Is it a crime to stop watching the first season of the Prodigal Son TV show on FOX? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Prodigal Son 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 season one episodes of Prodigal Son here. *Status update below.
A FOX crime drama series, the Prodigal Son TV series stars Tom Payne, Michael Sheen, Bellamy Young, Lou Diamond Phillips, Aurora Perrineau, Frank Harts, Halston Sage, and Keiko Agena. Malcolm Bright (Payne) is an extraordinary criminal psychologist who knows how killers think and how their minds work. In the 1990s, his father, Dr. Martin Whitly (Sheen), was a notorious serial killer called “The Surgeon” who killed at least 23 people. Since murder is “the family business”, Malcolm uses his twisted genius for good, to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers. He works alongside his longtime mentor, Gil Arroyo (Phillips), and two detectives — no-nonsense Dani Powell (Perrineau) and JT Tarmel (Harts), a born-and-bred New Yorker who questions whether Bright is a psychopath himself.

*5/21/20 update: Prodigal Son has been renewed for a second season on FOX.
It is one of the best shows, so I guess they will take it off, please bring more this show also has some of the best actors.
I love this show! It’s as good as Silence of the Lambs and The Bone Collector!
I love the actor and actress who play in it!
Please don’t cancel this very good show !
I love this show. I love everything about it. Acting is fantastic and storyline is unique and so well done. I feel kind of bad for the father, weird, I know but he is just so darn likable. PLEASE do not cancel this.
I couldn’t agree more with you Pamela!
Not only is the cast’s acting superb but Lou Diamond Phillips is better than ever and Tom Payne’s acting was tops in the Walking Dead and now in this role he’s proving what a versatile actor he is.
I hope that they don’t cancel this show before they really give it a chance to show how great it really is!
Please another season., love the show
Interesting show. It is really smart, the way the human mind and its pathology is kind of being taught thru this show. The characters are “real” and the father, you know, the “Surgeon” really portrays his part very well. Don’t cancel; we need a show like this.
I love it! Great show. Should not be cancelled!
Love the show I will watch it forever!!
This is a fantastic show, the episode after christmas was just like a Rollercoaster it was great.
Please Fox do not cancel this show.

I agree
One of my favorite new shows. Great cast as well.
This is one of my favorite shows, great story line with lots of twist and turns, definitely not boring
I lost interest in this show in the season 1 episode 2. Don’t watch it.
Omw really..Prodigal Son was excellent. Definitely can’t wait for Season 2. I loved it.
Unlike what we usually see in a show, we have to pay close attention to avoid becoming lost. It’s not just a weekly show you can watch, or not, and still know what is going on. It’s a serial and needs what I’d call dedicated viewers. I’m one of those.
Me too!
Hear Hear! I cannot wait for the following week to see what’s going to happen.
