    Loved the show!! But what happened to Ben? Did Natalie testify against her sister and did the ever catch abbey? That's the only thing I didn't like about the show. I figured season 2 would show all of this instead of going to all new characters. At least post on the site what happened with abbey, Ben, and Cornell

  • Mary - 9 years ago

    Loved it and can hardly wait for second season. I hope the second season they will have ending on show and not web site. A two hour finale would be great.

  • Lisa - 9 years ago

    I loved the show but ending was horrible. They never finished the story. What happens ?? Does Abby go to jail does Ben get out of jail?? I don't know if I will watch the show again if they don't finish this story first!

  • Donna P - 9 years ago

    Loved it! I would definitely watch a Second Season. Hope they have one.

  • zoe - 9 years ago

    yeah, maybe...but maybe not. liked it for the most part, however the ending was a bit abrupt, even though there were clues. det. cornell is okay but without ben, not sure if it will be easy to start all over on another case. also, having to watch the update online was unexpected and not well promoted. I had to search for it.

  • Jennifer - 9 years ago

    So r u telling me that abby was bright enough to torture her father by putting all those flashlights in his garage!? She's 12! And by doing that she was then trying to drive her dad crazy? Yet she loves her dad? A Lil too far fetched abc! Great show til the finale.....

  • R, Washburn - 9 years ago

    Wouldn't watch again - disappointed that with so many options Abby is the killer. Brings it into the category of yet another rote series. Could have been more unique.

  • Terry - 9 years ago

    Was hooked on the show from the beginning. Hated to see it end. Would love to see season 2, but no Ben.........I don't know about that..............

  • Lorraine - 9 years ago

    Not a Fan anymore ! Poor ending really ! I was excited to see a good show and it was when it started but after a few weeks it just went down the drain. So many mistakes with all the Ben running around and hiding things to far fetched. Better luck next time ABC.

  • Kennedi Reames - 9 years ago

    I personally love the awesome show ,but ultimately the season finally sucked. Would love to have it back on for a second season.

  • CJ - 9 years ago

    Loved the show overall. But when the credits started rolling at the end of the finale, it seemed there needed to be about 15 more minutes of the episode. The online Cornell Confidential was so disappointing. The finale should have told the story in its entirety. That said, I would watch the show next season. Juliette Lewis is so talented!

  • David ivey - 9 years ago

    Was caught up from day one, would definitely watch a season 2 and 3. Great writing and very captivating

  • Donna Robbins - 9 years ago

    Loved the show. Guessed early on that it was a daughter who murdered Tom, but I guessed the wrong daughter. Natalie is much too bright to do something so evil. Yes, please continue this series.

  • Allison - 9 years ago

    I didn't want to watch the show when I first saw it advertised because it looked too much like Gracepoint; it was a great series but after you've seen one, not interested in another just like it. When I discovered that Juliette Lewis was starring in it, that hooked me. She's a fantastic actress & I think she did a great job in this series & to me it was better than Gracepoint. I read somewhere that if the ratings were good enough they will award a Season 2 with only her, not the Crawford family or other characters. I will definitely watch it if they continue with her as the detective. I am anxiously waiting for the announcement.

  • Dawn - 9 years ago

    With Ryan confirming he isn't coming back, I think they killed him off. No way by death penalty...even automatic appeals go on for years, not just 14 months. He probably was killed by an inmate who thought he was a baby killer. Hoping for another season and wish they'd open it with a wrap up of Season 1 to explain things and then have Cornell move on to another case...perhaps the death of Jess's first baby?

  • Smolik - 9 years ago

    The finale shocked us more than anything, I think that's why we rated it above average instead of awesome but we will definitely be waiting for and watching Season 2....

  • Peggy - 9 years ago

    Would definitely watch, love, love the show.

  • Sharon - 9 years ago

    Was a great show but left you hanging. I want justice done. We need the show to return.

  • Janet - 9 years ago

    because I live in Canada I can not watch the web videos. which sucks because I loved the show, now You leave me hanging not knowing what will happen with Abby, and if her father gets out of jail. this needs to be cleared up.

  • Kylie - 9 years ago

    I loved the show and the finale but it was too much like the show gracepoint so I had a feeling the killer would be Abby. Overall I loved the show

  • Toni - 9 years ago

    Gee, big surprise?! Didn't anyone watch Gracepoint - must have been the same writer - we thought it was the daughter early on - too bad they followed the same format.

