The Protector was a great show, I and my family enjoyed it. Please, we need you to reconsider the canceling. “We want The Protector Season 2 back” “We want The Protector Season 2 back” Thank you. Chiluv and family
I thought there was finally hope for Lifetime. The Protector was a great show sure hope someone reconsiders….of course Lifetime can always go into their full loop of reruns ad nauseaum of The first 48 or America’s Most Wanted
i’m tired of gettting into shows and after one season they canel it. it makes me wonder if i should get into the new shows because they probably will get cancelled anyway. that is a shame
This is so sad. My family loved this show. I think Ally Walker and Tisha-Campbell Martin are both great actresses and make any role they play believable. I do not understand why good shows like this are cancelled. Is there any chance of being picked up by another network?
please bring them back!!!!
who plays Det. Jack Brennan in The Protector?
What a shame, Just discovered this great show and thought Maybe LifeTime was more intellegent than NBC, FOX and ABC and would give great shows a chance. Guess I was wrong. To bad as was just starting to watch more shows on this network but if they can’t show more intellegence than this will not watch anymore.
