What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the AMC cable channel, The Son stars Pierce Brosnan, Henry Garrett, Sydney Lucas, Carlos Bardem, Jacob Lofland, Zahn McClarnon, Paola Núñez, David Wilson Barnes, Jess Weixler, and Elizabeth Frances. The series, which is simulcast on SundanceTV, follows three generations of the McCullough family and features the metamorphosis of Eli McCullough (Brosnan). The family patriarch, Eli, changes over the years from an affable innocent into a conniving killer.
After losing everything on the wild frontier, Eli rebounds to build a lasting ranching and oil dynasty and, in time, grows exceedingly wealthy. In flashbacks, The Son also recounts the relationship between young Eli (Lofland) and Comanche war chief Toshaway (McClarnon), who served as his father figure. Throughout, The Son delves into the rise of the McCullough family empire.

Telly’s Take
This show premiered to mediocre ratings and the numbers have not gotten any better in later weeks. Still, The Son TV show airs on Saturday nights and AMC has a few other shows that air on weekdays and are performing worse. The cable channel could easily cancel The Son but they could keep it around because they have Pierce Brosnan as a star. I’m keeping an eye on this one.

Great show
I loved the show, and I actually missed 3 episodes at the end because I changed cable companies, but I really want it back, nothing better than old time shows, new on AMC….
I really enjoyed binge watching this series and I am delighted that it has been picked up for a second season. Great acting and a riveting storyline.
Move it to another night or replay it on another night if ratings are a big concern. Good show and have liked PB for years. Too bad he’s waited on a dumb movie in another ABBA movie.
I am really looking forward to seeing season 2 of The Son!!! You had me hooked on the first episode. I can see this one really going the distance.
My husband and I are addicted to “The Son”. I recorded it on DVR and we are about to watch the finale. CANt wait for Season 2!
I highly recommend it! Pierce Brosnan is wonderful as usual and Sydney Lucas, an amazing new actress, is stunning as Jeannie McCullough.
The “Son” is an amazing series, loved it!! I can’t wait for Season 2.
Please renew it is such a great show
Renew. We enjoyed it.
Love the Son. Would be so disappointed if it was cancelled. I read the book and the series doesn’t follow the book very well but I don’t care. Simply enjoy the series and hope it will have several seasons.
Just watched the finale of the Son and can’t imagine how upset I would be if this had been cancelled. I’m upset I have to wait until 2018 for next season. I have a few questions I can’t wait to be answered. Love this show so much. Thanks for Renewing it. Like so many shows on the list of cancelled items that I really like I am so grateful this one isn’t ending.
My husband and I look forward to watching every Saturday night. We are looking forward to seeing season Two. Please don’t cancel it.
I have read the book twice and although the tv version varies in many instantces, I still have enjoyed watching it..Please don’t cancel it…
