‘The Irrational’ Canceled — What Would Have Happened in Season 3
Sadly, The Irrational will not be back for a third season – and after it ended on such a major cliffhanger, too!
NBC announced that the series was canceled on Friday, May 9. The series finale aired on March 25, 2025, and it ended with Alec (Jesse L. Martin) realizing that he was being stalked after troubling texts of photos of himself. The only good news? Well, his girlfriend Rose (Karen David), the ex-MI6 agent, had just opened up her own agency in D.C., so he became her first client. Who was following Alec?
“That’s the thing we’ll have to get a Season 3 pickup to find out, otherwise no one will ever know,” executive producer Arika Lisanne Mittman told TV Insider after the finale.
The point of that cliffhanger was, she explained, “to tease something about, ‘Hey, next season there’s going to be more intriguing mysteries, more to uncover, this doesn’t mean the story’s over.’ I wanted to make sure to give everybody something else to chew on a little bit before next season.”
With Rose opening up her own agency, she would have been “a more permanent fixture of the season,” said Mittman. It was also “for her, having this new agency, of having her own little detective agency, if you will, having something that’s not always high-end crisis management. I like the idea going forward of Alec getting — he gets some of his cases from the FBI, He gets some of them from different random places like friends of his, and he can also get some cases from Rose as he has before, but of Rose not just being attached to sort of high-end wealthy people’s sort of fixer problems, for her being able to have a whole different variety of cases with different kinds of people.”
The now series finale also ended with Marisa [Maahra Hill] deciding she was ready to move out of her house — she’d shared it with Alec, then her boyfriend was killed there — and Kylie [Travina Springer] on the path to figuring out what she wanted to do next with her career. She turned down job offers both to become an FBI agent and to work with a friend.
Looking ahead would have been about “what new beginnings for [Marisa] will look like” as well as coming up with options for Kylie, Mittman shared. “We wanted to give her this crossroads and kind of come to the conclusion that, I’m not sure either of those things is right for me, and maybe there’s something else on the horizon. So we may do something else. We may keep her in the FBI. We’re thinking about that, too, where we’re going to situate her, but we really liked putting her in the FBI and getting her out of the apartment, first of all. So whatever she does next season is going to be out of the apartment.”
The plan had been for everyone to return in the same capacity, but that was also a decision that would have been made after a pick-up. As for whether Jesse L. Martin would have sung again after doing so for the musical episode in Season 2, Mittman would have liked that, “but what Jesse and I agree on is it has to be organic for the story and organic for the character of Alec.”

It becomes more & more clear that TV execs in general don't really care what a show's entertainment (or societal) value is, nor even what its ratings are. They care how much they make on it MINUS how much it cost them to produce or purchase it. Schlock is just usually cheaper to create than excellence, & the bottom line usually rules; c'esT la Vie.

So, we had to cancel The Irrational and other shows to make way for NBA games. There are very few shows on NBC that I watch. The Irrational is a standout for me. Interesting concepts and great cast. Ii am truely considering canceling my cable connection and finding better things to do.

I’m so sorry Irrational was cancelled. It was such a unique and interesting show. Seems like NBC is going the way of CBS cancelling all the good shows.

Is NBC nuts? How could they cancel this? It was so interesting and good to watch. Knowing NBC they'll do something like renew it on Peacock so you have to pay for it.

Hollywood needs to be more patient. There are hundreds of shows out there and sometimes it takes time for the fan base to catch up. I think shows should be given at least 5 seasons before the plug is pulled. It was a great show. Hope it gets picked up by another network.

We cancelled our streaming services and now just use the free CTV online and CBC Gem. It's not worth it when all our favourites keep getting cancelled. I feel like they're being replaced by shows that make everyone feel dumber after watching them.

That makes me very sad, I really looked forward to this show every week.
The cast was fantastic, the studies of human behavior, the story lines kept me wanting more.
I already rewatched both seasons over and over.
Please bring it back.

