Though it shows promise, Prodigal Son sidelines a spectacular Michael Sheen in favor of a more pedestrian procedural that often drifts too deeply into the grotesque. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Prodigal Son: Season 1
-
Really good fun and very addictive. It somehow manages to pull off being darkly atmospheric and funny at the same time. And showcasing some great acting.
-
Acting kinda sucks. Script kinda sucks. Story is still pretty interesting though.
-
A brilliant killer helps the police catch less brilliant killers. (See, Silence of the Lambs, Blacklist, White Collar, Manhunter, The Mentalist, etc. etc.) To make matters worse, every trace of edge is removed from every episode. Michael Sheen Carrie's the show and it's worth watching for his performances alone.
-
Very derivative. Cringy at times. Felt sorry for the cast Dreadful
-
Both Season 1 and 2 of this show were amazing! I love the entire cast - they could do humor and drama and suspense. Writing is smart. It seems that many solid meaty shows like this one are not renewed in favor of cheap reality shows or cheap game shows.
-
A gripping and compelling series from start to finish, Tom Payne's "Malcolm Bright" finally utilizes all of Payne's variety of phenomenol acting talent & is a perfect co-star to the utterly charming & deliciously sinister Michael Sheen's "Martin Whitly", Lou Diamond Phillips' strong & supportive "Gil Arroyo" & Bellamy Young as fierce & protective Mom "Jessica Whitly" stand strong & are simply refreshing. HBO Westworld's Aurora Perrineau, Gilmore Girls' Keiko Agena, Frank Harts & Halston Sage round out the cast of supporting characters, each making the characters so complex and completely their own identities that they feel familiar almost immediately. A show that carefully deals with mental health in a real & sensitive way like nothing I've ever seen, it is a remarkable piece of television, it must continue to another Season.
-
A unique look at a procedural cop show. The plot is fantastic, the characters are well rounded, the humor is dark & witty and the writing is sublime! There are twists and turns in every episode. And it's a masterclass in acting.
-
I thought this show was bizarre. Poor writing, thoroughly unbelievable. Nothing clever or entertaining about this show,
-
What an exceptional tv show! Does not belong on the FOX Network at all. Fox is run by morons.
-
Can't believe Prodigal Son is canceled - it's one of the best shows out there! Awesome cast, great twists and keeps you guessing through the whole episode. Please reconsider renewing!! #saveprodigalson