  • LIZ - 9 years ago

    Loved the show but disappointed that justice didn't prevail. A poor decision made by Ben to sacrifice his older daughter for the sake of his sick younger daughter. An intelligent decision would be to seek help for his very sick daughter. No wonder he cheated. His wife was a selfish cold women. Having an abortion despite her husbands wishes set in motion all the following events. Writers should finish their job. Not fair to the viewers.

    Please bring back for season 2!!! I loved the show, and did enjoy the finale. Never it coming it was abby!However, it should have been two hours, they crammed way too much information into one show. I feel like we need some closure on this case, which means justice for Tom. I know it can be done! Again, I would most definitely watch another season.

  • Dee - 9 years ago

    The shoes had to have been moved. The search of property would have found them. I hated the end. Why go to watch 18 mo later on the web? There has to be another season or I would have to say it was the worst ending ever to what was a favorite of mine.

  • CONNIE - 9 years ago

    YES....PLAEASE BRING BACK, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE SEASONS!!!

  • Gayle - 9 years ago

    Edge of your seat Great! Would love for it to continue. What happened to Ben?

  • mitchell - 9 years ago

    Enjoyed the 10 episodes except for several of Ben's decisions regarding evidence. He kept getting himself more exposed due to stupid decisions, i.e. burying the flashlight, burning Abby's shoes, etc. He did many things to make him appear guilty. My prediction for next season, if there is one, is for Ben to be killed in prison (as children abusers dont last long) and Abby kills her mother when she attempts to turn her in to the police. In meantime will stick with Bluebloods and NCIS.

  • Anne - 9 years ago

    I LOVE this show! I hope they bring it back. Week after week I would guess it was someone and then by the end of an episode I had decided it was someone else. I never guessed it was Abby though! I would definitely watch another season.

  • Margie Jones - 9 years ago

    The show was great. Watched every Sunday, did'nt like the ending. A good mystery ends well. No wait and see if we will be back. As much as your viewers watched faithfully you could have ended it better then you did. Don't worry about if we will watch next season yes we will but you need to wrap up a cases. Loved Cornell.

  • Jane - 9 years ago

    I was disappointed the series did not end and we are left hanging. I like the 10 week series of a show rather than a continuous series. I felt the whole series was a bit far fetched though.

  • LauraLei - 9 years ago

    The Cornell Confidential ruined next season. It looks like Ben is dead. It would have been good if Natalie told her uncle the truth and they came forward. Since he never cared for Ben, it would have been a little twist. After he fought for his innocence all year, the false confession didn't seem right. The mom wasn't that crazy, once she knew Abby premeditated the murder, she should have turned her in. This would have been good if it could play out next season, but because of the last Cornell Confidential they ruined it.

  • Sandra - 9 years ago

    Loved this show. I hate that it ended with Abby not getting her just rewards. I agree with Abby's sister, she should have been brought to justice. As Cornell said, killers are getting younger every year and Abby is left to kill another day. Look forward to a wonderful 2nd season. Also, it seemed good to see Cornell in another light when she left the bar and sat in her car and cried. Love it, love it, love it.

  • star - 9 years ago

    The family gathered week after week to make our own predictions!
    Week after week all predictions would change, with the exception of mime, by week 5. I made the prediction that Abbey killed Tom because she was jealous of the attention Ben
    showed to Tom and Jess.
    My kids thought I was a total crazy person ...... I wish you could have seen their faces,
    Having made the right prediction what does that say about me?
    It could have been a two hour finale, but what the hell I enjoyed it all the same

    WE NEED SEASON 2

  • Rose - 9 years ago

    You have to bring this show back. You can't leave us hanging !!!! I look forward to this show every Sunday evening.

  • Laura Morris - 9 years ago

    This show was great. I looked forward to seeing it each week. The outcome was not what I predicted, but very well done. I would definitely want to see a second season of this. There are alot of possibilities for the show to go on.

  • Ginny - 9 years ago

    I looked forward to watching each episode this season. Am hoping a second season will happen. Will be anxious to hear the decision. Please bring it back!

