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 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 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.

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

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.

..it's not there's big things wrong with this series.. there's just not enough to latch on to and look forward to episode after episode.. as there's little, if any story-line carryover week to week.. and what they do present each week although not poorly executed, if you were to miss any of it, there would be no realization much had passed.. would imagine it might be possible they'd try for a second season, but keeping the current script formula in place does not bode well for much more than stretching out another season at most.. but as seen before, there are those have gone several seasons where the exact same might be said.. that's TV series programming today.

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 actually quite like the show and made it through the first season so far. However one thing that really annoyed me was in the final episode of the first season. You clearly see the team drive up in the pouring rain only to see them appear in the building, absolutely bone dry. This was a simple mistake that surely anyone would've thought didn't fit. Do they not hire editors?

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.

But the first episode of the second season was absolutely awful.

If this does not improve rapidly, it will be cancelled for good.

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 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 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.

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.

It's alraaaaate ...... not gripping but I found it's not bad to have on in background through day. But it's not for box setting sessions in the evening when the kids are in bed. It's no blacklist or billions. But it gets you through the day you can go make a brew and come back and still pick the story up.

I was so happy when season 2 of Ransom was announced. The cast is amazing and although the theme of each episode is the same (someone is kidnaped and CrisisResolution led by Eric Beaumont is called in to negotiate) each episode feels unique. It's not the typical drama we see in North America. The writing is clever with the episode story and the series story. I look forward to watching and learning more about each character and seeing how each one relies on the others.

Dull, poor acting, horrid show. I tried to give it 3 episodes but couldn't complete that!

Just love this new series Ransom. Frank Spotnitz has put a great cast of actors together. They compliment each other. Luke Roberts is excellent in his role. Just love him. Can't wait for next week to see the next show Regeneration. Great to see well dress cast and such great ending. Enjoying every minute of the show from start to finished. Such great scenery also plays a great deal of enjoyment as we wait for the concussion. We also need some love scenes that Eric falls madly in love with someone. We need a little romance once in a while. Hope that we see some in the next few shows. Keep up the great work and keep those showing coming every week.

All episodes are unique and captivating except series 2 episode Hard-line. The Dutch spoken in that episode is awful!! I am Dutch and I can tell that some of the actors couldn't even pronounce the words correctly. Only the parents of the abducted girl spoke proper Dutch. This was really off putting. I cringed most of the episode whenever there was Dutch spoken. But apart from this and two other episodes it's quite enjoyable.

Another shitty series to watch while you are so bored with your life. Cant believe how much these are coming from US. But who cares about series when your president is messing up every human real thing in this world. Oh 4 lines of truth wasn't enough. just doing what internet movie database wants. Peace.

Très bonne série d'action avec un scénario qui se tiens!

I have never seen worse writing and dialogue in a film or movie. Sometimes it looks like a student film. Too much dialogue with no substance or sophistication. Actors are trying hard but the lines that they are given don't work. Inexperienced riders and directing. The actors are trying hard but don't have nuance. Just get rid of the writers and have somebody who has studied film and watched movies a lot then you may have some thing. Very disappointing that the Canadian broadcasting corporation put in so much money all I needed was a new rider and maybe they would have something watch above. Amateur level trying too hard. I wouldn't hire writers.
