Prodigal Son season 3 was crazy

#the residence #I'm not going to lie my heart went aflutter when Keiko Agena showed up #I miss Edrisa. so much. she is my beloved.#also like #what do you mean ANOTHER amazing murder show with the both of them got canceled #i will never forget you Cordelia Cupp and Malcolm Bright. you deserved so much more.#but the mystery in this one is awesome and all wrapped up and I think prodigal son fans and everyone in general should watch it #edrisa tanaka #eve blanchard #prodigal son #malcolm bright

underrated evil part of prodigal son getting canceled is the last weekend is really an incredible episode but now everyone hates it or refuses to watch it or just doesn't want to deal with it bc we don't know what happens next........god imagine how iconic the lead up to a season 3 would have been if the show was renewed with that cliff hanger! instead fox said

Rewatching the show wasn't enough I had to draw fanart for it

You chopped off a man's hand, a maniac is copying your father's murders, and six cops nearly shot you right over there. You are anything but in control.

i was talking to my friend about brightwell and it made me think about something and now i'm pissed off and have to talk about it

dani was always going to end up as malcolm's love interest. we can see it from the way that they write her from the very beginning. and that PISSES ME OFF, because it makes her character so much WORSE than what we could've gotten. even ignoring the fact that malcolm deserves to have a genuinely healthy friendship with SOMEONE and dani totally should've filled that role, dani barely can stand as a character by herself when she isn't in a scene with anyone (i don't think she even gets that iirc) and it completely tanks her character when her whole being is totally centered around malcolm (taking care of him in the trip, looking for him in alone time, there are so many examples that i'm blanking on but i promise you that's most of her character's actions on screen)

and even the small bit that we do get of her life (examples that i genuinely had to look on her fandom wiki page for because they're so sparce: her history with estime and drugs, how strongly she feels about where she grew up, the fact that her dad died when she was 16) its VERY few and far between and they really don't give us anything else about her character unless it's related to malcolm

also don't even get me started on jt and how he's only used for 2 things. 1, to dislike malcolm at first but grow fonder of him, and 2, as shameless copaganda covering genuinely important real topics that they resolve in two episodes and then never bring up ever again. it's interesting how the two prominently featured black characters aren't allowed to exist as characters outside of the white male lead......... hm........

#so so so real #I hate how dani and jt only exist as supporting characters for malcolm #i love dani and want to see her as a fully fleshed out character #yet almost all we see is the same formula: she comforts malcolm he dismisses her and says he is fine or (rarely) talks about his feelings fo #r a brief moment #and then she goes back to her police work #so not only does she exist purely as a love interest for malcolm but she is just constantly dismissed and not treated like someone with her #own feelings #malcolm is clearly not ready for an intimate relationship if he can't talk to her about anything #which like i think he is aware of #but god. dani deserves to be a fully fleshed out character with feelings and deserves to be upset with malcolm for never letting her in

And the following exhibit is titled "Staredown between gay autistic showman in a funky coat and hair looking like he stuck his finger into a 230V outlet and a yellow-loving angel, dandelion puff for brains, who's attracted to one specific non-binary slutty snake, which almost ends in brutal murder of said showman".
