A timely mystery drama thriller, Shots Fired is a 10-hour limited series which explores the tense aftermath of two racially charged shootings in a small North Carolina town.

Telly’s Take
Although FOX has billed it as both an “event series,” and a “10-hour film,” if Shots Fired scores in the Nielsen ratings, smart money says they will find a way to bring it back, perhaps as an anthology drama like ABC‘s American Crime, or American Crime Story on FX. After all, the networks never worry about my nutritional needs. I will keep an eye on the ratings but, at this point, I don’t forsee a second season.

What do you think? Were you hoping that the Shots Fired TV show would be renewed for a second season?
I look forward to every Wednesday night knowing “Shots Fired” is coming on. The show has so much relevance to what truly happens in society today. As a white woman in a interracial marriage I see so much hate and racism in the world today. Seeing this show sheds true light on how things should be handled. Ashe and Preston are truly gifted actors. Seeing where that story line goes would make for an interesting second season. Please reconsider the cancellation of this series. It would be a mistake.
I love “Shots Fired”. I watch it on Fox Demand so I hope it counts. It’s a good show maybe another network will pick it up.
