So Help Me Todd

5 episodes in and I still want more. It's entertaining. The chemistry is getting better as each episode happens. And after you realize that the distant relationship between the characters in the beginning is part of the underlying backstory, it's easy to start liking them all. I'm enjoying the show and the acting. It's not like they're going for an Oscar or something. It's one of those shows that you just let happen and it pays you back with a few twists and turns, a couple laughs and satisfying story-lines. Enjoy it with a cocktail or something else that helps you smile. I think this show is going to be a good one to binge on a cold winters night once a few seasons are in the can.

I have to say that when I saw the idea behind the show I wasn't immediately taken by this. But then I got VERY sick and was stuck at home and it felt like I'd watched everything, so I gave it a shot. Wow... I was so surprised how much I enjoyed it.

This show definitely stretches the limit on how the law works and isn't the most accurate... But that's not why you watch a show like this. This show has heart and made me smile every single episode. I like how each character is slowly built and I really hope there's another season so I can learn more about some of the others!

Hands down the star of each scene is Marcia Gay Harden. The other actors around her are also good, but she really commands the screen when she's on it. Hope you give it a shot!

Somebody wrote "This show must have been written either for 12 to 14 year olds or to placate lunatics. It is silly in the extreme." Another... "This series could have easily been a much watch. However, the writers have taken the script to a silly, constant comedy that loses its appeal. " If these folks want serious drama... they should find it. I like the fact that it's a mixture of serious and down right stupid... in a fun way. The characters are being developed nicely and there is a warn family caring tone being developed, And as far as "wokeness" some folks need to get over themselves and realize where they are in time. I like the damn show... simple fun.

Well, CBS should be ashamed of themselves for cancelling So Help Me Todd. It's a popular show, as the rating here shows.

It's a fresh take on the crime procedural/whodunit genre. The cast are excellent and the writing is really good. There's interesting crimes to solve every week and the interaction between the principals is such great fun, with wit and humour.

I simply cannot understand CBS policy. Why cancel a popular show halfway through a season? And yet other dross shows, with poor ratings, survive. Network politics? Quite frankly, it's almost at the point where it's not worth investing time in a new show until it's been renewed to at least two more seasons, then binge-watch to catch up.

I am fed up with investing my time in a show, only to have the network pull the rug from under my feet.

I have loved So Help Me Todd from the 1st episode! It is a great who-done-it. The writers and actors are brilliant! It's definitely something I've been waiting on for a very long time. It's hilarious. It's suspenseful. This quirky family's escapades, drama, and chemistry work perfectly together. I look forward to seeing the next episode week after week. I really wish another network would pick up the show and continue on with my favorite new program. I want to know what will happen with Margaret & Gus. Will Harry be back again? What about Allison & her new interest? Will Todd & Susan ever reconnect? Are Lyle & Alex really over? Lawrence & Chet expanding family? And what will become of the firm? Is Beverly a villain? I dread the thought of this favorite being over already. 🙁
