Ransom

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

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.

I've watched 10 series of the show and think it is captivating and worth seeing. Apart from main line about ransom we learn bit by bit about main characters and boy, do they have juicy secrets. Most episodes have really well-developed plot, all characters are charismatic and interesting. I am waiting for new episodes. Really like it!

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.

I am enjoying this show. It is good TV and finally something to watch on a Saturday night. Interesting plot, interesting and complex characters, and great intrigue. Hopefully it won't be a one season and done. It is tough to become interested in a good program to then see it end after one or two seasons. Perhaps viewers will give it better marks once the overall plot and the characters develop throughout the season. I am looking forward to see how Beaumont handles the gal who joined the team for a personal motive. I love the CBS line up and this show is a great addition.. I would like to see a little more character development without distracting from the great ransom/abduction story lines. Episode 4 was a step in that direction and the best episode yet. Can't wait to see more.
