What’s This TV Show About?
Picking up some 15 years after the movie, the Training Day TV show follows Detective Frank Rourke (Bill Paxton). He’s the maverick head of a special unit that hunts the city’s most dangerous criminals. When the LAPD brass notices Rourke’s penchant for operating in a gray area to fight crime, they assign heroic Kyle Craig (Justin Cornwell) to pose as Frank’s trainee, in order to spy on him and report on his off-book methods. The rest of the CBS cast includes Katrina Law, Drew Van Acker, Lex Scott Davis, Julie Benz, Christina Vidal, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste.

Telly’s Take
The ratings for Training Day were terrible right out of the gate and they haven’t gotten any better. The series had little chance of being renewed for a second season and now, with the unfortunate passing of Bill Paxton, I am sure it will end after 13 episodes.
5/17/17 update: CBS has cancelled their Training Day after once season. Details here.

Please cccc
The show isn’t over til the case is over and the truth need to be come out
So sad to see Bill Paxton pass. What a shock! So sudden and so soon. I’ve been a big fan for decades. My prayers to his family. The show though, even though I was skeptical at first, I loved it!! Well written and perfect chemistry between the actors. Sad that it can’t and wont continue.
We all knew the T.V. show couldn’t touch the Great movie, but I gave it a shot simply to see Bill Paxton. I’m glad I did! Not one of CBS best works… But loved the over the top, Dirty Harry way Bill played the role! The show could survive if they brought in someone just as famous and strong! R.I.P Bill!
Watching episode 13 now and it is so kickass. Actors, storyline, soundtrack are all incredibly entertaining. Please give this another season. I’ve seen other shows not nearly as good as this get 2nd and even 3rd seasons. I’ll be missing Bill Paxton. Don’t make us miss his TV series too. And include flashbacks of Bill’s character to remind us what a legend he was.
Most important… It makes me so very sad knowing that we will not see Bill Paxton again! He was a great actor & was perfect for this part! I absolutely love this series & it is correct that it was not advertised much beforehand. I believe that if it had then the ratings would have soared. It would not only honor Paxton’s memory either to continue or to use the same cast in a spinoff. Wonderful cast &boy did they click together. Bring it back to us. PLEASE!?!
i loved this show. Why is it that you guys always cancel good shows and just keep the one with high rating….which does not mean they are better!
Loved this show! Perfect ending! Perfect cast! So sorry about the passing of Paxton, but please let the show go on!
People it sure would be nice IF you guys would quit canceling these good shows, GIVE it chante, I REALLY like the show. Im looking forward to season two
I totally agree with Rose’s comment. So disappointed the show got cancelled. It’s a great show. I don’t think Training Day was advertised enough that it was on or it would have had more viewers. The team worked so well together. Of course Bill Paxton could not ever be replaced but the writers could think of something to keep the story going. This would definitely honor Bill. Though we’ll all forever miss Bill and his voice telling the story. Please bring Justin Cornwall back as Bill certainly “trained” him well along with the entire team
Just watched the final episode. Did not like the way it ended and especially now that I just read that the show has been cancelled. ALL the GOOD shows always end up cancelled. This was a REALLY GOOD show! I am sad that Bill Paxton passed away & loved him as an actor but the show COULD have gone on & I would be willing to bet that it WOULD be what Bill would have wanted. He would be very disappointed that CBS has cancelled the show. It SHOULD be kept going in HONOR of HIS memory!!! Just MY opinion!!
Keep Training Day going, Kyle needs to find out who killed his dad, and now the death of Frank
I love it but the main character bill Paxton died so now what
I love the show. Even with the loss of Bill Paxton I think it is a great show!
I hope you renew this show I love it and think you could make season 2 work. Thank you