It's ridiculous that the TV execs keep canceling good shows like The Irrational. The show was well written, the plot was nicely developed and each character has grown over the past 2 seasons. It's such a shame. It would be great if the show were to show up on a different streaming service/network, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Unfortunately they aren’t getting the ratings. I think the big nets cancel shows too early tho. Shows usually grow an audience as the show becomes more successful and airs more episodes. They dont give them a chance IMO. Plus-I don’t even watch shows until they get a season 2. I won’t become invested and there has to be more like me who do that. I started Irrational and binged seasons 1 & 2 and loved it. Was really hoping it would make a season 3. My only hope now is Jesse Martin will return to L&O.

Man!! Did NBC go on a cancellation spree??!! I would expect it from CBS, but not NBC. They usually listen to the fans of shows and continue more than one or two seasons. I especially want it noted that the irrational should be continued even if on peacock. It's a great show and very original and the stories really speak to us as viewers. So please re consider and let this one survive on peacock. You keep stupid shows that aren't really funny like night court ( which is not any way near as good as the original) and cancel good dramas like found. Should I be calling your network cbsnbc now?? Sure seems like it!! Hope they is more chatter about these shows to get your attention, I'm really upset!!!!!

This is crazy, Hopefully they don't do what CW did, they think fake(scripted) reality shows are the way to go, that is false. This was a great show and so disappointing they are cxling another good series. Hopefully abc or cbs picks this up heck even Netflix could pick this show up. This show was better than any other show they have shown in a very long time. Sad they made this decision. Ratings of NBC will be going down for this decision.

I DON'T like this news at all I've watcg from Day 1 & this became my every week no not miss show i loved Jesse L Martin from Law & Order (was sad when he was no longer here)
I HOPE NBC will realizes The Irrational is a very good show & there is fan support to watch many many more intriguing episodes In other words
PLEASE REINSTATE SEASON 3 +++
We're waiting eagerly but in the meanwhile RESHOW SEASON 1 & SEASON 2 You really don't have anything better to show in that time slot or find another slot day or night
Thank you for valuing your viewers as well as appreciating these awesome actors

I really love this show. Why have a cliffhanger for a show that's being canceled? Just make the ending make sense. This is how you loose people and make them not want to follow any new shows!

Where can our comments make a difference?
I'm deeply disappointed that The Irrational was not renewed for another season. The way the show integrated psychological research into the solving of complex cases was fascinating and thought-provoking—far more engaging than many of the formulaic sitcoms currently airing.
It was refreshing to watch a drama that challenged the viewer intellectually while still being entertaining. I truly hope another network sees the value in this unique show and picks it up.

VERY BAD DECISION. I LOVED THAT SHOW. I WATCHED EVERY WEEK. TV EXCUTIVES TAKE OFF TOO MANY GOOD SHOWS. THEY NEED TO LISTEN TO THE PUBLIC MORE. WE CAN ALWAYS CHANGE CHANNEL OR TURN IT OFF COMPLETELY
MAYBE THAT IS WHAT NEEDS TO.BE DONE. I CAN ALWAYS READ.

Has been a good show just starting to find its direction and permanent cast. It was a good procedural offering similar to Criminal Minds …. The logic behind the crime.

The minute you have an interesting show with content they cancel it?! NBC needs to bring the show back with season 3.
You see dumb reality shows being renewed, but many good shows are being dropped. I don’t get it. Who will pick up The Irrational I wonder. Which smart network will go for it?

It never fails. Such a great show. Great characters, great plots and story lines. I actually learned some interesting fact every episode. Which I started to look forward too. Very cleverly and well put together and now it’s gone. WHYYYYYYYYY!!!

I’m VERY upset this is cancelled especially leaving with a huge cliffhanger like that. I’m literally watching reruns right now of the show. I been watching every night hoping season 3 would just pop up. I hate all the good shows keep getting cancelled with these cliffhangers leaving us off the edge of our seats. Very unfortunate.

I truly hope that this show finds another network. I am tired of getting invested in a show for it to get canceled the next season+. At least let the show end properly.

