Series info and plot
Mad Dogs is a new American psychological thriller and black comedy television series that premiered on Amazon in its entirety on January 22, 2016. The pilot originally aired on January 15, 2015, and its success led to the 10-episode first season. The series is produced by Left Bank Pictures, MiddKid Productions, Amazon Studios with Sony Pictures Television. Executive producers for Mad Dogs are Shawn Ryan, Cris Cole, Marney Hochman, Andy Harries, Suzanne Mackie and Charles McDougall. The comedy series is based on the eponymous British series, which was also authored by Chris Cole.
The story portrays a group of four 40-something college friends – Joel (Ben Chaplin), Lex (Michael Imperioli), Gus (Romany Malco) and Cobi (Steve Zahn) who share a rather strained history in their past – coming to visit their friend Milo (Billy Zane) at his mansion in Belize. What follows is a series of hilarious events, dark secrets exposed and many things going wrong in the dubious set of circumstances. All of a sudden the paradise vacation turns into a nightmare with drug lords, murder and police chases.
Reviews and renewal prospects
The series have garnered mostly positive reviews, and holds a 7.4/10 score on IMDb. Many critical reviews note the repetitiveness and the all-too-familiar quality of the middle-age crisis revelations and accusations, and the predictable plot. The British series seemed to have had more universal appeal, but the US adaptation is not devoid of charm either, and may very well be continued.

Im from Melbourne Australia started watching the first season and after watching the pilot i was hooked, was up until 5am in the morning and took the morning of work to continue watching and now reading no season two would not do this series justice,I cannot remember the last series that got me hook line and sinker wanting the watch more !!!
AMAZON you guys are crazy who ever buys the rights to the next series is going to make a lot of money. SEASON 2 MUST GO ON !!!
It can't be the following:
1. Season 1 totally bombed. NOPE
2. Lack of funds to finance another series. NOPE - not after the pot of gold earned for
Season 1.
3. Fears of less viewers if series continued. NOPE, more likely they'll have triple the number
of committed viewers.
4. Better prospects to fund that would exceed the sensational earnings than Season 1 of
Mad Dogs. NO WAY, JOSÉ!!
Insanity is the only reasonable explanation. I'm all ears for any reliable information that led to the decision to cancel Season 2 and more.
