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?
I LOVE the show! Please bring it back!!
Bring it back. Had no idea what the show was about but watched first episode and liked it. Messed up on DVR and missed second episode then went to pick it up and it was gone. Need to let plot develop in the show.
I just want to see Chloe Sevigny on telly on a regular basis. She’s extremely easy on the eye 🙂
My wife and I really liked Those Who Kill and were shocked that it wasn’t given more
airings. Writing, acting, direction and suspense were all superb. A quick plug-pulling.
Loved the 2 episodes that aired. So terribly disappointed it was pulled. Bring it back, AETV!!!
Thought the show as very provocative and really enjoyed it and wanted to see where the storyline was going. Chloe is edgy and interesting to watch.
Hope it comes back. I was getting into it and now I’m up in the air.
I love this show! I can’t believe it’s not on, your going to leave us hanging like this? It was one of the best I’ve seen in a really long time. Very very disappointed!
I loved this show. I can’t believe it was pulled very disappointed the decision of pulling it
My sister told me about this show and I tuned in to on-demand and caught up on the episodes and now find out it has been pulled. My husband and I loved it and would definitely keep watching it. Please keep it on!
Geez, I like this show! I want to see the rest of the season, but I do agree that it should be on another night. I was having to record it at 1 am because I’m already watching 3-4 other shows at the same time.
I watched this for the 1st two episodes, thought it was great. I am sorry to find it has been taken off the schedules. Terrific writing and true characterization of the evil in criminals and the problems law enforcement has with personal demons. I hope they will bring it back! Cochise
Please put it back on, I dvr’d it and got Criminal Minds. Just because some shows start out slow doesn’t mean it won’t become a most watched in the first episodes. Give it a chance to find people. And by the way, what happened to Glades? Loved that show.
I adored the show, and had it set to automatically record. I hope the series is put back on, at 10 on another night. The network should give the show a chance to catch on, advertise a little more, but leave it at the 10 slot. I think the show has potential, and will draw in viewers gradually, look at the media now, everyone was looking for answers is to why it was gone…
I liked this show. It is on the same time as another show I watch, so I watched it on demand. I watched the first episode and went back the next day to watch the second episode and it was gone. Maybe air in the summer time would be better for this show, when other networks are airing reruns. Please at least show the rest of the season on demand.
never saw advertisement on this show – How many did they put out???? My husband and I definitely would have watched the first night had we saw the ad on this series. Instead, I watched on demand shows we missed. Now my husband says – where did it go……???
