What do you think? Do you like the Tyrant TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Love the show. Give it a chance and promote it.
This show is awesome, the creativity and colors story and showing how that world of dictatorship evolves is amazing. Please don’t cancel it…
Guess I’m the only one so far that thinks this show is terrible. Bad acting, writing, none of it works for me. Jamal sounds as if he has a mouth full of marbles. He clearly had terrible with English, yet the writers persist in giving him dialogue that only native English speakers would use. This show is a far cry from Homeland, even given its own weaknesses.
But, on the other hand, Jamal’s wife is incredibly hot. 😉
This is a GREAT show! It has depth and intensity. Something worth watching on TV. The characters are complex. You love you and hate them at the same time. This is the reality of life and real people with real life emotional demands. FX, please keep this going!
Loved first Season but 1st Episode of Season 2 was not what I was expecting. Great that they are developing other characters i.e. JAMAL’S son and his wife. Barry’s family seems bland. Molly’s sister is annoying. Hope Bassam gets a razor soon!!
Haven’t ween episode 1 of season 2 yet but it’s on our DVR. Season 1 was so riveting and well written, acted, and directed, that the show made it on my Facebook favorites list. It is the best show nobody is watching. If you love Homeland, Madam Secretary, The Americans, or just plain love good drama, you will probably love this.
I love it. Doesn’t have a chance for another season.
Watched the entire first season and loved it! I hope FX realizes they have a hit on thier hands! Just like already stated PROMOTE this amazing show! Don’t do like your other division Fox and cancel other great shows like BACKSTROM and others!
Agree. They need a wider promotion of this wonderful show. I’m so happy they renewed it.
Watched every show last season and the premier for this season. My husband and I both love Tyrant!
every summer show on cable is down so far this year. i don’t get it.
This show is OUTSTANDING!
It truly astounds me that shows that are intense in their depiction of other cultures with great story lines don’t rate well with the 18-49 demo. Please give this a chance and do intense promotion. I simply feel that not enough people actually know this is on the air or have even heard anything about it.
PLEASE PROMOTE IT DURING A SPORTS EVENT WITH A 2 min. TEASER!!!
Thanks for such a great show FX!
Love it! Keep this show going!
awesome beginning, had me on my feet can’t wait to see more.
