What do you think? Do you like The Bastard Executioner TV show? Do you think that it should be renewed for a second season?
YES!!!!! Please renew The Bastar d Executioner for a second season!! It’s become a weekly ritual for our Tuesdays to watch it and we missed it terribly when it skipped a week. I love the story and the characters, how they all have such a different story to tell. I love this show and really see good things for it in the future.
Best show I have seen in a long time. Season 2 must play out. Finally a show with everything. A story line great characters and action .
Please renew for a 2nd season!
Pls second season
Please renew The Bastar d Executioner. The characters are well defined, the settings lush, the plot very well written. It deserves more seasons.
Yes we need season 2
The Bastar d Executioner is amazing. I can’t wait for season 2!!!
Please, Please, Please, you must do a season 2! I look forward for this every Tuesday. FX, you MUST continue this story..
Please renew this show. Sutter has delivered and this is one of my favorite shows. I loved the Sons and watched it every week.
Omg. How can anyone not love this show. Who decides these ratings. All of our neighbors make a night of this show. So tired of these brainless reality tv shows. We need more shows with depth and perception.
It should absolutely have another season…just getting started..fabulous.
Gotta have a season 2, give it a chance to play out the story lines. As the season progressed i coulded wait for the next episode to see where things were going. Kurt Sutter is an excellant writer and i can only see the show getting better!!!
This is my favorite new show of the season and one of my favorite shows on this fall new or returning. I eagerly anticipate it each week and missed it the Tuesday of Twilight movies. I very much hope it is renewed–the story grows more interesting with each episode, and I have faith that Sutter will deepen and broaden the story and characters as he has more time to develop his tale next season .

Yes! It’s my favorite show!
Season 2 is a must. Let it play out. So much potential with the story lines. Must keep it moving along however. Agree need to develop characters a bit before killing them but all have served their purpose thus far. I have no problem with the acting. Lady Love is awesome and will get down with Wilkin before long. Moyer is simply amazingly evil. Gotta finish off that a-hole arch deacon though. Give it a chance FX!! Sutter will deliver!
