Crisis

Crisis did have something that you don't see too much anymore: Original.

The plot for the series was pretty original as Crisis center around FBI Special Agent Susie Dunn (Rachael Taylor) and Secret Service Special Agent Marcus Finley (Lance Gross) have to join forces to help find and save students of Washington,D.C. children who were kidnapped.

With the rest of the cast being Dermot Mulroney, James Lafferty, Stevie Lynn Jones, Halston Sage, Michael Beach, Max Martini, Gillian Anderson.

The show is interesting that it feature some good acting and some interesting character development and tense moments.

But the show lack on some of the story because you can't always focus on one type of story line and why NBC cancelled the show.

But still Crisis did feature some good thing such as the music in the series was pretty good, the characters become more interesting as you watch the show, some plot twist you won't see coming and sometimes you'll be wondering the good guys from the bad.

The show did feature some psychological factors that would play tricks on your mind.

Each character bring something to the show which is now a rare thing so actually Crisis did have some promises it's just that it lasted for one season.

But with the story being what it is I would consider this to be like a mini series of course.

Just give Crisis some time you'll be surprise

The kids of some powerful people are on a field trip. Their bus is hijacked. Secret service agent Marcus Finley (Lance Gross) is given a new assignment to protect the president's son. He manages to rescue one kid and he's teamed up with FBI agent Susie Dunn (Rachael Taylor). She has a secret daughter who's on the bus. Her sister Meg Fitch (Gillian Anderson) is a powerful woman who assumed the mother role for the girl. Francis Gibson (Dermot Mulroney) is a father of one of the kids and is secretly the brains behind the kidnappings. He's on a vendetta against a mysterious scheme from CIA head.

This is a very unbelievable unreasonable show. The only thing is that I could buy into it because people would do anything to get their kids back. That's the point that I could always cling to. The scheme and the action moves fast enough that I don't dwell on any clunky moments. It's definitely better than another similar show 'Hostages'. It has its moments as long as you don't think about it too much. It's a midseason replacement that was canceled before it finished its first half season.

Crisis is a fairly unique show these days. I like it and look forward to seeing it each week. My biggest critique with this show is the production staff's lack of volume control. It's loud.. it's soft.. it's loud again. Constantly. Good plot, good cast - moves along really well but I'm forever having to adjust the blasted volume.. background music should be just that.. in the background. I can understand the need to do that with a really slow moving plot, you know, just to keep viewers awake but it's not needed with crisis. Sure, some may be unrealistic but I am not turning on a documentary - it's entertainment. I'm also really enjoying the interior shots of the "mansion". Good camera work on top of a good plot. I think we will see some of the younger actors go further once this story plays out.

the pilot episode has a great potentials but a lot of series recently had that but never made it so what sets this one different from the other *** cough *** last resort *** ? well its smart it doesn't treat you like you have a 6 years old intelligence although it has many peaces as most plots does for obvious reasons but it doesn't feel chaotic . i think you will enjoy the plot and might even be interested about what will happen next , the only reason i reduced my vote was that the visuals were way off which killed my mood but still the high paced events directed my attention away from that . overall good pilot , check it out .

I watch this series only for 4 episodes and I think this is a good series.

The story is good, fresh and entertaining. The conflict is good and the actors are also good.

the minus part of this series is the main character agent Susie Dunn played by Rachel Taylor. she lack the emotion and couldn't bring the character more.

I'm not a feminist or else but the cast for agent Susie Dunn should be someone with more emotion to the story, knows about government agent stuff and etc. I also think that Rachel Taylor is more suited in other role than becoming the main character.

If only the main character was played by other female actor it would make a better show.
