Allegiance Season 1 General Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

NBC Cancels Allegiance (Duh)

The network—which recently gave up on its long-running Thursday comedy block and swapped it for more serious fare—has canceled its underperforming spy drama Allegiance. The series was only five episodes into its first season, using the recently relocated The Blacklist as a springboard into the 10pm hour. But Red Reddington couldn't boost the Americans knock-off (which wasn't that good in the first place), and Allegiance debuted on February 5 with fewer than 5 million viewers and a 1.1 rating in the 18-to-49 demographic, putting it in last place behind Elementary and How to Get Away With Murder. Things only got worse after that, with this week's fifth episode notching 3.36 million viewers and a series-low 0.8 rating. You've been burned, Allegiance! Just as I predicted.

Yep, sometimes it is pointless to watch cancelled shows. Then again there are some that I do watch and wonder why was it cancelled.

NBC was trying to copy FX The Americans anyway.

I finally got around to watching this show but alas I had to quit after episode 5. Simply boring. The lead actor (son) was a annoying no it all, with idiosyncrasies that just fell flat, with the stink of its been done before.

You should check your own history before you can make such a statement.

Okay - but here I only had 13 episodes to play with.  It was my intention to watch the whole season, and I usually try to do so with cancelled shows,  but I just couldn't force myself in this case. It happens

Low Winter Sun is the next one on my bucket list.


Have you watched the one episode of Chris Carter's 'The After'. It was weird and nothing like him until the last 5 minutes of the episode. I'm a died hard X Files fan, and although I could tell the After would be nothing like the latter - I would've liked to have seen at least 13 episodes here before Amazon axed it.
