Greg Kinnear has found critical and box office success in movies but that’s no guarantee that his Rake TV series will be a ratings hit for FOX. Will it be renewed for a second season or will it be cancelled instead? We’ll have to wait and see.
Rake follows a lawyer (Greg Kinnear) who tries to do good but just can’t seem to get beyond his numerous addictions that cause him so much trouble. The cast also includes John Ortiz, Necar Zadegan, Bojana Novakovic, David Harbour, Tara Summers, Miranda Otto, and Ian Colletti.

What do you think? Do you like the Rake TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
My husband and I truly enjoy watching and laughing at “Rake”. Greg Kinear is the perfect actor for the goofy, yet lovable, character he portrays. It’s a clever, well written show and the supporting cast is great. Give it a chance. Promote it more, show clips, whatever it takes to keep it on.
LOVE RAKE!!! I watch movie central fx showtime amc really love RAKE cannot understand people watching network dramas and missing this beauty!!!!
Love “Rake”. Look forward to it every week. I do DVR it because I like to watch when it is convenient and I can totally enjoy it. I wish that would count for something because I’m sure I’m not the only one. We 50 somethings need shows like this. We need a laugh and good story lines. Not all programming should go to the 20 somethings. Keep it on and give us a chance to enjoy it longer.
I love RAKE. It is one of the best television shows on. It has alittle bit of everything and is every entertaining and funny. Greg Kenear is a great actor! He plays this character to the detail. How can you ask for more? With so many shows that are the same old same stuff, this show has so much more in each and every eposide.
Please give it a chance. Some shows just need a “good” chance. Give it a decent time and day! On Thursday with who is was up against, please. Now, Fridays?
Greg Kinnear lacks charisma and not believable with the role he portrays. He appears to try so hard to be likeable. He is unable to maintain the audience’s attention. The plot of the series is good but the protagonist, Mr. Kinnear, does not have the caliber to demonstrate the intricacies of the role. There is a very high chance that this show will be AXED soon prior to airing the first complete season.
This show is very well done. The writing is superb! The ensemble of actors are excellent!! Please keep it on TV!!! Gotta have more of RAKE!!! I have been telling everyone to watch… and it doesn’t disappoint!
I agree!
This is a funny, great show. I love it, keep it on.
Leave “Rake” on! It’s funny and a morality tale at the same time. Hope it can build an audience.
I believe it could ….if given a good time and day.
My wife and I love this show! It’s very well written, and the characters are great. So much happens in every episode.
I love Rake. It’s one of the smartest and well written shows since House. Do not cancel or I will boycott Fox.
leave rake on !! we all love it. Don’t need anymore murder, vampire, or reality shows; rake is fun with a story. A down to earth lawyer.!! who really helps people!!
A nearly three dimensional character at the center of comedic drama that follows a refreshing formula-definitely something I’ll make a point to watch before most other things. Far less hollow than most of the crap I watch after a long day!
I couldn’t find in for the last few weeks. Very few shows I watch for each week, this is one. Not sure why I like it, but I do enough to watch each week.
I love Greg Kinear and the show Rake. I hope that it stays on!
Love this show !!! Don’t cancel !!
My husband and I love the show .It is hilarious!! Please do not cancel!!!!! It is refreshing there entirely to many reality shows and serous crime shows we need some humor back on tv. Thanks, vicki and charlie!!
Love it! Clever, don’t want to see it get cancelled.
