This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Let's be realistic.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Finally: quality network programming - so nice to see a program that is not another cooker cutter NCIS / CSI? Criminal Cookie Cutters / etc, etc.1.)Stunning sets. 2.)Brilliant plot twists and scripts 3.)Redeemable acting that can only evolve with the scripts 4.)Conceivable back drop story lines that can follow / adjust well. 5.)Sophisticated and psychologically well presented The problem with this program: it is TOO GOOD to succeed.One can only hope that it will serve as a spring broad for the cast and crew. They deserve it.

SPOILER Ep 11. Kids get kidnapped because of bullying.Parents don't know what chat rooms are in 2017. Please. Eric saves the day. Do we need more of this? NO.So much potential but The producers chose the easy route. The characters are not well developed (At least not enough to bring me back to episode 12 that's for sure)

I have enjoyed both episodes so far, as has the family. This is based on an actual person, like Lie to Me was, as well as Scorpion. I would rank this above Scorpion, which has gotten mundane. Lie to Me is better than this. But, I really like the characters in this show, and look forward to further character development.The stories are good and are unique when compared to other hostage negotiation shows. The main character uses realistic techniques, so that is a plus. The technology is not realistic, yet, but is entertaining. If you like Flashpoint, or Bull, or Lie to Me, then you will really like this show.

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.
