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 really enjoy this show and ho[pe it is not canceled. I think the cast is very good and it probably a lot like life was during that time period.
renew please
Renew!
excellent show. Hope it is renewed!!!
I’ve been enjoying it very much and purchased the book this past weekend when visiting Mt. Vernon. Doubletree didn’t have the AMC channel but I didn’t worry as I knew I could watch it on Xfinity On-Demand when I got home. I’ve watched episodes several times enjoying the series more than most things now showing on TV. We also visited Williamsburg this month but did not notice anything about the series being promoted there. I sincerely hope AMC further promotes the series, particularly to history buffs. The acting is very good! The only (only) fault I found was in the… Read more »
A great historical fiction show, so much better than most of what’s on television today.
Well acted with realistic character development and exciting plot twist and turns.
Second season please!
I absolutely LOVE this show! I am not a person who lives by what is on TV or when, but I am always looking forward to 9 pm Sunday nights since this show premiered! I have alsways been fascinated by the Revolutionary war and love that there is a series about it finally! Please renew this show AMC! Work harder to promote this and keep it going!
My husband and I love the show. It is about a part of our country’s history that few people know about or our children learn about in school. We really hope you will give it a chance to develop a following. Please bring it back!
Overall I enjoyed the series. I would have liked a little more action and a lot less explicit bedroom scenes. The story and history can stand on its’ own. I know of more than a few of my friends that have echoed the same concerns about the unnecessary sex scenes. Perhaps that is the reason or at least one of the reasons, the ratings have slowly dropped. It is a great untold yet important story. I never knew about the Culper spy ring.
I don’t understand the few comments here about the “gratuitous” sex scenes — this show has FAR less sex scenes than most of what is on TV! The only steamy sex scene in my opinion (and we have 2 episodes left on our DVR to watch) is the one where Abe and Anna are alone in Abe’s kitchen and the British soldier interrupts them. And even that was fairly tame by TV standards. This doesn’t concern my husband or me at all.
Love this show. Please bring it back
Turn is an excellent TV show. However, it has been slow to ramp up and it has not been until the last two episodes that it has really caught fire. The season finale is probably one of the finest endings to a season I have seen for a TV series in a long while. I fervently hope the show is renewed for a second season.
This is an amazing show! Please renew it AMC!!
Cancel it suckz
It has been a wonderful show with great characters and exceptional acting. PLease keep it! Let people learn a little history!
This is a Fantastic show!
AMC needs to promote it further.
I hope they are smart and have a second season.
