Prodigal Son Reviews & Ratings

Oh this looks like fun! Martin Sheen does evil in such a seductive way that draws you in. And his son, the lead character, has so many issues I can't wait to see emerge. Too early to tell, but I suspect this series will be a great combination of crime, personal demons, family machinations and betrayal. Looking forward to watching more episodes .

Not an especially original premise, but the first episode does show some promise. Good acting, nice chemistry, and I admit I kinda want to see where it goes.

If I could give this 0 I would. I want a program that tells me a story without the gore, the blood, the disgusting crap that is all they put on tv and movies. I'm sick of it. They take off the Village, but put this on??????? Give me something to watch that I won't puke over! If I wanted to see this I'd work in the ER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus from TWD dead looks weird without the beard and hair. Sheen needs to calm the F down and the broad that plays Jesus's mom is only 13 years older then he is. The show is a hot mess.

This show is great. It has you from the first episode. It is very dark for a network show so I would not recommend it for younger viewers.

This show gives me a bit of a 'White Collar' vibe. I quite enjoy it. I do however hope the second season is going to come with a twist and will be more focused on the main character himself instead and the case he is presented with instead of his relationship with his father. I don't mind the occasional appearance, but the continuous cry for help will get dull. I also hope it brings an end to the girl in a box backstory and this will not continue to spread across multiple seasons. All in all it's a good show and you'll get hooked pretty fast.

I am still watching .... aided by the power of fast forwarding and because i want to see when the scenario will allow dad to be released from jail , pitted against his son while mom serves them Sunday morning pancakes .
Because nothing is too unrealistic for this show .
1 star for dad ... 1 star because if i don't give it two star totals i will have to stop watching it .

I liked the idea for this show. My expectations were too high though. Too bad they went formulaic. Might as well watch The Mentalist or some such. Same same. The lead actor , Tom Payne, over acts. Bellamy Young plays his mother. She has amazing breasts and the show never lets you forget it. Grrrr! LOL

The acting is good, but the story is weak the son would not be asked to help the police as he can't seem to solve anything without his fathers help. They would go straight to the father instead. But all said we will still watch the show to see if it does improve. It usually takes 3 to 5 episodes to get the actors comfortable, when they start a new series.
In to the 5th episode and the show getting much better. Starting to enjoy it now. More excitement and suspense. Upped to a 3.5
