This is a mostly spoiler-free review of Fox’s Prodigal Son. We won’t be reviewing every episode weekly, but let us know what you think of the series and whether you plan to keep watching!
From creators Chris Fedak (Chuck, Deception) and Sam Sklaver (Deception, Blunt Talk) comes a new creepy series marked by fun performances from Michael Sheen and The Walking Dead’s Tom Payne. Sheen’s an incarcerated serial killer, who was arrested in the late ’90s for killing 23 people, while Payne plays the killer’s grown son – an erratic, sleepless criminal profiler. Together, like Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter, they crack cases while sifting through complex emotions. Though here, in Prodigal Son, the feelings are familial.