I love The Irrational tv show. I don't agree with nbc canceling. I couldn't keep up with all the shows in one week. I think nbc should bring The Irrational back for a 3rd season. I think nbc should spread out new and continue seasons of new shows. Nbc started all these shows at the same time and should be the one to blame for losing viewers. They spread out into like April and May because in these two months there are no new shows to watch.

This show deserves to continue on--the cast are fantastic and the science of how we think and how we make decisions, even when the inputs don't align with our rational interests, is incredibly important information to present in an age of disinformation and manipulation.

What is going on with NBC? They have now cancelled MULTIPLE great shows! The Irrational and Found were 2 amazing shows and now they have cancelled both, not including some of the FBI shows. Honestly I don't have much more reason to watch NBC anymore

Absolutely bring it back. And Found. Three shows I watch cancelled on the same day (I was only watching Night Court because of nostalgia and John Larroquette). Found and The Irrational were water cooler TV. I guess I'll get more reading done now.

Its irrational. Finally an adult and stylish show. Each character is respectful and professional. Great writing with character development. Overall a solvable mystery to solve each week.

So disappointed the show was not renewed for another season. I looked forward to it every week. it was interesting to see how the psychological research played out in the unfolding of each case and the capture of the perpetrators.

B
I liked this show and went out of my way to watch it. There are not that many shows that hold my interest week to week. Knowing the current trends it will probably be replaced by an uninteresting reality show or game show - quick to make and fill a slot. I hope advertisers are paying attention...

that just sucks, Irrational was one of the very few GOOD shows on tv. What's the matter with those people?

-
R
NBC, CBS and ABC totally SUCKS!! They are cancelling all the great shows and shoving game shows, reality crap shows right down our throats. The old, tired NCIS is still a go ahead. They are beating this poor dead horse out the ying-yang. Yet they continue Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Masked Singer, America's Got Talent, The Voice and so on. I don't know about the rest of the viewers but I am finished with network TV. I'll listen to music, read a book or watch a DVD.

We really enjoy The Irrational, Equalizer, and Found. Another 3 of our shows we hear have good audiences and were still canceled. We already lost Blue Bloods and some of our NCIS shows. There is nothing on anymore but dumb reality shows and games!

The Irrational was one of my very favorite procedurals. It has a wonderful cast and interesting stories. Each week was a little different exploration of human behavior. I will truly miss this show.

This was a great show. Why do they cancel the good ones?Wish another network would pick it up.

I am very dissapointed that the show Irrational has been canceled. It seems all the networks keep cancelling the good shows. I really don't know what they are thinking. They are not listening to the fans who watch the shows. They really don't seem to care what the fans think or want.
1

G
What's with the networks do they get some kind of perverse joy out of leaving viewers hanging after being faithful to shows. I'll stick to Britbox and Netflix their shows end and give the viewers a sense of closure Networks should follow their example.
1
-
G
I agree although I wonder if writers sometime think by having a season ending cliffhanger they might have a better shot at a renewal. Maybe if enough of us leaving affects their bottom line, networks/ writers might learn to communicate a tad better concerning renewals and cliffhangers.

Bummer. This was a great show. Both the characters & the plots were so very different from other shows!!! So many are alike these days it was a breath of fresh air. Would also encourage another Network to pick it up….since NBC does not recognize its value.

S
What gives NBC? I don't get it. This was a very interesting show with characters that connected. I would have dropped Found and kept The Irrational. What reason is NBC giving for the cancellation? Any chance another network would pick it up? It seems like a number of good and enjoyable shows on various networks are being dropped while too many reality shows remain!

They dropped Found too

I do not get why good shows keep getting cancelled. I can see how Night Court was cancelled because although I watched (fan of sitcoms and they are few and far between) quite frankly it was just not funny. But shows like The Irrational were intelligent and interesting. Too many are getting cancelled makes me rethink all the streaming I pay for. At this point I could just watch free apps like Pluto and Tubi.

