RIP to Prodigal Son, literally the only network TV show I watch. I can’t believe Fox has cancelled it! Boo! Tom Payne & Aurora Perrineau have lovely chemistry together. (It’s also possible the show will be picked up somewhere else, which would be great.) [Pajiba]

    I really think Irina Shayk’s outfit looks awful

    • FHMom says:

      The whole look is awful.

    • bettyrose says:

      Hate that shade of pink but otherwise love the cut of the suit and the whole look. I’m curious if it’s generational. I went to college in the early 90s and never really stopped dressing like it.

  2. Caroline says:

    I was devastated about Prodigal Son! It’s silly but it’s super enjoyable and I loved the cast!

    • Myjobistoprincess says:

      I didnt think it was that good. The trailer was so horrible. It was so overplayed, I thought it was a joke. Might give it a try then…

      • Vavavoom says:

        We tried it. We lasted 1 – 2 episodes. I love Sheen, and the lead actor was crazy cute. I also loved “Mellie” from Scandal on it as the mother. But the writing was so cheesy. 🙁

    I really hope netflix picks it up.

    • fluffy_bunny says:

      I’ll add whatever streaming service picks it up because I love it so much.

    • MissMarirose says:

      I do too. I liked the addition of Catherine Zeta-Jones as a foil to Michael Sheen and I was hoping they would have a scene where they just start speaking Welsh to each other for no good reason (just because both of them are bonkers geniuses). lol

    • Heat says:

      I agree. There are so many ways the show can go.

  4. HeatherC says:

    Fox has a history of cancelling good shows, sometimes not even rating dependent, and keeping the awful shows (That are often a ratings drain!)

    • Det20! says:

      To this day it is a miracle that The X Files survived its first season. Very un-Fox like, thankfully.

    • The Recluse says:

      Yep, like Lucifer, which is about to air its final season on Netflix…yay.

  5. chimes@midnight says:

    I really liked the first half of season one of PS, which was filmed of course before the show aired. When the back half of season one came out, it felt like they lost the relatively good story-telling and interpersonal relationships in favor of really contrived crimes of the week like the ballet murderer and the whole Count of Monte Cristo episode.

  6. c8h10n4o2 says:

    I’ve read a couple of places that it’s cancelled because Michael Sheen was quitting, and it’s not much of a show without him.

    • fluffy_bunny says:

      They could have had Bright kill him and deal with the fallout. And he would have been 1 kill away from a serial killer so he would have to grapple with that.

  7. Keats says:

    Thank you for covering Kirby Howell-Baptiste and her dress! She’s in so many projects I like and she seems like she’s so fun and lovely

  8. Zen says:

    How do you pronounce Tuulikki? Is it like Two-Licky?

  9. Coji says:

    Michael Sheen elevates anything he’s involved in but as much as I adore him I still can’t bring myself to watch Twilight

  10. Christine says:

    I don’t understand why the entire planet is not into Michael Sheen like I am. He could get me excited at the reading of my junk mail.

    • Anne Call says:

      Watch Staged. Amazing show with Sheen and David Tennant.

      • damejudi says:

        Yes! I recommend watching Staged to everyone. So funny, and I definitely felt Sheen’s charisma. Originally watched to fangirl Tennant, but it ended up being competing, coexisting crushes.
