Murphy, Sarah White, Sarah Sweeny, Ethan Griffiths, and Ross O’Hennessy.

What do you think? Do you like The Bastard Executioner TV show? Do you think that it should be renewed for a second season?
My self an husband really enjoyed it. Hope it comes back. Would like to see more of the story.
Why would you cancel????? I have seen all episodes of season 1……this is the best show to come FX
Love this show!!! No!
This is an amazing series. Don’t cancel it!
Nooooo! I love this show don’t ****** cancel it!
We are anxiously waiting to hear when the second season will start. Dont cancel this show it is one of the only shows that has imagination, adventure, and all the various characters lives were formed in the first season. We needed to understand them to appreciate their roll. We are looking forward to see how things play in season two.
Very disappointed to see this show may not be picked up for a second season. I really enjoyed the comedy relief in the season finale.
Seems todays viewing audiences cannot grasp the concept of “building a storyline”. They want to know how, what, why and when…all at once, or at least within the 1st few episodes. A show that truly makes you wonder about the how, what, why and when is what gives me the desire to keep on watching. I had my fingers crossed that this would be a show that I could enjoy for many seasons, and can only hope that others feel as strong and do whatever it takes to reverse the decision to end TBX.
Great show. You cancel everything.
Please renew,my son and I love this series, needed better advertising , we just ran across it, great show
Please renew BE for a second season. It took a while to develop the characters and the story but it just started getting really good! Lady love and Wilkin, and the whole Nazarene bloodline plot. Loved it!!!
I love this show, don’t cancel it!!!
Loved TBX. Really, really want a second season. I think the episode time in the beginning were off, should have it on after Fargo or weekend. However, I would watch any day. Please bring it back. Great cast, great story, more backstory on supporting characters, fate of Wilkin and Love. Yes, yes, yes.
I love this show! And I want to see more of it for sure! Do the cable ratings count the viewers who DVR their shows and don’t watch it the night it’s shown? Please don’t cancel this beautifully written show!! I’m so sick of the good shows being cancelled… Pisses me off, the bad ones are renewed!
Awesome series….. Disappointed fx is canceling it!!! Sutter is an amazing writer with an edgey style most others lack!