I have no idea why the Irratipnal was cancelled.
Ughhhh loved the show!!!
-
S
This is ridiculous! Executives think 2.1 million to 1.5 million is a huge drop from one season to next is Ludicrous!!!
1.5 million people, that is a considerable amount and sometimes maybe the initial drop is because we wait so long for a show to return!!! We need shows like Irrational and not reality BS. Irrational was written and performed extremely well. I am very pissed to hear NOW it has been cancelled!
TV execs get your head out of the desk and start caring about what viewers WANT!
-

The Irrational was a great show. Should have given it more time to catch on. Seems like all the good shows get cancelled !!

Bring the show THE Irrational back for the 3rd season. Someone buy it and keep an awesome show going. Many shows could go but not The Irrational

I loved this show, it certainly was the best of the "new shows", but like everything, they cancel anything worth watching & force us to pay for another streaming channel only to find the garbage is the same... we used to have most of the streaming channels... we'd get excited to watch something then after 1 or 2 seasons it was gone... so we're down to like 3 channels... & the kiddos have to go play outside... at night, we play games now - it's a lot cheaper... i'm just sad about this one, if wait to the exact hour it was gonna drop & watch it... this was the only show I did that for...

Sorry this is so late, but just saw the cancellation. The Irrational quickly became a favorite of mine due to the actors AND the scripts, so the network cancelling a great show is par for the course for broadcast TV!
The so-called “Cable networks seem to give shows a much better chance to get attract an audience by often having 3, 4, or more seasons to develop a following. Too bad broadcast networks don’t do the same.
-
P
I'm going to miss it. I was definitely different and intelligent. Hopefully Jesse L Martin will find another show.
-
S
Why do networks always cancel the good shows? This was one of my favorites and most of the people we talk to? Not sure how ratings are measured. If they are measured by when the show airs…. They need to look at all the people that record it and watch it later. Best way to watch tv now.
-
R
The Irrational was a standout show. Fine cast, good writing, interesting characters; it was just getting going -- so much more ground to explore! The Irrational was a show for intelligent people, unlike so much of the tired reality drivel that is out there.
-
P
That's the way they do it
-
B
I think canceling The Irrational was irrational. It was a smart, well-done show. We were looking forward to S3. Network execs don't care about their viewers, only their bottom line. TV viewing habits have changed, even from just a few years ago. With streaming, people watch/binge watch months after a show has aired.
-
O
Yes, I am going to miss The Irrational. That is how I ended up here. I was looking for season 3. Another disappointment.
-

So disappointed that The Irrational was canceled! 🙁 Jesse L. Martin is so terrific, especially in this role! I loved the interaction with his university student team. Bringing the Psychology of humans, in particular all of the so cool Social Psych experiments to a wider audience - bravo!! I am a retired Psych professor (West Chester Univ. in PA); I can conclude that the Psychological aspects of this show were right on! 🙂 Also, the relationships of the well-developed characters were compelling, but not so much to take away from the crime procedural aspects. I very deeply hope that there would be a way of bringing this show back - perhaps with more time spent with the Psychological experiments and analysis of the human condition (as we know from many cutting-edge Cognitive Psych and Social Psych studies); and with continued humor! Or perhaps even a new spin-off show (hopefully that could still star Martin).

The Irrational was one of the best shows on, intelligent and entertaining. With all the mindless crap on, this is what you choose to cancel?

I am truly going to miss the irrational. Outstanding story line (unique and interesting). looked forward every week to watch it. Another one bite the dust.. That's the third one I've lost this year. It makes me not want to get invested in watching these programs because it's soo disappointing when they cancel them, especially without wrapping up the storyline. Geesh!!

I just Googled to see when Season 3 would begin only to find out it's been cancelled. So bummed! I really enjoyed the storylines of the Irrational.

O
So sad! Awesome, thought provoking show!

C
Bring it back please!
I don’t want to believe this is too smart a show for the general public.🤞🏻 (not always knowing where something is headed, is an interesting show!)
It had lessons to learn, and psychological info that helped me to boot!
Understanding the why is the key to working out problems!
Admittedly, had a little crush on the dude, 😉, but such a great show! Looked forward to it every week, as I did Jimmy Kimmel!!
Let’s bring this back too!

