Note: These ratings are collected by the Nielsen company and are the final national numbers. These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings and are reported on by most other outlets. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.

Like the Red Widow. Would like to see it renewed for another season.
I think the show has possibility, They need to fix a few things and I would be willing to help. I would really like to see some of actors play out their story lines. Get a new producer o new producer but keep it on the air. Please and thank you.
P.S. If they do cancel the show….will we ever find out who Marta ends up with. Schiller or her body guard?
Love this show and I think that it gets better every week! Please renew for season two!
Love red widow please renew it!!
Its just getting really interesting! Enjoy watching it!
Loved it. Shows are cancelled these days too fast. Not given enough time to really be able to know if it’s good or not.
Please the viewers, by keeping this series going..It’s the best and the time is perfect…
Love this show. Can’t wait to see how they develop Marta as a character. Want more on what Mike has gotten everyone into.

Liked it. Hope they give it a shot.

I think with a lot of these quickly cancelled shows,the networks ought to consider (as they did back in the day) concentrating on making these so called”series” into a tv-movie. When you stretch a great or fair concept into a series , the story line can sometimes get old real fast. Some of these shows would work better on the big screen, than on the small screen.
Cable quality and edge – Check the Red Widow Facebook page and see what people are saying. They loved it.
Didn’t like the show. It “glamorizes” organized crime and drug smuggling. The FBI agent and his heroin addicted girlfriend were the only “interesting” characters.
loved the show a lot of action
