I love Scott Caan so when I saw he was gonna be on this show I was excited. Dania Ramirez is a good actress as well. HOWEVER, she and the character Kemi are getting on my last nerve!

It has the potential to be a great show but those characters ruin the show especially Kemi's front and center "religion". If another "religion" (especially Christianity) was pushed so hard on a show, it would have probably never seen the light of day.

There is a difference between being smart and being a know-it-all; Kemi is a know it all. My husband is over this show so I will probably turn off the auto-record feature on my dvr after tonight's episode.

Oh and I have to agree with other's comments about Dania always saying (I can't even remember the character's name that's how much I no longer like the character), "we get our babies back, that's what we do". It was cool the first time but in reality she wouldn't be able to keep that promise.

Anyways, just my 2 cents.

OMG!!! If I hear one more time "we bring our babies back, it's what we do" I'm going to vomit!!! I absolutely hate it. Truthfully the best part about this show is the storyline about the son. That's why I come back each week. I want to know what happened and I want to know what's up with the sister. The missing persons track is okay. A new story each week. Sadly this is something too may people know all to well. Especially children going missing. I wish they all turned out like they do on this show. Sadly no. Actually there's A lot of this that isn't realistic. In if the big ones is the voodoo in the office. If it's a government office you da*m we'll know it would never happen! I don't care how woke. I could be wrong. Truthfully it adds nothing to the show anyway. But it's not as bad as the tagline. Didn't I mention I HATE IT! And want to punch her face every time I hear it. Maybe thats just me.

I enjoyed Scott Cann in Hawaii 5.0, so I gave this show a try. He remains likeable, but I'm quickly running out of patience with the writing and with the other characters. Our heroine, a detective specializing in recovering people who have disappeared, is entirely too sentimental: if I hear her say one more time "we get our babies back", particuarly when referring to middle aged people, it will be one time too many. There is another detective who thinks she has had past lives, and connects with the victims' families by rubbing eggs on them: now this was cute once or twice, but it's getting weird, and perhaps a bit cruel when she supposed with sandlewood allows a comatose patient to communicate for a very limited few lines. Unless you want an audience of all 20 year olds, cut back on the sex triangles. In the real world, sex in the back room of a police station is going to get you fired.

And the older daughter looks maybe five years younger than her mother, and certainly older than a high school student. My husband says that they're highly specialized police professionals, and they're acting like horny teenagers.

I gave it 3 episodes just to be fair,,, But I will be deleting this show from my list!! The script is so unbelievably boring... the show drags and I find myself checking how much longer I had to endure this lackluster barely thought out show. The scenes are so far from reality and really gives a misunderstanding about what happens when a missing child is found and processed. I could probably place a bet that no TRUE research was done before they started writing the script. It's all around BAD!!!

Scott needs to start looking for a better show because this one will only put him in a negative light.

I have now gone through three episodes of silliness that comprise this show, and have decided that that's enough to consign it to the trash heap.

Many of the characters seem to be incompetent when it comes to doing their jobs as police officers. I was especially annoyed that this force would employ someone who practices voodoo or some such spiritual belief, not just on their own, but in the presence of other officers, and even victims' families! "Take these eggs, they will give you hope" WTF?

And then there are the parents whose son was kidnapped, who latch desperately onto the hope that he has been found, ignoring clues to the contrary. Really foolish police work, there!

I'm not sure who is at fault here. Probably not the actors, they just perform the roles they are given. But their managers/ agents need to be taken to task for associating them with this dreck. The writers are probably most responsible, as are the producers and directors who accept and approve their work.

Sorry, folks, but as the voodoo cop might say, "I see no Emmys in your future"

Drop the we get our babies back line. Also, maybe make some of these people not come back. It's not believable that they save every single person who goes missing. Who are they trying to kid with that?

Also. The beginning part of every episode where everybody is looking at their phones for a missing personal alert. That's BS. Nobody has ever gotten an alert like that in the history of people getting alerts.

Other than that, I like this show.

I really wanted to succeed, but sometimes I just wonder if it's going to get canceled at any moment.

The acting isn't terrible. The writers just need to do a better job overall.

I'm not one those people where a Tv show has to be bordering on high art to be good. I'm pretty forgiving of artistic license if the show is entertaining but Alert is a hot mess. You can feel the writers' room throwing everything at the wall to make the show interesting. The problems with this show are numerous. The characters have baggage they stop an investigation to talk it out. Like airlines they should have a baggage limit or pay a fee. The humblebragging. Characters have to list their achievements all the time. Most breakthroughs have to be explained for two minutes while forgetting they have 60 seconds to save a life. Inappropriate behavior. Two of the unit members are in a relationship. In one scene, they tell parents finding their child is their top priority and then go into closet to bang. One of the characters believes in past lives and mysticism, etc. But her behavior is meant to be quirky and cute when it's pretty offensive. In one episode, she asks to rub eggs on the parents of a missing child for good luck! WTF! The same character chewed out a person in a planning department for not being able to identify a property's address by the dimensions of a southeast facing basement. Yeah, planning departments don't work like that. There's a lot of technobabble on digital data manipulation that is designed to compete with CSI forensic technobabble. There's a lot of manufactured action scenes that are silly and just there for the drama. And I'm only scratching at the surface of the character and story issues this show has. The problem is no one is standing back from it all to keep their show from getting silly. The shame of it is there's a good show here if given the right attention.

I have to admit i was excited when i heard Scott Caan was making a new show and reprising his role as a detective ( See Hawaii 5-0 ).