  • joyce - 9 years ago

    I love this show..I am an avid reader of murder mysteries and I could not figure out who did it.....better than a Patterson novel....would love another season.!!

  • Anita - 9 years ago

    Yes I would watch a second season.......can't wait loved it.

  • Anita Hecklund - 9 years ago

    Yes I would watch a second season.......can't wait loved it.

  • Lois - 9 years ago

    I hope they have a season 2 or continues. Kept me watching each week and would like to see more.

  • a - 9 years ago

    You would have been much better ending this season with Tom going to jail and then showing a splash of season 2 coming up, asking the question, would the truth come out and would justice be served. Now you are asking people if they will watch another season after showing a 5 minute video, which questions if Tom is dead? Not a good move because you have left people up in the air after faithfully watching all this time. If Tom is dead, you are going to sink your ship before it gets on the water. The writers should have done better. You leave people no hope of the good guy prevailing because it is assumed that Tom is dead. If you are going to have a season 2, you better get on your horse with some commercials showing it's coming back and that Tom is not dead and Cornell is coming on stronger than ever to prove Tom is innocent, all the while showing that his daughter is a very sick little girl in more ways than one. His daughter could take off again when Cornell shows up in season 2, a manhunt begins and things take a wrong turn, as the mother could be helping her hide, on the run, who knows! I mean there is so many things could be done in season 2 to keep us on the edge of our seats. I fear the way you have ended this, that boat will slowly sink. There is hope and all it takes is 1 minute commercials to let the fans know to watch for season 2. Something like Cornell seeks the truth and you see Tom walk out of prison, where he begins his own search to find his daughter before something worse happens, possibly to someone in his own family, like the oldest daughter who want's to tell the truth.

  • jq - 9 years ago

    I watched the season premiere of the show becauseI couldn't find the remote so I set there and watched it and I've been hooked ever since. I think the show is great. it was a great season and I would love to see a season 2 but my biggest question is in season 2 what else could be done? You're going to do a whole season about a lil girl going to jail? That's terrible. And kinda boring...Unless they morph her into this huge serial killer. Where they find out shes killed more people. So yeah

  • Mary - 9 years ago

    We loved the show and awaited Sun night to watch,,,then the ridiculous non ending! what were you thinking,,, just say there will be a second season and eliminate the trying to find the ending on the computer. I feel robbed and might not watch next season.

  • Suzan - 9 years ago

    Great show - suspenseful every week. One of the very few shows I watch in real time. Absolutely would tune in for season 2! Renewal is a must!

  • pat - 9 years ago

    Was very disappointed when I went to the website & couldn't watch the ending because it's only available in the USA. What about us Canadians that faithfully watched the show. Other than that I really enjoyed the show & would watch Season 2.

  • Tammy - 9 years ago

    I absolutely loved this show. I would be disappointed if they don't finish the story...please don't leave us hanging....deffinately need and would watch another season!!

  • brenda martin - 9 years ago

    yes loved show want more

  • Jerry - 9 years ago

    Great suspenseful series. Need to have another season. I would be a big supporter

  • Karen - 9 years ago

    I was. Awaiting every week to come. It was a great series and look forward to another season please

  • bd - 9 years ago

    I agree with Amy. Web ending should have been part of show. Abby should have been held responsible. Not sure I would watch another season if only to be left hanging in the end.

  • Fabian Romero - 9 years ago

    Would love to see a second season it gets better and better each episode. best show I seen since sons of anarchy. Glad to see not end tonight

  • Ceasar - 9 years ago

    Season one was amazing! I am really hoping they make a season two.

  • Richard - 9 years ago

    I'd like a wrap up of this finale and a renewal of this show!

  • Jane Lemmo - 9 years ago

    I want to add that 3 others that I watched the show with agree that there MUST be a second season!!!!!!!!!! For those who do not think so, DONT WATCH :)

  • el - 9 years ago

    I agree with so many of you as to watching it another season. However, I also had it figured out by episode 4...Abby and her father fixation and so self centered. I think it should have been Melissa Gilbert's character or maybe the autistic son. It was too easy to figure out.

  • Sandra - 9 years ago

    Hope there is a second season. I want Cornell to catch Abby. Then move on to a new case.

  • Jane Lemmo - 9 years ago

    This was an awesome season. There has to be a second season. If there isn't going to be a second, I really wish I would have known more about what the final result was!!!!!

