This evening marks the season finale of the Turn TV show on AMC. Will it also be the series finale as well? Will this drama get a chance to grow in season two or will it be cancelled after one short season?
Taking place during the American Revolutionary War, Turn follows a group of friends who become spies and help turn the tide of the war. The cast includes Amy Gumenick, Angus Macfadyen, Burn Gorman, Daniel Henshall, Heather Lind, JJ Feild, Jamie Bell, Kevin McNally, Meegan Warner, and Seth Numrich.
The show debuted on April 6th to 2.12 million viewers. In week two, the series dropped 12% to 1.87 million and week three dropped 25% to 1.40 million. Turn has been dropping nearly every week and has fallen to a low of just 1.08 million.
Will the show be cancelled? It’s difficult to predict what a cable channel like AMC will do because they have so few scripted series to compare. It’s certainly not positive that the ratings have dropped but they aren’t nearly as low as Low Winter Sun’s from last fall. Plus, last week’s debut of Halt and Catch Fire didn’t do much better with 1.19 million viewers.
AMC could go either way with this one but I suspect that it will be renewed for a second season. We’ll have to wait and see.
But, what do you think? Have you been watching? Should the Turn TV series be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I’ve been watching it. The historical war segments I can follow. I like the personal relationship issues. But the actual spy story is very hard to follow. Hard to know what is going on. Love how Washington is portrayed.
Good acting, good camera work, good sets, and unique tv story. But, hard to follow story line, lots of confusion in the script. Often can’t tell the good guys from the bad guys. I vote for a 2nd season to solve the negatives.
Renew! It’s a great show and very original which takes time to catch on.
PLEASE let the series to grow. there’s nothing on televisin like it. some better writer’s ,and historians to help research for the writer’s. they never let shows I like this stay longer. it stinks how they never let a show stay on in less it about fictional monsters. it dose shows how are educational systems has want down the toilet. it’s so sad to see it do so. just bring back the show for those who want to see another season please.
I believe the show should run at least one more seaso . This has been one if the best historical dramas I have seen since Band of Brothers. The show makes a focus more towards the loyalists than the continentals, which in it’s own right makes the show less desireable, yet thrilling to see what happens next with the spy ring. I am excited to see where this show leads us in the next season.
I really can’t wait!
Please renew Turn. It is excellent television
This is a good great show, especially for history buffs. It should be renewed and I believe that word of mouth should increase viewership.
Please, please do not cancel. I wait every week for the next episode. Quality cast and story line based on history. Love that Williamsburg is doing a Turn spy events too.
Great story. Great acting.
Sure hoping for a 2nd season. This could be a great one
Figures because I love this show too and even bought and read the book the series is based upon !! Both are awesome and a fascinating look into what it took during those difficult times of our Country’s founding .
I like the show, the only problem is it doesn’t get anywhere. It’s progression is too slow and it seems like nothing ever gets resolved. I’d like to see it renewed, but it has to get some where fast. And will you please kill off Simcoe, I can’t stand him!
One of a kind show. Prehaps a different night and time would pull in more viewers.
I hope they renew Turn and develop the storyline more. Just don’t put it on at the same time as Salem.
I’m loving this show.
This period of time gets so little play, and the story line, even with the poetic license altering history a bit, is excellent.
I look forward to several seasons of TURN.
