Although the viewers both hoped and kinda suspected, Prodigal Son has been officially renewed for a second season with Ainsley (Holston Sage) taking center stage in the teaser that was released on Thursday. Ainsley did what Bright (Tom Payne) didn't have the nerve to do: murder Endicott (Dermot Mulroney), the man responsible for hurting so […]
Looks like fans of FOX's Prodigal Son will have another season of deadly family dysfunction to wade through, with FOX giving an official green light for the second season of the psychological thriller. For FOX Entertainment's Michael Thorn, the series earned the pick-up through a combination of a quality cast and storyline that grew its […]
Just when I was beginning to mourn the end of FOX's Prodigal Son, they roll out a special treat "A Day in the Life of Martin Whitly". I've always wondered how Martin (Michael Sheen) keeps himself occupied throughout the day. I mean, there are only so many books he can read, television shows to watch, […]
Now that season one of FOX's Prodigal Son has wrapped up, what can we possibly expect from an expected second season? Were we left hooked with pending questions? Not really. Every single cliffhanger was neatly tied up, which irks me just a little because now my only anticipation for the next season is that I […]
Bracing myself after all of the pre-season finale hype for FOX's Prodigal Son, "Like Father…" did not disappoint and lived up to the promises. Granted, now we know the episode could end its title with "Like Daughter" but that would just give it away. Malcolm (Tom Payne) gets a chance to redeem his eight-year-old self […]
She's alive! As expected, The Girl in the Box is still alive yet her sister is dead. Yet more irony from the twisted folks at FOX's Prodigal Son. Malcolm (Tom Payne) comes face to face with his lifelong mystery, and now what? Will it somehow clear everything up for him, make things, better? Or will […]
The opening to this week's episode of FOX's Prodigal Son opens in 1999, as two devils sit around a table at Claremont psychiatric facility and make a deal over a very expensive bottle of wine. The room had potential, not exactly the upper east side with chandeliers and gold crown molding but not a bad […]
Before yet another brief hiatus, the previous episode "Scheherazade" gave viewers of FOX's Prodigal Son the answers to the long-awaited question of what happened to The Girl in the Box? Interestingly enough, nothing: The Surgeon (Michael Sheen) let her go. She told a compelling tale about a very scary man, and Dr. Whitly cut her […]
FOX's Prodigal Son offered viewers intricate plots and subplots that definitely require an encore revisit. "Scheherazade" delivered murder, intrigue, manipulation, and an interesting twist that quickly engaged a new character – and even looped Jessica (Bellamy Young) in creating a lovely triangle of jealousy. Dr. Whitly (Michael Sheen) got to play "doting involved father" – […]
"I just want to find my sister." Fair enough. I just want Eve (Molly Griggs) dead – is that wrong? That's where my head's at heading into next week's episode of FOX's Prodigal Son – where everyone's wanting something. Possibly beheaded like the title might be eluding too, or is she the world-freer? We now know […]
This week's episode "Stranger Beside You" was a disappointing one for FOX's Prodigal Son. The whole episode felt like it had a perpetual "flat" vibe – way too much like a standard procedural. With plots like baby stealing, a dead husband, and the expectation of finally finding out who "The Girl in the Box" was, […]
So FOX's Prodigal Son isn't exactly pulling its punches (though "need to stab" would be more appropriate) as it builds towards its season finale. Clearly, Eve's (Molly Griggs) got a helluva' lot more of a Whitly Family "bond" than we first thought – leaving Ainsley (Halston Sage) to do a little deep-digging into Eve's past to […]
Last week's episode of FOX's Prodigal Son left us with a shocking cliffhanger; Eve (Molly Griggs) sneaking into Jessica's (Bellamy Young) basement: tears, flashbacks, intensity, and locking herself in the trunk – the one which kept "The Girl in the Box." Will we finally get an answer? Is Eve the sister of the victim who […]
Eagerly awaiting the return of FOX's Prodigal Son, "The Job" at first appeared to be a more subdued, easy-going episode. Yes, there were multiple homicides; Martin (Michael Sheen) couldn't help but manipulate his family; while Jessica (Bellamy Young) continued to work on a plan to destroy her husband's very essence. Bright (Tom Payne) is reunited […]
Getting super geared up for the return of FOX's Prodigal Son, with Bright (Tom Payne) and the NYPD finding themselves facing another "unique" case: a robbery in broad daylight by a motorcycle gang, tons of insurance money on the line, and a victim shot at close range – casualty… or a hit? Bright is reunited […]
Next week's return episode of FOX's Prodigal Son finds Dr. Whitly (Michael Sheen) waking up from his coma, so at least Jessica (Bellamy Young) is off the hook for murder – but Martin is not done with her. Bright (Tom Payne) urges him to tell the NYPD that she was forced to stab him by […]
FOX's Prodigal Son "Death's Door" finally gave us a face to the "Girl in the Box" and the inner workings of her capture, and to a very catchy tune. The Surgeon (Michael Sheen) proves smooth in his opportunistic hunting and exceptional at improving – especially when Jessica (Bellamy Young) comes home – as he is […]
So heading into this week's episode of FOX's Prodigal Son, Dr. Whitly (Michael Sheen) is taking a turn for the worse after that whole "stabbing" thing – the one Jessica (Bellamy Young) will face a murder charge for if he dies. Because she stabbed him – except she actually didn't. She admitted to stabbing him […]
Post a very family driven episode of FOX's Prodigal Son, Dr. Whitly (Michael Sheen) is not doing so well and appears to crash – since Jessica (Bellamy Young) admitted that she stabbed him at Claremont, she will be looking at a murder charge if he dies… which will most likely not sit well with Bright […]
A thrilling episode of FOX's Prodigal Son, I've been anticipating a reunion between Jessica (Bellamy Young) and Martin Whitly (Michael Sheen), and it played out beautifully with Malcolm (Tom Payne) intercepting and stabbing his father. After a much-needed two-week vacation in the Caribbean, Bright is back and knee deep in a sadistic vengeful killer dead […]
