Really liked The Bastar d Executioner. I wonder if the title turned some people off as it it did my spouse? Sorry to see it go if it is not renewed.
Poor marketing… excellant show!@@ 2nd season please
I am beyond devastated hearing that Bastar d Executioner is being canceled. This series is by far the most entertaining, well scripted show I have had the pleasure of watching. Please continue with Wilkin’s unexpected journey. I am emotionally involved . Please dont cut us off. It’s a brilliant script and an incredible plot. Im a huge fan. There are many fans. Don’t let us down.
Renew! Excellent, historical, period piece with a touch of fantasy.
Was introduced to this show by a work colleague. It immediately became my most anticipated show of the week. It was something outside of work that my colleague and I would talk about weekly. A unique storyline with interesting characters that catch the imagination. My concern is that FX and the creator Kurt Sutter needed to give the show more advertising. Accident and or word of mouth is not the best way to find out about a show like this.

Unbelievable!!! This was a excellent show! Nothing else on like it. I’m very disappointed I also am done with FX.
The fact that this was cancelled gives me even less hope that the entertainment industry has any desire to make quality entertainment over flares that pay off in the billions. I get that bottom lines are the do-all-end-all to business but come on…this show has a remarkable, untapped potential. Giving up that easily eh? Well, it looks like I am done with FX as a result. Completely disappointed that this show will not be continuing.
I truly think that the Bastar d Executioner is a great show and should not be canceled – Kurt Sutter made FX so much money with Sons of Anarchy and should give his show a chance – Great show Kurt Sutter – Just Saying
I would like a second season of The Bastar d Executioner. As with any new series you have to commit to watching several episodes before giving up. By midseries I could not wait for the next episode to air.
Not to many shows out there, that both me and my husband, liked watching together. This sucks and now we are left with unanswers questions as to further . I truly liked Bastar d Excutioner
i think its wrong to cancel such a fine show such an injustice.. its all about timing… i think its just not on at the right time of day for those working late hours.. does it also cover video watches or in demand watching.. another great injustice for the people that love the show!!
Yes! This should absolutely be renewed. This is just the type of series that will do better in the 2nd season when new viewers have had a chance to to see the first season. Not to mention those of us who have see every episode want to find out what happens!
I really like The Bastar d Executioner. I do not want it to be canceled.