The first season of Alert had promise, okay the idea had been done before but it started off well, Scott and his ex wife had to find missing persons and as each episode went by it was there son who become the shows focus, firstly finding he was missing then to have him returned, the whole was he their son or not had you thinking but when the 1st season ended i thought ok that is another 1 season wonder.

How wrong i was and i was excited to see a 2nd season, and personally i think the 2nd season is miles better then the 1st with lots of change and new ideas, Scott still has his Detective Danny "Danno" Williams mannerisms.

Excited to see where this season goes and do not read into what the people who rated this show less than 6 stars.

Not a fan of Scott Caan but decided to give this a try anyway. Not bad though not good either. But still it's watchable. Some parts of the show are better than others. I think it needs time to wear on a person. The more episodes I watched the more I got involved with the characters & got to kinda like them. So I'll probably continue watching as there isn't much else to watch. Not a reality TV or game show fan. So I will hang in there & hopefully it will get even better over time. I think people should give this a chance & not give up on it. The show just needs time to develop so just hang in there.

The female characters are awful.....plus the main female character's main tag line is "we get our babies back." No police officer would ever promise. Just yuk... what is with the lighting/burning in a government building..dark forces should abduct her...it's a shame some of the story lines could work.

Some of it is too unbelievable, needs a lot of work. It's a shame I like Scott Caan and some of the lines given to him are very tired. Also no cop would ever call suspects "baby" they would end up being on report or getting retrained.

The computer work is too shonky and the only thing of interest is their son. It is weird he is not getting treatment and being checked out for dna. The storyline needs to be fixed.

Watchable but nothing special. One of the plots is the lead having her missing son back and the daughter doesn't believe it's her brother. Why not a simple DNA test? Makes no sense. I hope this show gets better as time goes on. This could end up being a one season show unless it improves.

Too many politically correct shows these days having women beating up the hell out of bigger males. How TV shows have changed in this day and age. Not as bad as Rookie Feds where that female lead is totally horrible and unwatchable. Seems all these companies just need to fil the air with anything. I will give this one a few more watches to see where it goes. But take a damn DNA test. LOL.

Idk where to start. The plot is terrible and the dialogue is really bad. No logic or common sense was applied when writing the script; the main characters make dumb decisions and the scenes go from one to another without warning. Also, the acting is AWFUL! I loved Dania Ramirez on Devious Maids, but that kind of cheesy acting doesn't work on this show. And Scott Caan is giving his usual flat performance. But mainly it's the plot that makes this show so bad--a major thing happens toward the end of ep1 and they just go about their night/next day like it's an average Tuesday. Don't even get me started on the plot and acting in the beginning of ep2. I doubt this show will be on TV for very long.

Alert: Missing Persons Unit is now my favorite show on TV, it has everything I want in a series. It has a back story where they show the main characters stories and they continue in a serial format and they have a different story for each episode. I love everything about this show and I hope it continues. I was so excited to see that a second season is available. I love the characters, the writing, the cinematography and the whole look of the show. I think Fox has a real hit and I can see this show having at least 5-10 seasons. This show will be rewatchable for many years to come. I was reading the reviews and I don't understand the low ratings. I suggest everyone watch Alert.

I thought I would love this show as a crime scene/cop show junkie and Scott Caan fan... but the female lead is so unbearably annoying I'm having a really tough time continuing watching.

I like the premise and the storylines are intriguing but, she ruins it. Poor acting and the stupid lines: "we get our babies back, that's what we do", along with her promises of getting back whoever is missing are just blah.

Also the drama between her new fiancé and ex husband is a little much... she goes from dedicated fiancé to reminiscing ex wife and the 2 men are caught up In weird ways bc of it. Takes away from the story

Will prob see this season out, but not beyond.

It would be bad enough if my only complaints were simply the bad acting and writing, but this show goes way beyond that! To have one of the main characters constantly tell parents of missing children that "We get our babies back." is unforgivable. Police don't say such things! This character also promises them a happy ending and that is absolutely disgusting and an insult to any one who has had a family member go through this. Whoever is responsible for this outrageous writing should be ashamed of themselves. The acting and dialogue make this show seem like an amateur production. This shows needs to be either get new writers and actors or just be taken off the air.

While there are some aspects of this show that annoy me like the weak writing only held up to a good standard by some sound veteran acting and some fresh new faces. The script is weak at times, for example raising some fascinating issues but not following through to explore them with depth. In short, a little superficial about issues that are not at all shallow such as the response of young people to kidnapping trauma and physical and sexual abuse.

The relationship issues are also appropriately complex but just need a little more follow through. Every week there is a different and gripping kidnapping story and they are all fun and satisfying.

The underlying story of their son's kidnapping is really fresh and unique and I am know up to episode 8 and enjoying the twisty turny journey as we discover fragments of the truth about Keith but are left itching for more. This is a somewhat light watch but by no means without its merits and I am enjoying many of the different and unique side characters. Only wish I could binge the rest of the season NOW.

I really like the concept of the show but I am going to stop watching because I can't stand Scott Caan. I record the show so i can fast forward any scenes he's in. He tries to act like a tuff guy but comes off like a loser. He ruined Hawaii Five-0 for me too. Wish they would have cast someone different!!! They need to stick to missing children with that fantastic alert system. I get very few amber alerts on my phone. There should be an alert system like the one on the show so millions of people could help search!! Stop all the side stories that Scott Caan keeps interfering in. He's just a horrible actor!!!