  • Doug - 9 years ago

    Want this case wrapped up and Cornell returning with a new case & cast. We loved the show but disappointed that we were left with Ben in jail & Abby free.

  • Seriously - 9 years ago

    Really . Poor Natalie . Dad confesses to save one kid . And mom runs off with the murderer . NAT looses both parents and her brother because of her sister .

  • Amy - 9 years ago

    I enjoyed the show . Thought the "web" ending should have been part of the tv episode. Left too many unfinished ends . Is Ben dead . Was he killed in prison or death penalty . And Abby free . I woul watch another season . But they need to tie up all the loose ends and bring another case for the next season .

  • Dave - 9 years ago

    Bluejacket has it right.....Ben as stupid as he seems regarding decision making should have confessed in the third week and saved us all a lot of time watching this husband and father screw up so many adult actions.... Is that the way it works in Hollywood????? Does anybody live a normal life out there????

  • Dave - 9 years ago

    What a waste of time..... I was hoping the writers would get it right after so many weeks..... And then we find out that TV writers don't have the common sense to show their audience that justice can prevail when you have a decent investigation on a murder case..... So much for LAW AND ORDER in Hollywood.... Don't waste your money guys next season just can't fly on just fixing the stupidity of this seasons legal justice.....

  • Bluejacket - 9 years ago

    I watched the whole stupid show! Couldn't believe how many times Ben Crawford made stupid decisions . Not a normal reaction for anybody in those situations!
    No I won't watch another season

  • Lucy - 9 years ago

    I don't feel like it was wrapped up well. There is so much more we need to see. It can't just end with Abby being free and her dad behind bars.. There has to be a second season! It is literally my favorite show ABC has ever made!

  • Truth - 9 years ago

    Loved the show, thought the finale was awesome. Only thing wrong with it was it should have been 2 hours. If there is a next season I'll watch it and hope they bring down Abby! Cornell rocks. Also more episodes next season

  • Ronnie - 9 years ago

    The writing was great!

  • Melissa - 9 years ago

    i loved season 1 and my prediction was spot on.. The ending was good but I can definitely see this continuing the way it ended you can't just let Ben stay in prison when Cornell knows he is lying , Abby has issues and that won't change their totally needs to be another season I definitely will be watching if it continues and hope it does!!' :)

  • Steve - 9 years ago

    Would have preferred the web ending as part of tv ending. Would watch another season, whether whole different cast and story line or continuation with Ben & Abby.

  • cj - 9 years ago

    Duh??? Disappointed after stretching it out so long to an ending like that. Come on writers

  • janice - 9 years ago

    Would definitely watch a second season love the show.

  • janice - 9 years ago

    Would definitely watch a second season love the show.

  • Adrian Foust - 9 years ago

    The ending should have been completed on tv!!! Why make the people who can use computer? Sloppy ending. Watched every episode and expected more tonight.

  • Matgaret - 9 years ago

    Was very surprised Abby did it......WE HAVE to know how Cornelle works this out.. Defiantly want renewal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Helen - 9 years ago

    Frances? How did you nail in 4th episode?
    Inquiring minds.

  • daniel miller - 9 years ago

    That was the stupidest resolution to a continuing show that I have ever seen. The writers cared only about achieving a surprise ending. None of the characters acted the way real people would, particularly the so-called murderess. I can't believe I invested so much time in this drivel. I will never watch another second of this show.

  • Donna - 9 years ago

    I am hoping for a season 2 and would definitely watch.

  • Helen - 9 years ago

    I was a bit surprised after trying to follow all possibilities. Mother now confused as Abby shows she's sick. Older sister loses family. Dad "helps" Abby and rest of family gone awry.
    Where would another season go?
    Maybe having Abby go nuts in a final, really final, episode...you get it...the healthy ending for the rest of the family.
    This ending leaves evil a winner.
    Hey, just sayin'!!

  • Jade - 9 years ago

    YES II WOULD WATCH THE SEASON OVER AND OVER AGAIN IF THERE IS A SECOND OONE!!!!! I WILL BE SUPPER SAD IF THERE ISNT ANOTHER SEASON HONESLTYY!!!!!!!!!!!! please have annohter season please pleasee please!!!!
