Eyewitness is a critically appraised TV series and GLAAD nominee thanks to its high quality writing and acting. Barely promoted before and during its airing time, it was cancelled after one season, a decision which didn't take into account that the TV series was able to find an audience in spite of the lack of promotion or that the number of viewers finding about it and expressing appreciation for it even after the finale has kept growing steadily, as testified by its continuous popularity on social media and praise from critics. Indeed, Eyewitness has a strong, international, devoted fanbase who has worked very hard to promote the show, because they find themselves finally represented in this series. Eyewitness is, in one word, groundbreaking. Not only is it the first crime series with LGBTQ leads, but it also offers a fair and accurate representation of LGBTQ issues, normalising the relationship between two teenage boys and presenting it as just any other love story, with no clichés or stereotyping. This, together with the many other issues accurately explored in the series (equality in gender roles, PTSD, foster care, suicidal thoughts, drug abuse) and the very positive critical response the show gained, is the reason why we are petitioning for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HereTV or Showtime to pick up Eyewitness and let the story continue. We believe that, with the right promotion and on a platform that would allow a wider audience to be reached and international views to be counted, the show would thrive and continue to make an impact, as it was able to do with its first season.

i'm currently a gay teenage boy in a small town, so this show really hit close to home for me and it saddens me that it hasn't been picked up for another season. it's impacted my life and made me feel more comfortable with my sexuality.

Totally enjoyed Eye Witness, "normalising the relationship between two teenage boys and presenting it as just any other love story, with no clichés or stereotyping. " We need more of this type of shows. LoveIsLove To Thank You

The plot is so interesting. I love how the show revolves around the boys relationship, but isn't constantly about it. Like, I wouldn't mind if it WERE only about them, but it shows that LGBTQ+ characters can be a key part in a bigger plot.

This show fills a void that currently exists on american television for good LGBT content, strong female leads, POC, etc... IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO KEEP THIS SHOW GOING!!! The fans are so invested and it will only keep growing!

I absolutely love this show. Lukas' struggle speaks to me a lot because I've been there. I love crime shows to begin with, but seeing representation in a crime show with a kickass intrigue gives me life. Please, please continue it.
