A&E has dropped Chloe Sevigny’s drama Those Who Kill from their schedule after two episodes.
Those Who Kill revolves around homicide detective Catherine Jensen (Sevigny) and academic forensic psychologist Thomas Schaeffer (James D’Arcy) who work to solve crimes in Pittsburgh. Others in the cast include James Morrison, Omid Abtahi, Kerry O’Malley, Bruce Davison, Kathy Baker, Michael Rispoli, and Anne Dudek.
The new detective series debuted to 1.4 million viewers. That was less than half of its lead-in, Bates Motel, whose second season premiere drew 3.07 million. Then, in week two, just 830,000 tuned in to watch Kill.
Now that Those Who Kill has been pulled, the cable channel will shift Bates Motel to the 10pm timeslot. A rerun will air at 9pm.
Though the ratings for Kill have been very poor, A&E hasn’t cancelled it. Though things certainly don’t look good, they reportedly believe in the show and want to find another timeslot where it can build an audience. That day/time will be determined later. There are eight unaired episodes remaining.
What do you think? Do you like Those Who Kill? Will you watch when it returns or, do you think it should be cancelled?
Darn good show. I sincerely hope it’s not canned. It’s a rare gem, just change the time slot and promote the mess out of it.
The series did start a little slow, but by the 3rd episode, I was hooked. I’m really hoping for more ! I like the storyline and how it’s not just the same ole same ole CSI type of show. Advertise more, would LOVE to see this series continue. 🙂
This article is from March. LMN picked up the show. I thought the first episode was a little slow, but by the second, it picked up.
This is certainly one of the best shows on basic cable yet. Perhaps if it was moved to another time or day without serious competition it would get some legs.
This is a quality show with characters and storylines different than anything else currently on TV. It should be renewed and promoted more. I find it hard to believe it does not have a huge following.
Like variety in what I watch and this is different and enjoyable. So I would have to save give a chance ando not cancell it
acting action writing that keeps you guessing we watch together and both miss it where’s that next episode and the next ..needs a different slot ..first show razor action might have been a bit much for the faint of hart …I enjoyed our heroine in Big Love too
It was my second favorite detective show! After Criminal minds!!! ((((
keep it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved that show it should not be canceled
I loved this series…pretty pissed that it was gone after only two episodes. Please bring it back! Chloe is awesome and I love the dark twisted back story.
Love Love that show
how silly – who really knows how popular a show is. The channel mgt pulls series on and off at random with no consideration for the viewers. I though this was an excellent series. Prime time offers “shallow” series with nor story. As long as there is violence, sex and pretty faces they think it’s good TV. Those who kill had an excellent story.
We love Those Who Kill. Don’t want to see it canceled. Seems like all the good shows don’t last and some of the silly, stupid shows last year after year.
This sucks they always cancel the good shows. It is a little edgy for lmn maybe if another Chanel picked it up it would do much better
