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?
I get the feeling it’s too little too late but I’ll add my plea to everyone else’s. .This show is smart, clever with great acting. How refreshing. Cancel it and replace it with some dumb*** sit com…which I by the way won’t watch…I always have my Hgtv.
My wife and I both like this series a lot.
I really hope they keep this show around. It got better and better every week.
Rake is a really solid show. Someone compared it to House which has occurred to me as well. The whole cast is brilliant, Kinnear especially. I’d like to think FOX will give it a chance but after seeing them run two episodes back to back on a Saturday night I don’t hold out much hope.
Fabulous Show!! Love the cast, and plot lines. Very entertaining! Excited to watch it every week.
Great show and getting a lot better week after week. Please keep Rake on the air. The characters needed time to develop and we needed time to invest in them and the story. Everybody on the show is fantastic!!
PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE don’t cancel RAKE–1st show
my husband and I have enjoyed together in years. The acting
of everyone of them is superb. The writing is great and life
can get just this icky!!! Give it some time to get a following–
we have recommended the program to a few of our friends and they are hooked!!! PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE save
RAKE!!!
Why does FOX move good shows around in time slots. I think Rake could be a good show with a respectable viewing audience if it is given a chance.
Exactly, always moving them around and making it hard to watch, LOVE the Show! I have DVR set in case they move it.
Please find a time slot for this awesome show, advertise it, and give it a chance!!! I love the show, Greg Kinnear, the characters. The storyline is unpredictable and fun. FOX, please don’t cancel Rake!
Keep Rake on TV! It is a very good show. Kinnear is brilliant.
I have been watching this show every week.It reminds me of one of my favorite shows,Boston Legal.It is just as quirky and original.Please do not cancel it.It seems good shows get canceled while crappy ones survive.FOX just needs to figure out a better time slot and day to show it.
I really hope FOX gives RAKE enough of a chance to find a following. It is a quirky show but a really good one. I watched the Australian version and agree with the writer above that the American version is a little watered down, but a show doesn’t need nudity and the F word to be good. Come up with some original cases for Kee to defend and keep it on the air. PLEASE
I really enjoy Rake. I am a huge fan of Greg Kinnear so I pretty much like anything he is in. I would hate if this show did not return for a 2nd season. I think the story lines are surprising and entertaining.
Omgosh, please don’t cancel “Rake” my husband and I LOVE it. I can’t figure out why people don’t love it…..
“I can’t figure out why people don’t love it…..”
Probably because they’ve seen the original Australian version, currently streaming on Netflix 😉
It had the makings of another House if it was left alone in it’s time slot but I imagine the geniuses at Fox couldn’t see that. Another truly great tv series flushed due to ignorance in the programming guru’s at Fox.
Rake is a pretty good show. I like it because it shows that no matter how screwed up his life gets, he is a darn good lawyer. It will probably get cancelled (if not already) due to the shows it runs up against and people have a lot of viewing options on Saturday nite for it to do well. I think would do well as a summer replacement show. I have watched the Aussie version and it is quite good; makes the US version seem a little watered down.