I will greatly miss The Irrational! It was a great show!
I have been waiting for season 3, not realizing it had been cancelled!
Very, very poor choice on the networks part!

I was just googling to see when next season of Irrational and Found were going to start and to my surprise both are cancel, Bye Peacock and NBC!
-
P
It was one of the really good shows that gave you something to think about gave you, intriguing characters and cases that you could see if you could figure out. I thought the characters were really great. There’s so many other programs that they should cancel and yet they cancel a good one like this. I hope they revisit their cancellation and come back in the future sometime be well worth it.
-
B
Everytime a good show comes on these idiots cancel them! They're always talking about ratings not everything has to be about that. So, the second seasons ratings dropped a little, there could be a million reasons why. Give it at least one more season to see if the ratings continue to drop or go up. Then to leave us with a cliffhanger! That's just torture! It can't always be about the money! There are other things just as important if not more important! I don't like these corporate executives, they're just greedy! I guess 3 yachts aren't enough!
-
O
I liked this show so much. But here goes NBC just like abc canceling shows and leaving you hanging. They did it with Magnum PI I just watched. Both seasons again. It’s so infuriating
-
C
Irrational was one of my favorite shows and very upset it was cancelled……. I am considering not watching anything from this network anymore……. How do you end a series on a cliffhanger when those of us watched it and were invested in the characters!!!!!! I am so mad!!!
-
O
This is ridiculous, as this is one of the Best Shows out there,
-
G
So tired of good shows being taken off the air and mediocre ones staying for seasons. Every show needs at least 5 seasons to show if it has potential. This was a really great show and I was looking forward to season 3.
-
C
Agreed tv is not for the audience anymore, seems forbidden to have e a brain instead of a bunch crap reality tv or 24 x 7 sports. I thoroughly enjoyed the Irrational and have already watched it through twice. I'm upset there is no season 3. I wanted to see where relationships went, keep deciphering cases, maybe it could have wrapped after a seaon 3, but 2 was like taking away someone's book they're reading half way through. Just incredibly rude and lacking insight.
-
R
YES I WILL MISS IT BRING IT BACK...
-
B
I really liked the storyline and all the characters in the show. I’m sad it was cancelled. I would have liked something else to be cancelled. All those live find love shooed that are all fake and money diggers.
-
G
I miss The Irrational. Jesse Martin portrayed a low key, introverted character that was a pleasure to watch. Bring back the show. We want more of the show. Season 3 please!
-
B
I loved the irrational & tuned in weekly. The stories weren’t as intense as other investigative shows and perhaps that explains the ratings? More so in season 1, but occasionally in season 2, I felt like the show was a spoof - not a show meant to challenge my psyche or make me think about human behavior in order to uncover a mystery. Nonetheless, I really hope there is a season 3 because I think you’re moving in the right different by developing the “adult” characters in Alec’s life - shows seem a bit more tense now. You have my vote for season 3 - now you need like 999,999 more!

