Really entertaining action show. Sure, you have to suspend disbelief, but it's all in fun. I hear that this show is on the chopping block, and I will really miss it. Some of the shows NBC decides to keep instead of this one really baffles me.

This was one of the better shows of the season. Why do they always seem to cancel the good shows and keep the stupid ones!

I really like this show, bring it back at least through the football season to see how a show about high octane action does without having to be up against Monday night football.

We have two satellite boxes, this was the only show on either Dvr. That I watch. NBC has a tendency to promote cookie cutter shows that reflect certain demographic groups. Please give this show another chance on a different day. I enjoy the four main characters very much. Good show

I am in total shock over this decision! I usually am in half or full agreement when I see a show cancelled... but not this one!

This is a great show with an amazing cast. There is mystery and action and none of that reality show fluff. It's a shame this one didn't make it. I sure hope NBC listens to its viewers and reconsiders dropping this one. REVIVE "THE PLAYER"!!

Cancelling this show shows a total lack of faith in the great viewing public. I can only hope that the forward thinking 'Amazon Prime' or 'NetFlix' has the faith that NBC is short of and picks it up like they did with Longmire and Ripper Street, they appear to recognise a good show when it comes along... SHAME on U NBC
