We (as a family including my 15 year old son) love this show! I can’t believe it is being cancelled. It makes me so sad. I hope that another network will pick it up!
I really enjoy this show, please keep it for another season
Perception is one show has helped bring to light and take some of the stigma away from issues like mental health. Please keep this show on.
I think the show should contiue with more information being ghiven about the brain and its capabilities. The show is great.

I’m heartbroken over Perception not being renewed! There are so many shows that could and should be cancelled but Perception is NOT one of them. It was brilliant and a truly unique take on schizophrenia. Its just a shame 🙁
Really? You based this on 18-49 yr olds? No wonder you misjudged the show’s popularity. Those kids don’t watch tv. Figure out your audience and revive Perception. Wait….that is a lot to ask of imbicils
Agree
i thought this show was terrific. so sorry to see it has been cancelled. ewe will never know what happened to Kate.
Perception is an intelligent show. There are not many shows like this to choose from on television. I hope you will consider re-airing it. The characters were all good, the plot was intriguing.
Perception wasn’t given much of a chance. 5 episodes one year then a few episodes , 6 months before that. The ONLY way one could watch it, is if they happened to catch it, then program thier DVR to record it. Otherwise, it was hard to catch the show. TNT did very little to let viewers know that it was on.
Excellent point. I looked forward to the 2nd and 3rd seasons. By the time the tack on episodes were aired the following spring… The season momentum was long lost
I cannot believe TNT cancelled Perception. I loved this quirky show and Eric McCormack was awesome as Daniel! Every week we watched we would discuss at the lunch table during work. MANY of us loved the show. This stinks.
We really like Perception and are disappointed that TNT isn’t trying to save it. Say it isn’t so!
We are big fans of Perception and are very disappointed that TNT is not going to renew this show. Say it isn’t so!
We love Perception! Do not drop this show!
My husband and I love this show! Unbelievable that TNT would cancel. I am hopeful another network will pick it up. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TNT!!!!