The Irrational and Found were two of my favorite shows. I guess they will be replaced by more "reality" shows that nobody really cares about.
-
G
I have love for Irrational! I Hope that I will be able to watch ReRuns ASAP! 🤎💯🤎
-
C
I'm extremely disappointed that they cancelled The Irrational! It was such a a different kind of show, different from all the others, thankfully, for once. I'm so sick of all the sports, reality shows and dating series! FINALLY, we had a good show, with a good plot, that was actually educational and boom they drop it. It's crap! Damn you NBC!!
-
G
The Irrational was a good show, and should not have been cancelled! I'm not at all interested in NBA games. Lots of people think like me and want some good shows, like The Irrational on TV. Bring it back!!🤕
-
B
Really!!?? One of my favorite shows, at least wrap up the story! I'm so tired of good shows being canceled!
-
O
I love this show!! Cancelled?? Wtf?? Good job NBC. I watch 0 of your other "better" rated shows. Guess ill cancel Peacock then.
-
O
I enjoyed watching both The Irrational and Found, and I'm a big fan of detective shows. Yes, bring them back!
-
C
The Irrational needs to have a 3rd season. It by far was my favorite show. Along side High Potential. Please at least give us a final season to wrap things up. It’s disappointing to have been left hanging with an expectation of a new season.
-
O
Yet another reason to cancel cable. The Irrational was funny, smart, extremely well-acted & entertaining AF! Jesse L Martin is a treasure!!!!
-
B
Please bring this show back. I can’t believe you cancelled thus show. It was so good and different from other shows out there. BRING IT BACK!!! Also bring FOUND back!!!!!!
-
P
Shocked! Very good show and hope it gets another chance. It was good tv!
-
G
I think you are wrong to cancel irrational it was an awesome show I loved it
-
G
That stinks..really enjoyed this show. Hopefully another network will pick it up. I know you can watch the 2 seasons on Peacock. Would be nice for them to have it continue on Peacock
-
C
Yes bring it back they canceled alot of good shows for all these sports and reality shows
-
B
Bring it back. My husband and I really enjoy this show. Everytime a smart show comes on it gets canceled very disappointing sooo disappointing bring it back
-
R
Canceling one of the few good shows on network TV is one of the primary reasons I rarely bother with CBS,NBC,ABC or FOX. Good thing I like to read!!
-
P
Bring it back! We binge watched it on Peacock and would love to see more. Not many shows on US TV that interest us.
-
O
Canceled Found and The Irrational?!!? We're down to reality shows or sports. Looks like I'll be dropping Peacock and NBC!
-
O
Maybe a TV movie of the Irrational to tie up loose ends?
-
R
There is finally a good show and you cancel it? What are you thinking. Netflix should pair the show. It would be a huge hit. That’s 100% likely!
-
O
So unhappy that they cancelled the irrational. I was look8ng forward to season 3
-
B
I really enjoyed this show. So sorry it was cancelled Sell it to another streaming service. I am sure people would follow.
-
B
I think they cancel the good shows and keep the crap one’s. What are the people in charge thinking. It’s crazy wrong not to finish the story.
-
P
Very disappointed! That was a great show with a wonderful cast!
-
R
I watch Peacock too, I wouldn't be mad if the show moved there. My problem is that I need to trim the fat a bit. I'm paying for too many streaming networks but one can only watch so many shows. I'd rather read more books again and get out of the apartment more than feeling obligated to watching one of the many streaming networks I'm shelling out too much cash for.
-
B
The Irrational is one of my favorite shows. I am extremely disappointed that it is not returning.
I just finished rewatching both seasons.
-
G
Canceling the showtime irrationalis a very bad decision!!!!! As well as brilliant minds!! And it was finally renewed. I don't understand how all the good shows keep getting canceled!!!!! 😕
-
O
Very disappointed that this show was cancelled. It was a favorite of mine and one of the best available shows to watch. There are so few good shows with good original thought provoking storylines, it is very disappointing when they are cancelled. Seems like only stupid reality shows where there is no acting and only idiots being stupid go on forever. A sad commentary on today's society.
-
C
loved this show. Bummer it's canceled. Seems only sleazy junk continues
-
O
I’m so sad to see that the irrational is not coming back. I’m not a big peacock fan so I don’t use it all the time but I like to watch the show a lot. I actually think there isn’t a lot on Peacock that I follow and since they aren’t going to renew the show, I might just hang it up and not continue to pay for this subscription.
