PRODIGAL SON | 1.01

I worked the Upper East Side in ‘98, not far from here. One night we get a call. Some kid, a prank. They send me to sort it out, apologize to the owners and all that. The doctor who lived there couldn’t figure out who made the call. Still, he invited me in, even offered me a cup of tea. That’s how The Surgeon tranquilized his victims. Tea laced with ketamine.

Bright called the cops on his dad?

[brightmalcolm]

Okay, that came out worse than I meant, but I'm fine.

you know a ship is good when character a has a near-death experience and character b immediately acts like a widow

He's learning to drive at his whole 31 years of age 🫶

Jokes on you, I’ll NEVER give up hope that Prodigal Son can be renewed. NEVER.

Yes!!! Prodigal son was soooo good! Malcolm Bright deserved better. And Ainsley too. The dynamics were so good I’m actually getting irritated again because I had heard the show could have been picked up by Netflix but it never happened😭 so much unresolved plot😭 I’m heartbroken again lol

IT WAS GOING TO BE PICKED UP??? WHAT HAPPENED???😭😭😭

I want my unhinged boi backkk😭

Gil stepping up as a parental figure, like I can't even begin to describe how much I adore found family or in this case the family that chooses you and you love them back. And the dynamic that he shares with his team, especially Edrisa, is very veryyy dear to me like I would fight for them. They are just sooo *incoherent mumbling and crying*

I think this is one of those shows where I genuinely loved the mother, because Jessica Whitly is not a plain character. She has her fears and yet she's just as unhinged if it's about her children or anyone she genuinely cares for. She's sassy too, I love that. I think being sassy and unhinged is a genetic thing in the Whitly family.

As I'm writing about them now, I miss them more. I remember watching it daily when it aired. What made it stand out from most shows, for me, is that it has a protagonist who is utterly haunted but it does not stop him from being absolutely hilarious. In fact, any other show would've made him stoic and something stereotypical. Distanced, so to speak. But everytime he's on screen, it feels like he's alive; we are not mere spectators. We feel his grief, his desperation to be his own person, his love, friendship, everything.

This makes him and every character on this show special.

I'm sooo happy that you decided to talk about this showww😭😭💖💖💖
