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

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 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.

I thought Crisis was an awesome show. Every episode kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. I loved the story line and the cast were amazing. I particularly liked the chemistry between Rachel Taylor and Lance Gross. I would've liked to have seen a romantic relationship develop between the two. I thought Dermot Mulroney's acting was flawless. I'm used to seeing him in more comedic roles, my favorite being Michael O'Neal in My Best Friend's Wedding. But after seeing his portrayal of Francis Gibson, I realize he is so versatile and talented and I think he should act in more of these action thriller type series. I was a bit disappointed that they killed off James Lafferty's character Mr Nash. It was great seeing him on TV again after One Tree Hill and I would have liked to have seen him play more of a pivotal role. This show appeals to a wide range of audience from teenagers to adults. I know because I have a big family and we were all so addicted to this show. I have no idea why it got canceled! Please bring it back!

I'm disappointed they canceled this great and exciting show, while other TV series go on season by season and have really nothing to tell.
Just saw the last 2 of the only 13 episodes and think these were the best of the whole season. The Story was very thrilling and original and had a great cast with many well known actors (like Rachael Taylor, Gillian Anderson (who seems to become even prettier with every year) and the fantastic Dermot Mulroney).
I enjoyed watching this series very much and recommend it to everyone who likes crime, action and twisted plots and doesn't wanna have to stick to a show to for too long.