-
G
I really liked the show. Loved the characters and stories. Was looking forward to more. Sad.
-
G
I love this show, very interesting and educational... all the actors are awesome. I'm so disappointed ☹️
-
B
How come Dick Wolf shows are never cancelled??? Am I missing something?
-
C
One of the best shows on TV and it gets canceled! Evidently the folks behind this were being 'Irrational'. It is sooooo good i bought the book it's based on. Impossible to replace such a great show. It doesn't insult one's intelligence. The folks behind this cancellation obviously don't have any.
-
B
What a shame! Something Else compared to ncis or elementary... It got me and now it's over... Why?! I bet there are a few ppl missing it. Please pur it on again, maybe a different Network or just streaming. There could bei a way 😉
-
B
I liked this show very much and waited for the third season. It was announced here in Finland that there will be 3. season in August, but then there was an announcement that it was cancelled. I hope that the people in network think this again and continue the Irrational.
-
G
Oh I looked forward to watching The Irrational!! Yes: I’m mad!!! I can only hope it gets picked up by another network. 😭
-
G
Yes, I will miss The Irrational. It was well-made, and I’ve liked Jessie Martin’s characters since I first saw him in law and order many years ago. He was wonderful in The Irrational.
I liked the whole cast, his ex-wife. His sister was wonderful and his assistance at school. They were all very good. Hopefully some other Network picks this up and runs with it.
-
O
Extremely disappointed that this very engaging show has been canceled. Yet other shows that are complete crap still survive. NBC should re-evaluate their decision.
-
R
They will probably replace it with some stupid reality show.
-
R
Bad decision to remove one of the best and smartest shows out there. Very disappointed in this networks decision.
-
B
What’s wrong with people? You cancel a show with intelligence and thoughtfulness?!
Please, someone pick it up and follow through!
-
G
I am very disappointed in the cancellation, I made sure I watched the show every week, even when I was traveling. I enjoy the psychological aspect of the show and seeing how everything was researched and worked out. This show had a great cast and was interesting to see how they all worked together and solved problems. High Potential is another show along the same lines that I found were great to watch with The Irrational. Everything now is reality crap with 90 day whatever, and bachelor, etc. I just don't do those shows.
-
P
Hollywood has lost all creativity. The qualityof there programming has plummeted All the good shows are getting canceled!!!!!!
I was really looking forward to next season!!
-
G
Cannot believ irrational gas been cancelled 😵 looked forward to seeing this weekly and Jesse Martin is a great actor!
Also, ending in cliffhanger is disappointing
-
B
I love this show! WTH? Seriously? Cancelled?
-
O
I loved irrational! It seems that quite often, a show with a new, exciting format, is on for 1, or 2 or 3 years, regardless of its standing in the network listings, and the fact that the viewing public loves it, it is all of a sudden GONE.
-
C
I will definitely miss this show! It’s one of the few tv shows I watched.
-
G
This was a thoughtful, intelligent series and such a shame to cancel it when it was just getting it's legs.
-
P
The Irrational was the best show on TV. What the heck? 😢
-
B
I really loved this show. The characters were fun and all of the psychologisms were great to discuss. If they were going to cancel it, they should have at least allowed them to film an ending. But leaving the fans hanging, not nice NBC.
-
R
The Irrational was my favorite program. I cannot believe it was cancel since it was such a well done show with a cast of great characters. It was an intelligent program instead of a no story just violence program.
-
G
I enjoyed the show, it was unique and clever. The networks seem to cancel shows that think outside the box and is not formulaic. I hope some one else picks up the the show.
-
R
I will miss the show. I am very disappointed yet another good show gets cancelled. Sucks. I hope somebody else picks it up.
-
R
That’s probably why it got cancelled. The bar was set too high. The psychology of it couldn’t be maintained.
-
R
Sick and tired of getting into a show watch it faithfully and BOOM they cancelled it why bother watching tv anymore? Keep stupid shows cancel good ones so STUPID
-
B
I am crazy about the show.
-
A
Well, now I have a reason to cancel Peacock as this show was the only reason to keep it.
-
R
Bring season 3 i hope another network pick it up
-
O
Why can’t they just put it on Peacock only like they did with Law & Order Organized Crime???
-
G
