I doubt Nicholas is that easy to dispose of, and what makes him so bad? The fever to assault others appears to be going around, as Bright (Tom Payne) stabs someone, too Is it a dream? The new homicide is a drowned victim, possibly assassinated The first thing I noticed was Eve is nowhere to[...]

Cr: David Giesbrecht/FOX. I lost count of the number of jealous souls this week, yet was surprised that Dani (Aurora Perrineau) is not showing any signs of affection towards Bright (Tom Payne) though she has looked fantastic the last few episodes Jessica attends an elite soiree hosted by none other than Dermot Mulroney guest staring as[...]

Cr: David Giesbrecht/FOX. Can we please address Malcolm's (Tom Payne) quick attachment to her, the woman betrayed him, infiltrated his family to get intel on them, got under all of their skin, meanwhile, all she really had to do was ask and both Jessica (Bellamy Young) and Bright would have gladly given her all the answers[...]

With plots like baby stealing, a dead husband, and the expectation of finally finding out who "The Girl in the Box" was, I was excited in anticipation of it – but there was just an overall emptiness and lack of buy in. Typically, I easily relate to each character and Prodigal Son does an exceptional job[...]

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 see what she might want with Bright (Tom Payne) More important, what her connection to "The Girl in the Box" might be. So yeah…[...]

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[...]

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 with an old friend and had a cathartic moment gaining insight and resolution into his trust issues, while also realizing that[...]

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? PRODIGAL SON © 2020[...]

Bright (Tom Payne) urges him to tell the NYPD that she was forced to stab him by the serial killer – and in typical "The Surgeon" fashion, he may/may not accommodate… but for a price. What does he want? More quality time with his son – but why? What does Dr Whitly really want: merely to[...]

Bright (Tom Payne) struggles with his father in a coma and named healthcare proxy and given power of attorney He refuses to enter the hospital room, while Ainsley (Halston Sage) plays the role of supportive and caring daughter, never leaving Martin's side.

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 to cover for Bright (Tom Payne) – who's already had more than enough[...]

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 (Tom Payne) How is Bright feeling about stabbing his own father?[...]

After a much-needed two-week vacation in the Caribbean, Bright is back and knee deep in a sadistic vengeful killer dead set on making a mockery out of his mother and the Whitly name, targeting Ainsley (Holston Sage) as well "Eye of the Needle" proved that when you combine the family dynamic and their intricate psychological[...]

Bright (Tom Payne) is with his mother at the Claremont Psychiatric Hospital- but why? Offering his mother support, or seeking assistance from dad on a new case… or something else? PRODIGAL SON: L-R: Tom Payne, Michael Sheen and Bellamy Young in the "Eye of the Needle" episode of PRODIGAL SON airing Monday, Feb 10 (9:01-10:00 PM[...]

Whitly aka "The Surgeon" (Michael Sheen) is finally out of solitary for saving a member of the ward and getting his TV and phone privileges back – step one obsessively dial Malcolm Bright (Tom Payne) – clearly nothing has changed); Jessica (Bellamy Young) is possibly back on the road to getting accepted by the elite[...]

I desperately needed some alone time after watching the winter return of FOX's Prodigal Son; in shock at the sheer craziness of the episode it left me with my jaw wide open and repulsed and horrified in a good way.  As has been the case lately, once again trh series did not disappoint. After leaving off[...]

FOX's crime procedural/serial killer thriller Prodigal Son returns Monday for the second-half of its first season run, and considering the midseason finale ended with Bright (Tom Payne) kidnapped by the "Junkyard Killer" (Michael Raymond-James) you'd understand why viewers are more than interested in seeing how it all plays out. Oh… we left out an important fact: the[...]

The mid-season ended with Bright (Tom Payne) kidnapped by the 'Junkyard Killer' (Michael Raymond-James), Dr Whitley's (Michael Sheen) protégé, so has he been holding up? As the NYPD and the FBI rush to find and save Malcolm, does he really need saving? Or is he merely getting a crash course on how to follow in[...]

Whitly aka The Surgeon's (Sheen) murders.  Although the overbearing mother has began to be painted as a humanitarian in the last few episodes wanting nothing more than to protect her children and seek vengeance against her husband – I can's seem to ignore the nagging feeling that she somehow knew about his extracurricular activities and[...]

Whitly feel about Paul torturing his son?  By the looks of it, Malcolm doesn't seem all that hurt only suffering minor injuries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1PyRoxg_vs The FBI led by Colette Swanson (Meagan Good) are in the woods possibly tracking down a serial killer, my gut tells me it's not Bright they are looking for given Swanson's and his history[...]

Instead, while enjoying Ainsley (Halston Sage) standing up to her mother, Jessica (Bellamy Young) stealing evidence to promote her own agenda, and Bright (Tom Payne) getting kidnapped by Paul (Michael Raymond-James), I was still left feeling like there should have been 10 more minutes to go, to really get that "punch" factor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvelDgcV3ZUVideo can't be loaded[...]

The NYPD is looking for a missing Bright (Tom Payne) while Jessica (Bellamy Young) has stuck to her guns to ruin Martin (Michael Sheen) by going media public with the bracelet of her husband's 24th victim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvelDgcV3ZUVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Prodigal Son 1×10 Promo "Silent Night" (HD) Fall Finale (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvelDgcV3ZU) Bright most likely[...]

His subconscious is demanding to be heard, and according to his psychologist the 'call' might be one of a sexual nature.  Getting stabbed in the chest in one of his dreams with a long sword? Maybe Bright needs to get a personal life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBMFkrrxcAAVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Malcolm & The Team Investigate[...]
