Backstrom wasn’t long for this world after FOX cancelled the comedy-drama after just one season last May.
However, speaking in a Reddit AMA, series star Rainn Wilson blamed the show’s early demise on its time slot, reviews and viewer impatience:
“Backstrom was such a great show. We were on a terrible time slot. Got hammered in the reviews. And people just didn’t give us a chance. Too bad! Oh well.”

I agree with Rainn’s assessment. I was apparently one of the few who enjoyed the show enough to DVR it. I would love to see it come back… perhaps as a replacement for Gotham. 🙂
