Kyle Killen'sdrama is one-and-done. The dual-universe series about a cop who loses his wife in one realm and his son in another failed to find traction despite critical buzz.
After launching to 6 million viewers and a 2.0 in the demo in March, the drama staring Jason Isaacs tumbled to 2.2 million total viewers and a 0.8 in 18-49. The effort was considered a big swing for the broadcast network as critics across the board deemed the series a better fit for cable.
Not working in its favor was its hugely competitive time slot at 10 p.m. Thursday against fare including CBS' "The Mentalist".
