“The sad and unfortunate reality is that so much of this world still has prejudice against the LGBTQ community and would rather not watch a kickass crime thriller just because there’s a love story between two boys at the forefront.” – James Paxton

this breaks my fucking heart because yeah that’s the truth. i’ve even seen film critics talking about it being “too gay”. this in itself is a huge problem and it disappoints me so much, but another thing is that people on here always talk about it not being enough lgbtq+ representation and that when it’s done it’s done badly. and yeah i can agree that a lot of the time directors don’t understand what being lgbtq+ really means and do a lot of mistakes. but now that we finally have a show with amazing representation and a cast that understand it so well, yall don’t even watch it? seriously i’ve read so many posts lately about bad representation and you just completely ignore eyewitness it just blows my mind. if you want a show with good representation you seriously won’t find anything better.

i’m telling you guys all this right now because this show is in need of your help. it needs way more viewers for it to continue, and they found out today that they’re might not even able to finish airing the first season, which is a shame considering it’s only halfway through. if you’re from the us i highly suggest you turning on your tv at 10pm eastern time on usa network each sunday. i don’t care if you don’t watch it when it’s on, as long as you have it on it’ll count as a viewer. if you’re not from the us, which i know most of you aren’t, you can reblog this and spread the word, and tell your american friends to watch it. the cast has asked us many times to use the hashtags #WeWantEyewitnessSeason2 and #Eyewitness so if you feel hopeless, this will make a huge difference, especially using these tags when the episode is airing.
