I really enjoyed the first two seasons. Tho I didn't like the idea of Maxine being Eric's second cos she wasn't really helpful and sometimes too stubborn that she'd get the team in trouble. Her character was written just to put conflict or drama in the main character's story. I also didn't get the relationship between Eric and his wife / ex-wife. They were like teenagers who couldn't make up their minds if they're together or not. What really made Season 1 and 2 great, were the episodic stories, not the main characters' stories.

Third season wasn't much about negotiation anymore. It became like any other cop/crime show.

Though the way they presented themselves will most likely not happen in real life, the drama is about Eric and his team who work for a private negotiation company. For those who like "Flashpoint" - a Canadian police drama television series that debuted on July 11, 2008 on CTV, it is similar to that drama without the police and the gunfights.

Not a totally bad drama, but could be better. At times, you could feel the adrenaline go through. I like this overall, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

Maxine came from no where and went right to #2 REALLY? All the people who worked with him for years ect and they just get pushed away because he has a guilt/emorse because she lost her Mother when he was working with others? PLEASE. NO WAY the team/others stand for that I do not care what you say She is useless in the stories Get RID of her character

Season 1 and 2 were great, they really got into the minds of people and explained how the human brain worked then season 3 came out and instantly you could tell doming changed. They took the physiology out of the show and replaced it with a the same thing every other crime show has. I hope it changes and become one of my favorite shows again

Looking forward to a possibility of character development as the stories unfold. I enjoyed the characters presented. Also, the possibilities of back story revelations adds intrigue. I can see the possibility of a lot of breadth with this possibilities for plot. The pilot had me wanting to see how diverse the hostage situations will be as this one was unique in its "second level". We saw a beginning taste of only two of the characters in the company. I look forward to meeting the personalities of the other key players. The reason of why no weapons are used when meeting the "bad guys" is expected soon. Also, The back ground of our principals are a good reason to return for future episodes.
