Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Engaging characters and story lines but the sound editor needs to be slapped for playing music over dialog so we can't hear it.

I am thoroughly enjoying "Ransom". It captures and keeps my attention throughout each episode. The story lines are varied and fresh and depend on intellect rather than brawn and muscle. The interactions between the characters could be more developed but they do form a cohesive team. The acting is on par with other top rated TV shows. I definitely recommend this series.

Mediocre show with mediocre acting, but that isn't a surprise because ransom can only be about one thing, of course.Ransom, like Bull(sh**), is yet another attempt to milk the CSI-ish and Criminal-Mind-ish Cow. One would think that producers and writers would acknowledge that this genre is so incredibly 'milked' that one would need to come with something remarkable in order to impress audiences.I wouldn't really recommend watching this to anybody, unless you have absolutely nothing else to do. It wont impress, it is not captivating rather you will find yourself distracted easily, and if you'd miss 15 minutes of an episode you wont really feel the need to wind back, you'll simply continue as the stories are flat and predictable, characters are shallow and entertainment value lacking.

I like mystery and cop shows. Ransom promised both so it was intriguing to me and I gave it a chance. The way the young college girl got into the first scene without ID was a bit far fetched. The head of the agency is a bit of a James Bond type which is appealing. Beaumont is like Bond in that he is mysterious and well dressed but can handle any altercation! There is a story within a story which I find holds my interest. It looks like this could be stories that are resolved each week which also appeals to me. Complete the problem and story each week and let me move on! I think it will be an entertaining show so I will continue to watch it. If you like the above you will like the show.
