    characters are not holding to truth

    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

    Totally is about negotiation, dramatically

    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.

    Good series! Captivating

    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!

    Looks like a possibility for plot and storyline

    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.

    Great show but...

    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
