Attention The Good Cop fans:

I just made a Twitter account, @SaveTheGoodCop from which I’ll be retweeting and liking all the tweets asking for the renewal of The Good Cop. I’ll also share the petition there. I hope that it can help us to be more united on Twitter (that’s how they got a lot of other shows renewed, right?)

So anyway, if you can or want to, go follow it. Let’s see what we can accomplish.
