If anyone at Fox actually pays attention....this is for you. Cancelling Prodigal Son was a HUGE mistake. I hate y'all so much right now. POUND SAND.

As far as the episode....brilliantly written and acted...I can't even properly articulate how magnificent everything was. KUDOS to the cast, crew, writers, and everyone EXCEPT the dumpster fire team who cancelled this amazing show.

Fox us totally run by a bunch of idiots. What were they thinking about canceling prodigal son? People love that show. Good luck getting people to watch your new shows. If they don't succed, then that is on you, Fox. Fox Sucks.

This was a really good episode. Showed the strengths of most of the characters, had an understandable ending however, it still does leave a space for it to continue IF someone SMART would pick it up and keep it going.

It's not often, especially these days, that I find a show I really cling on too and look forward too. It had humor, drama, Great characters and an abundance of them, terrific writing yet, it seems FOX tv is notorious for screwing with schedules of good shows then dropping them like good is bad for them, how Moronic. Being bought by crap Disney didn't even change that.

Well FOX...I'll think 3 times before I EVER get invested in one of your tv shows because you have a habit of pushing for the crap while neglecting the fruit.

Now.....go F yourselves.

I loved this episode just as I have loved every other in the series. The ending was so exciting, but because they cancelled the show, I will never get to see what happens further... PLEASE DO NOT END THIS SHOW.

I am so intrigued by this show 😍 waiting for the next plot 🤔 😍 👀 😳 This is the kinda show that keeps you wanting to watch more 😉 such a 👏 amazing show. I just watched the last episode 😭 💀 😢 😳 😩 😪 and now I am hearing 👂 😳 😐 they wanna cancel this show that it is the season finale 😢 😕 not renewing. I don't understand how good shows get canceled but stupid 😒 🙄 shows can go seasons i don't get it ,why cancel a show that has such a great plot , ratings, good actors and actress. Why stop now huh 😒 @ least make a season 3 and let's us get that at least u can't just go and end it that way , its unacceptable. WANT ANOTHER SEASON PLEASE!!!!!!!!

I've been a fan of the show from the beginning, but this might have been the best episode yet. And then I discover it's been canceled!! How can they let it end on that note?! Someone please pick this series up. I'm looking at you, Netflix!!!

Cancel the best drama on network TV if not the best show on Fox? Then keeps the dud Call me Kat with Maiyam Bailak. Seriously who's in charge of programming at Fox? Hopefully Netflix will pick it up like the did with Lucifer.

Like I said in the title: the series has to get renewed. The writer's are really cruel for leaving us hanging like this.

It was brilliantly acted. The humor was actually funny and not forced. The tension kept me glued to my seat the entire episode. All my love and kudos to the crew, team, actors and writers.

I recommend everyone to watch this incredible show. Please renew!

I loved the season 2 finale! I half expected the episode to end the way it did but when it happened I was still surprised! The acting, music and writing was so skillful and talented, it blew me away! I really hope the show gets picked up for season 3 by another streaming service or network!

I usually struggle to keep going with these sorts of procedural shows. I understand the logic, the idea is syndication, so you have to be able to watch them out of order and still have it make sense but by the same token, you've seen one episode of "House" and you've seen them all. "Prodigal Son" is one of the few I've made it through but, by no means, would I recommend it that you went out of your way to do the same.

Having covered up his sister's murder of Nicholas Endicott, with the help of his father, Malcolm Bright (Tom Payne) is struggling with his guilt. Ainsley (Halston Sage) doesn't remember committing the crime, with her subconscious having blocked it out but that knowledge is beginning to affect other areas of her life. Feeling that work is the best chance of pulling through, Malcolm returns to the NYPD and the cases come in thick and fast.

The stuff to admire from the first season remains here. Michael Sheen is at his bombastic best, imbuing Martin with a sense of humour and some emotion, but always able to drop the black eyes and become a threat again. This season he gets to do several scenes against Catherine Zeta-Jones, who joins the cast as the Prison Doctor, which are fun when they're flirting in the earlier episodes. Keiko Agena remains standout comic relief and I like the will they/wont they of Malcolm and Dani - even if it is a bit of a cliché.

I didn't like some other aspects. Still it's too rote, with the cases hinging always on some moment of genius deduction from Malcolm. I didn't like the fact we went to both Ainsley and Malcolm's former schools for episodes and I also didn't care for the shoehorned in racism in the police story, do that properly or not at all, don't gesture vaguely in its direction and then run away.

I knew the show was cancelled before I started to watch this run but the ending does, sort of, work as a conclusion for the show. Unless your tolerance for these sorts of shows is much higher than mine though, I'd suggest that life is too short to spend it on this one.

Am routing for the Surgeon , I mean 25 years in a loony bin , then his own son , screws him by solving the woodsmen killings. Brings the sick killer out of his dad , by making the guy tell him where the missing woman is.

Am trying to be a good father , yes he was nougat and pancakes like a trip down memory lane , going to Vermont with his screwy shaky son , nice.

The sister goes from the Orville to Prodigal Son to being unemployed.

The mother and Gil end up getting married , opening up a turtleneck sweater shop.

Malcolm ends up at Clairmont in the same room , where his dad occupied for years , and his girlfriend Aurora visits him on the weekends.

Frank and Keiko end up as private detective and coroner solving murders .

Martin Whitly and Frank Gallagher end up on the mantle at the Alibi.

The spoiler is that Showtime ends up getting the show for a few seasons , cause everyone who loved Prodigal Son , said the cliffhanger was major crap.

After Cooley gave up where the girl was , Malcolm and Martin move to Alaska ,and open up a fishing lodge and both father and son go after emigrating murderer's and get justice for all that were brutally murdered. ( By killing them in the lodges basement ). Like father like son. Close neighbor is Dexter.

So well written and acted. Excellent storyline and sad it's over.

It finished strong.

This is how a season should end.superb.

Show goes from strength to strength.
