What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the NBC television network, Taken stars Clive Standen, Jennifer Beals, Gaius Charles, Brooklyn Sudano, Monique Gabriela Curnen, Michael Irby, James Landry Hébert, and Jose Pablo Cantillo. A prequel set thirty years prior to the Liam Neeson feature film trilogy, the Taken TV show follows the young, hungry, former Green Beret, Bryan Mills (Standen). After a personal tragedy upends his life, he embarks on a quest for vengeance. While working as a CIA operative, Mills hones his infamously lethal skill set. He works for Special Deputy Director of National Intelligence, Christina Hart (Beals), and alongside his OPCON teammates Dave (Cantillo), John (Charles), Becca Vlasik (Curnen), Scott (Michael Irby), and Rem (James Landry Hébert). Finally, there is attorney Asha Flyn (Sudano). Beautiful and motivated, she reconnects with Bryan at a critical point in their lives.

Telly’s Take
The series premiered with mediocre numbers and the ratings have gotten much worse — despite having The Voice as a lead-in. I suspect that the Taken TV show will be cancelled and not renewed for a second season.
5/9 update: Thanks to international sales, NBC has renewed Taken for a second season. Details here.

I just binged in Taken, watching all the episodes in three days. I usually don’t like shows with lots of violence but this one has me completely hooked. Please renew it!! I want more.
Please don’t cancel Taken. I love it, Get rid of a stupid reality show. This is a 5 star show. One of best on TV!!
Please DO NOT CANCEL Taken…..All of us at work and at home are totally hooked on it…..
One night I was bored and promised my bf I wouldn’t watch any dvr shows without him. Remembering an ad for TAKEN, I decided to go to On Demand and check it out. The pilot had me hooked and I binged watch 7 episodes. Please, please don’t cancel it.
Renee TAKEN it’s clean exciting and had that gorgeous Jennifer Beals.
I love the show taken, it’s exciting and a really great show and I hope it is renewed for a second season!
My favorite show !!! It’s the best , great cast & story line. Pls don’t cancel. Or give it to Netflix
I am so in to the TV show Taken. I would be very upset to see such an awesome action show get canceled. I can not imagine watching anything that could possibly replace Taken. PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL TAKEN!!!!
The story line, the actors and the idea of a secret government agency out there makes a great show. Again, please, please do not cancel Taken. I love this show!!!
I agree! Love this show.
CDO not cancel Taken. I love the suspense of this series and would be greatly disappointed in NBC if they can’t see the value if this show on their venue.
I really hope Taken is renewed for season 2. I love the suspense of this series a nd would really be disappointed in NBC if it gets canceled.
Like the show but it seemed like a very short season. The other problem for me is the lead who is always angry and emoting.
I say give it a chance. I like the characters and all of the episodes except for tonights, they couldn’t just let the good guys win, at least for the end of this episode. We’ll see the episode next week, if it is more of the same I will be disappointed for sure.
It’s a very good show with great acting. Therefore NBC will cancel it as they only keep garbage anymore.
For real!
Please don’t cancel this show all the actors great. Don’t do it
