A Swift Death

CW's Tom Swift has been cancelled a little over half way through its short eight episode first season.

Deadline imply that the show's poor performance might not be the real reason it was dusted, citing "speculation" about the plans of CW's soon to be new owners for a more "wholesome" lineup.

No.

As we recently recounted, the show is flawed.

We're not the CW's target demographic and just pressed play after having a random scroll through Paramount+.

Unaware of its extremely poor reception and not expecting to comment seriously on it.

So we were restrained in our criticisms.

Reviewers seem to be steering clear of it.

Tom Swift is available now on Paramount+ with the remaining season one episodes releasing weekly.
