cancel it !! Really love this show. He’s such a great actor and so are the other , don’t know why some like the boring shows rather than the interesting shows ?? This is a very great show …..:) 🙂
Please do NOT cancel. It is one of my favorite shows. It beats a lot of the main network shows. Interesting plot line.
Just watched the first season, absolutely brilliant. Especially enjoyed episode five called Messenger. I hope the other seasons are just as good.
love love love this show.
Episode 03-06:
You gotta be *******’ me.
“My BABEEEEEEE”….fer chrisssake….
Where is Sally Struthers when you really need her?
I knew this was getting soapy when Barbie and Ken’s relationship started interfering with a MYSTERY DRAMA.
But, holy **** !
How lazy can writers get…to have a kidnapping ?
Next will be a HOSTAGE……or maybe a TICKING BOMB.
Hire some REAL writers, or lose all the audience.
I stumbled onto this series quite by accident and watched the first two season in a bit of a marathon over 3-4 days. While the premise and the actors did a exceptional job the writers need to rein in their “pet causes” if they want to attract as many viewers as they polarize. I know the “Hollywood” mentality is to be edgy but only my real enjoyment of the show allowed to to continue to watch it in some instances. I review books as a hobby and rule #1 in reading for entertainment is “Never talk about politics, religion, or… Read more »
watched a couple of episodes in year one and stopped because I couldn’t stand the overbearing sanctimonious self righteousness even with the pet causes I supported. Tried to watch last week and turned it off. Based on the poor ratings I guess I’m not alone.
I know more than one person who felt like the show presented a “if you don’t agree you are ignorant/stupid/etc” and refused to watch it after some insulting storyline. I hate this because it really is a great program but the writers are killing it slowly but as I said before it seems to be getting out of the hotbutton political type issues and more into things like health issues (mental and other) but it may have already offended so many people it can’t recover since lot of folks (like you) will not recommend it to anyone for good reason.… Read more »
Hahahahahahahaha, Hollywood, edgy, hahahahahahaha, you’re funny.
Uh, and you are not ….
This show is like Longmire to me: one that I look forward to every week and will not miss for anything. I know there is a lot of dislike for Scott Wolf in the online fan community but I don’t have a problem with the ex-husband coming back. If anything, I think him being around for a while could do even more for the friendship between Daniel and Kate. If Donnie falters in their relationship again, I’m sure Daniel might have an analysis or two about him. lol I see Donnie as a way to cause trouble down the line.… Read more »
great show! Please renew
I started to lose interest towards the back end of seson 2 and this season is worse, I’m afraid.
Don’t know if it’s the introduction of the ex husband or the fact that the 2 main characters aren’t really partners any more that’s the most significant issue, but the charm has definitely gone.
The season is off to a great start…. I love this show.
GREAT SERIES…..VERY ENTERTAINING AND WELL DONE…..
