Ransom

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!

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 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.

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

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.
