What do you think? Did you watch the first season of the Ransom TV series? Do you plan to tune in for season two of this CBS TV show?
I loved that show!!!!! I have been waiting and waiting to see it come on the likes were 93%people liking the show….get it back on…..please
So ???? Is there a release date yet???
I’m so thrilled to see Ransom return for season 2- Had it not been for the Sat. night time slot, I’m sure it would have had better ratings- Sat. is not the ideal day for tv shows, especially new premiers- Just give it a different day and see what happens!!!!
Very happy to hear about a second season of Ransom. It deserves a better chance with so advertising and a more prominent time slot.
WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SHOW! Did they not anticipate that when people see the name Ransom for a TV show they think it is the movie Ransom and so don’t watch it! We missed the first couple episodes for this very reason!!!
Loved this show. Hope more people give this show ago I couldn’t stop watching it and always left you wanting the next episode and then they leave it on a cliffhanger where his daughter is taken. Not fair! So glad we are getting a second season
This show was fresh, smart and different from any other show on tv. Hope viewers watch season 2 and keep it going.
Yes love this show hope it comes back for another season
