Kidnapped

This was the best thing I've seen on TV in a long time. The casting, direction, music..... everything was excellent. It was too bad I had to watch the remaining episodes online at NBC.com, but we were all thankful we could at least see them. NBC made a huge mistake in cancelling this show. This was a show that we all looked forward to week after week. It was not just another Law & Order. Even though I love Law & Order, it is just so predictable. That's what made Kidnapped great....all of the twists and turns. We are all hoping it comes out on DVD. I'll buy it even though I've already seen it .... especially if they add back in episodes that were not shown! :)

I sent the following message to site (http://members.optusnet.com.au/nickhalloway/episodes.htm) streaming last episodes: Thanks to your terrific site my wife and I were able to watch all of Kidnapped (just finished day 13).

It is simply unbelievable how stupid the major networks were in cancelling this in N. America. We hope it comes out on DVD the same way Firefly, Boomtown and Wonderfalls did.

Many thanks and happy New Year.

This series felt like, and was as good as Man on Fire. The writing and acting was tight; the full story and denouement were amazing. When viewers chase (on the internet) after episodes promised and not delivered by the networks then the quality was evident. Only most will never know how good the story and series were, and what it potential was.

Viewers hooked on Kidnapped, which was far-too-quickly yanked from NBC's 2006 fall line-up, watched a superb cast that included Jeremy Sisto, Delray Lindo, Dana Delaney and Timothy Hutton, play out the multiple twists and turns of this suspenseful thriller on-line. Will Denton delivered a focused, utterly believable performance as Leo Cain, the 15-year-old kidnap victim, who played a gripping psychological cat-and-mouse game for survival with his captors, brilliantly portrayed by Robert John Burke and Otto Sanchez. Even secondary characters had gripping back stories and the acting was uniformly excellent. The plot kept viewers guessing and stressing. When and if Sony provides a Kidnapped DVD, SNAP IT UP!

With movie production values, an excellent ensemble cast and an unpredictable and gripping plot, "Kidnapped" is a recent gem of the small screen. Why a television series of this quality failed to attract a large audience is a mystery and it's a genuine shame that the series was axed after its first season.

Timothy Hutton plays Conrad Cain, a billionaire who has his son kidnapped for reasons beyond money. Dana Delany plays his beautiful wife. It's the guys who are brought in to find the missing boy that really bring the series alive, though. Delroy Lindo is very likable as just-retired FBI agent, Latimer King. Jeremy Sisto is the unconventional Knapp, aided by the beautiful Susan Kelechi Watson. Watson is a face to look out for in the future.

One of the best series of the noughties, I'm going to miss it.

8 out of 10.

I do not really care for TV unless I am absolutely bored and there is nothing better to do, but this show made me drop everything I was doing and just watch in awe. It was by far the greatest show I have ever watched. The acting was superb and I commend all of them on their wonderful jobs. Jeremy Sisto is especially incredible. I have never seen him in anything before, but I will definitely be keeping an eye out for things he is in in the future. I cannot, for the life of me, imagine why NBC would cancel it, but it is their loss. I will definitely be buying the DVD now that I know it is available. I wish NBC would bring it back!
