What do you think? Do you like the Tyrant TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I love Tyrant, last night’s episode was gut wrenching.. I definitely cried as Samira took her last breaths. I wish more people would tune in, I’m afraid with these ratings it won’t make it to season 3. I love how all of the characters have their own story lines and their own take on what is going on in their country. No 2 characters share the same opinion if you notice.
Loved first season. Was hopeful to see how season 2 would unfold. So far through 7 episodes the show is gone from bad to worse, to i can’t believe i’m watching. They keep adding useless drama. The president suddenly has a ******* son he never knew about, Bassam has gone from a Doctor in California to Rambo. He’s like a go go power ranger now that’s fully capable of wiping out everyone.
Adding useless stories have damaged the credibility or hype of the show. The writers have completely killed. Would be very surprised if it gets another season. –
I have to agree with you about last nights episode. It was like a filler with no substance and kind of went off track. I hope they are going somewhere with this.
Great show. Please set up for season three. This is our favorite tv show. Very compelling
I love this show. So refreshing and also so compelling with what is going on in the Middle East. Please keep it going FX.
I love this show. So refreshing and also so compelling with what is going on in the Middle East.
This show is phenomenal!!! Love it!!! The issue they have is not enough exposure. FX needs to market it to get more viewers. People will love it if they really know about it and watch h it!!! Get it out there!!
This second season is great. The plot is now very current and identifiable with what is going on in the real world. Every week when the hour is up I can’t wait for the next episode. It’s a great story and has great potential for a long running series.
last night was the best episode so far.
Love love love love love love the show. The best show ever! I really hope it will be renewed for another season.
Love, Love, Love the show!! Its our families favorite and would be very disappointed if it got cancelled!
Love this show – compelling storyline, outstanding cast, and incredible cinematography. Addictive.
Love this show especially the actor who plays Jamal. The pace of the show seems a little slow so far. It should pick up once both families are under the same roof again.
I like the show very much. I think the lower ratings are due to the amount of time between the first and second season. It was just way to long and people forgot about the show or move on. You just can’t wait one year and expect the same number of people to return and tune in!
I hope the show doesn’t get cancelled. Maybe change the night of the week or time it is on. It
might do better at 9:00 Pm instead of 10:00 PM pacific time. I think MORE advertizing for the show is needed.
Tyrant is a PHENOMINAL SHOW!. Yes, it’s about a ficticious middle eastern country, but the issues they deal with (measured and equal retaliation vs. disproportianate illegal chemical response) are playing out as we speak.
This show is VERY STRONG and I hope that FX commits to a third season and will promote this program with ads during sporting events.
MORE PEOPLE need to know about this incredible show. Thanks for renewing it for season 2!
I Loveeeeeeeeeeeeee this show! I hope the ratings pick up and d show continues
Love this show! Hopefully FX sticks with it.
