Ransom

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.

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'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!

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.

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.
