What do you think? Do you like the Perception TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Please renew this series for another season!! This is on of the best who-dun-it murder mystery TV series that has ever been on the air, not to menton, the psychological angles presented as well, which makes for an even more enjoyable puzzle to solve each week. This show needs more publicity by your network. Also, have you considered the way you televised Season 3 this year could be a reason for it’s drop in ratings. As I recall, the current season started last Fall and then it rather disappeared without warning, for the remainder of the season to be picked… Read more »
A show foe people who have intelligence and it gets cancelled? Another contribution to the dumbbing down of America by cancelling thought provoking shows like Perception!
I’m so disappointed this show has been canceled. I’ve only recently started watching and have just caught up. I love watching the story play out, and trying to figure out what’s going on. I hate that it’s going to end soon.
I too wish that Perception would be renewed but feel that it is too late for that call. It doesn’t need the gore or sensationalism, like so many other shows have, to make it interesting. It is thought provoking and entertaining. I will miss it.
I really love the show and hope that tnt reconsiders or another network picks it up.
Please don’t cancel Perception. The plots are thought-provoking, the characters are interesting, and every about it is well-done. We look forward to this show ever week, and will miss it! Please reconsider your decision!
I really hope Netflix will pick up this series. It’s so worth it. I absolutely love this show!
Perception is a great show and the TNT show is stupid for for not renewing perception.when the take away perception the are going to bring another stupid show that no one will watch. They should renew perception for a fourth season
Please do not cancel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Great show!!!! My new fave….
I really love Perception but I was unaware that it was back on the air. It is the only show we watch on TNT but since watching the episodes on IO we have found other shows that look interesting. Please bring it back and advertise it on other channels so we know it will be on. This is a great show for educated people. There aren’t too many of those anymore. We love Eric Maccormack and the rest of the cast. I promise to watch more TNT programming if you do !
Perception is a very “smart”, well scripted and cast show. It is intriguing, thought provoking, and current. This show is worth the time to watch, and deserving of continuation. Perhaps they need to rethink the demographic before deciding to cancel. As an 18 year old I don’t think I would have been interested, as a 47 year old when it started I loved it.
I really like perception. Please don’t take it away!!!!
I am so tired of these TV stations canceling shows I like for stupid reasons. Please do not cancel Perception. It is a great intellectual series
I totally agree!!!!
I agree 100%.
Just once I’d like to think there was something I could do to uncancel Perception. I have tried to email TNT and I never heard back from them. Perception is great TV. It doesn’t matter if there could be a strong fan base if supported properly. TNT didn’t support this show and that is that. I’d talk to other networks if I thought it wasn’t a waste of time.
Perception, is an intellectual show. Don’t cancel
