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.
What do you think? Do you like the Red Widow TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I love the show a lot, I cannot wait for Sunday night to come!!! Please don’t cancel the show. It’s a great program. Red widow projects strength and tenacity. It’s what a lot of people could relate to in times of adversity.
I really like it. It may not have had the best start but there is plenty of room to grow.
They also have an awesome cast that acts really well.
I really enjoy this show. I too think it should have been advertised/promoted better. Worth renewing compared to most of the Sunday drivel on tv. Keep it!
I love this show marvelous story line that’s has me on the edge for exciting enterinment throughout this whole season.
I love this show! Please keep it on the air =] This show is so awesome and it is a show that I would love to continue to follow. This show is a great thriller, I jump almost every episode, I am always on the edge of my seat. I love the cast and how the show has played out so far. Luther is very sexy and so is Schiller. Please continue to wow us viewers with another season.
We have watched from the beginning and love it, and look forward to it….actors are terrific, story line is great, different…..I love the actor who played in Hell on Wheels and is the lead actress’ ‘dead’ husband……would love to see that show back on again and hate his demise came so suddenly….anyway hope to see Red Widow on another season….love, love, love…
I love this show! Think it is one of the best on the network. Just don’t think they advertised it well.
Keep it going have a second season. This should have had huge ratings. I can tell you the reason why didn’t: 1) When you ran the pilot you did not say or advertise when it would start if you did advertise it was very little because I was waiting for it to come one and googled and found out i had missed 3 episodes. 2)There is nothing on Thursdays @ 10pm better than this show. So again advertise (also advertise on different networks like they did for The Following which is also my fav show on Mondays.) 3) To fix… Read more »
Love the show!!! Please keep it going
Great show , don’t cancel.
Keep it going, it’s a good show and keeps improving.
It’s the Sopranos with a woman lead. You go, girl!
If you don’t keep it, sell it to one of the cable networks, let them keep it going & reap the rewards. The viewers will find it & follow it.
love this show especially the sexy man ,who i don’t know what his name is, but he compromises her. I dvr everything like most people do because we get to watch a lot more shows this way.
I LOVE this show! It’s my favorite, please keep it!
