TV show description:
A crime drama series with a twist, the Prodigal Son TV series has a darkly comedic tone. On the show, Malcolm Bright (Payne) is an extraordinary criminal psychologist who knows how killers think and how their minds work. Back in the 1990s, his father, Dr. Martin Whitly (Sheen), was one of the worst — 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 does this while dealing with an elegant and manipulative mother named Jessica (Young), an annoyingly normal sister named Ainsley (Sage), a homicidal father who’s still looking to bond with his prodigal son, and his own constantly evolving neuroses.
Malcolm 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.
Episode #33 — The Last Weekend
The search for a serial killer known as “The Woodsman” might help the NYPD find one of their own.
First aired: May 18, 2021.
What do you think? Do you like the Prodigal Son TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Why do they cancel the good shows and leave on the total garbage ??? PLEASE bring back Prodigal Son on another network. Fox doesn’t deserve it!!!
Please renew Prodigal Son for a season 3 on another network. It’s too good to end. There are too many unanswered questions. This show has the best writing and actors. Tom Payne and Michael Sheen rock!
Love this show !! Please do not cancel it !!
I agree this is the best show on tv.makes no sense ,they cancel great shows and keep bad ones
Why are they canceling this? By far, the best show on tv currently! The only one worth watching!
Look forward to watching this show every week. One of the few really good shows on television.
Please don’t cancel it’s one of the best shows on TV
I am so disgusted. Yet another wonderful show filled with wonderful characters portrayed by the perfect cast – Cancelled.
Keep the series and the story going!!
Awesome show!
I’m very disappointed that they are deciding to cancel.
This show has gotten better each episode. It’s the only “network” drama we watch, as most of our viewing is HBO, Showtime or other pay network dramas. This is up to par of one of them. The cast is terrific, the storyline pulls you in & builds. 1st season was great this 2nd season has been phenomenal!! If they cancel now I’m done with network dramas. The ones I get into tend to get canceled 1 or 2 seasons in, which is when they’ve already hooked you. So disappointing if there’s no season 3.
Love the show please don’t cancel!
please renew great show
I can’t wait to see the prodigal son
I love the show i am glued to the tv
I can’t wait for next week see what happens what happen at the finale
Come i can’t wait to talk about it.
Please, for the love of god, GET RID OF ALAN CUMMING!
I want to continue watching, but I cannot if he remains a part of the show.
I just love the series!!! Don’t stop!
