NBC has had great ratings success with airing The Blacklist after The Voice, their biggest series. Will State of Affairs be a hit as well? Cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
State of Affairs follows a top CIA analyst (Katherine Heigl) who assembles the President of the United States’ Daily Briefing (PDB), weighing the vital security issues that face the nation. She has a close personal relationship with the commander-in-chief (Alfre Woodard) as she was once engaged to the president’s now-deceased son. The rest of the cast of this dramatic thriller includes Adam Kaufman, Sheila Vand, Cliff Chamberlain, Tommy Savas, and David Harbour.

KEEP THIS SHOW!!!!
Love this show..Sorry Nick is gone. He was great. Hope it is not cancelled.
Keep this show coming!
Love this show. I’m not a TV series watcher but I really enjoy this show. Dont cancel.
Have been watching the Black List since the beginning, and I too like state of affairs much better!! So do other people I know as well. I DVR the show, then watch when I’m ready. Do your ratings reflect that count? Most people do that these days. Don’t make a big mistake and cancel a great show. PLEASE
Please renew. Great show. Great writers and cast. Big mistake if you cancel!!
Love the show. One of the best. Love the twist and turns. Great cast. Great writers. Do not cancel. Please renew!!
Really lousy. Don’t like and acting and plot are strickly b grade.
The writing is for the most part spectacular. The scenery and shots are awesome. This is a high end show that needs some development, but certainly worth it . My biggest issue is that Charlie needs to be more of a “real” person and character- clothing, hair, etc. to be believable. She seems to not fit in with everyone else or CIA presentation with her hair and clothing choices. She also needs more failure and flaws. The rest of the show, characters, and writing is SPECTACULAR and this show has amazing potential to be a hit for years, pending a… Read more »
I never watch Tv and this show has caught my eye. I love it,it’s the first tv series I’ve ever watched or cared to watch. I don’t understand why it has such bad ratings. I want it back next year.
they are ending the show close to two months early. when the show should end in may.
the show is done, and its sad because i enjoy the show.
But the reason the show didn’t do well and this is a fact. people do not like Katherine Heigl.
I personally like her but it is a fact that she is one of the most hated actresses, because of her attitude and personality.
Its a shame though because the show has a real good story line and great plot with alot of action.
Wow, plenty of positive comments here – reading this section could make you think it’s on level with Homeland or something. Devoted fan base, but sorry guys this show is average at it’s best and very poor, generic for the rest part, low ratings and dropping tendency prove this will likely be not renewed. I think more creative show should take SoA spot, not yet another take on CIA, president, affairs, spying etc. Too much of this.. I usually like this kind of shows, but only when it has top quality like Homeland, The Americans to keep me interested.
I LOVE this show! First show of its kind to portray the story of the relationship between the CIA daily breifer & the P.O.T.U.S. Great storyline, plot twists, action, scandal, & mystery. Excellent acting. I’ve been looking for a good TV series for some time, & this one is IT. I definitely want this show to be renewed for a second season. I just starting watching The Blacklist, & it seems pretty good, but I like State of Affairs better.
I absolutely love this show.The whole cast is fabulous and the stories are gripping. I look forward to watching every Monday. Please renew for a second season
I love the show. Hope that it will come back next year.
