Prodigal Son centers on Malcolm Bright who has a gift. He knows how killers think, how their minds work. Why? Back in the ‘90s, his father was one of the worst–a notorious serial killer called "The Surgeon." That's why Bright is the best criminal psychologist around; murder is the family business. Bright uses his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with a manipulative mother, annoyingly normal sister, a homicidal father still looking to bond with his prodigal son, and his own constantly evolving neuroses.

This has now been cancelled. I was really invested in the story. Michael Sheen has been a delight to watch over these 2 seasons.

Yeah, just got done reading about that a bit ago, right ticked me off, one of the few really decent shows on the tube now. Hoping someone picks this up, was really getting interesting, wanted another season at least, see how this panned out, was a few storylines in this that were going places.

Fox sucks big time! They literally cancel everything. Look at the current line up and its abysmal(nothing to watch). We’re going to be left with a big cliffhanger with no resolution. When the new season was annouced earlier this year with only 13 episodes, I had a sinking feeling…

ARE YOU SERIOUS!!! If it’s because of the producers, they are idiots. This show has so much potential and has proven it. I’ve always been excited to watch and couldn’t wait for the next episode. And just when I thought it had mellowed out..bam! there came a twist (now with this thing with sis-so curious). I hope it’s immediately picked up by a wise network. I can’t believe I’m really upset right now. But thanks for the heads up.

It wasn’t the producers yet the ‘network’. They delayed it, put if off for weeks so they interrupted the flow and the viewership. Whenever you do that to a show it really hurts the ratings so, blame the Network more than anyone. Just sayin.

‘PRODIGAL SON’ has been a really enjoyable story, sadly only one more episode next week and it’ll be over :( Michael Sheen is wonderfully crazy-looking as the serial-killer Dad, Tom Payne, Lou Diamond Philips, a strong cast with interesting characters. Each ep there’s a case to investigate sure, but there’s a strong ongoing story arc continuing throughout as well. There are also at least two bangin’ surprise endings that really slam you when they happen.. There’s gentle humour happening too. I shall miss this prog when it’s over, but may well go back and watch it over again from the start, pick up on details i missed the first time.. it’s well worth a second look, ..or a first, if you like a good police/ serial-killer/ character-driven story, if you haven’t seen it yet. Recommended :))x

I am pissed off, and yet I am hoping HBO MAx gets it back and it flourishes there for years to come. This show has a fanbase, and on the right network , it would be a hit.

Killion 3 points 5 years ago. 5/5 stars.

Straight to favorites!! I’m hoping this turns into a dad help his son become a killer instead of helping him solve murders. For now, it could go either way. This was only the first episode so it’s impossible to tell…..

Season 2, Yay, DELIGHTED!! :))x

ObserverMI 2 points 4 years ago. 5/5 stars.

‘RENEWED’ for Season 2!…… Bring it on!

Can you say DEXTER-like or DEXTER-ish?

Another, genius that helps the NYPD ?? seriously?

Odie 0 points 5 years ago. 4/5 stars.

Kinda seems like a Hannibal rip off slightly. Though could be interesting hopefully it just doesn’t turn into the usual police procedural.

Alien 0 points 4 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

I knew there was something off about Eve. Yeah, yeah. Everyone says that in hindsight. But, I did.

There’s a good chance Prodigal Son will be renewed. I don’t think one more episode is enough time for Malcolm to work out his daddy issues.
Hopefully, if there’s a season 2, the show will dive even deeper into Malcolm’s own psychopathic tendencies.

I hate that I love this show so much.

Does someone know if there is an episode 8 coming for season 2? Thanks!
