"Fearing he will follow in his father's footsteps, Nathan is closely monitored throughout his childhood", the synopsis reads.
"As the boundaries between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ fray, Nathan - along with mischievous Annalise and charismatic Gabriel - will soon discover who he truly is."

While someone else wrote: "They canceled half bad: the b*stard son and the devil himself after 1 season. I’m sick to the stomach rn.
"I want Netflix gone. Too many shows have been getting axed way too soon."

The show was also hugely popular amongst critics and scored a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 93 percent at the time of writing.
Production company The Imaginarium tweeted: "Half Bad is a show we are incredibly proud of, which gained stellar reviews, along with a fiercely loyal global fanbase.
"While we are disappointed not to continue the story, we have loved working with such a talented cast and crew on bringing our beloved show to life."