Not happy that NBC canceled Irrational. 😒
-
C
I’m so disappointed!!!
-
K
If CBS doesn’t want to keep this show let someone else pick it up. This was a good show and I watched it every Saturday. I wasn’t able to catch it any other time. I am not sure why they weren’t getting the ratings because everyone was watching the show when you read the feedback on what was canceled. They need a new rating system because what they have now isn’t correct. I love the cast and the fact he’s human not those cardboard characters where they’re invincible. He has his some insecurities and he’s dealing with them.
Shop this show to a new station CBS hot rid of some really great shows. FBI International, FBI Most Wanted please what is going on and who is making the decisions.
-
B
I think it was wrong to cancel irrational that show was awesome and it was just getting good. I am so upset for the cancellation why you all give us this then take it away after the first season!!!
-
O
I really liked this show. It is a shame that the executives always cancel the great shows. Why would they cancel a show without giving us closure. I'm so sick of this new breed of execs who think they know what grown people want to see. These comedies they are producing are crap but those are the ones that last longer than they should.
-
R
That was a good show. Why cancel it🤬🤬🤬
-
G
Oh, no, this is really disappointing news! I hate it!
-
B
All they want to show is stupidity reality tv. Shows you don’t have to use your brain on and it sucks!!!!
-
O
Why cancel this- it is not a mindless, sit and watch show to pass the time. It is an adventure where you have to try and figure out the next steps. It makes you think and we lean what "irrational" means. Arrggh, Someone please pick it up
-
G
Sad it was great show, I thought it was educational too
-
P
That’s an Irrational decision, NBC.
-
J
I am very disappointed that The Irrational has been cancelled. It was one of our favorite shows!!
-
O
Corporate bottom line bull💩 Many shows that survived have a fairly big cast so network executives can cut the amount of episodes each actor is in and shorten season by 2-3 episodes to pad the profit. Irrational as well as Found have singular leads (that also happen to be POC). Networks can't cut the actors amount of episodes, are banned from using AI so cancel the show and put in mindless, cheap to produce 'reality' crap. CORPORATE GREED, pure and simple.
-
R
So disappointed there won’t be a 3rd Season! I really liked this show! I really like Brilliant Minds too! Any show that makes you think seems to get cancelled and they keep shows that are ridiculously stupid!
-
O
It's truly sad. Again we the viewers lose another superb show due to (????) or just plain stupidity. I'm profoundly disappointed & disgusted with NBC leadership. Cable folks, grab this one quickly!!!!
-
G
This was one of the better shows put out by NBC in a while. Very disappointed in this one NBC. I guess Jimmy Fallon needed another excuse to be goofy on a non-sensical show.
-
O
I know people don't want to hear this, but in my opinion this show was canceled because it went overboard with it's DEI context.
It's one thing to introduce gay characters, but every time you turned around this issue was exploited. It's similar to what happened with the remake of Quatum Leap.
It also didn't help that during the first season, Joy Reid, one of the biggest racist commentators on television, was on the show as herself. During the second season, they found it necessary to mention Nancy Pelosi. Why not just use the word politician?
The fact is we live in a divided country and world, so issues that will instigate that division should be avoided or there's a good chance you will lose much of your audience.
Don't get me wrong, I am streaming the show and enjoy it, but those in charge need to consider the beliefs of the entire audience or risk failure.
-
P
Great show..bring back
-
G
Great show. Sorry it was cancelled
-
P
The Irrational was a great show! Several neighbors and I would discuss the show the following day. I cannot understand NBC's reasoning on cancelling The Irrational and yet renewing Happy's Place. I like Reba but the show is a total dud!
-
B
All these networks canceling quality shows for garbage.
-
P
Nooooooooooooo!
-
O
No! One of my favorite shows
-
B
I'm back again. Such an excellent show. Jesse's always been a favorite of mine.
-
B
I loved the Irrational anc Found. My 2 favorite shows
-
G
Please bring it back, I'm so said this was cancelled 😭
-
A
I loved Jesse Martin on Law & Order but I felt this series never reached its full potential. Whether it was due to his silly hats or his awkward assistants, I never bought into the premise that he and his team could solve the weekly cases.
I see I’m in the minority but maybe the nay sayers don’t care enough to post.
