David Keeler I was waiting for Dillon Mcdermott to come out and kill Dermott Mulroney... it should have happened... YOU KNOW IT! other than that it was a decent show I don't know what else to say other than the whole canceling thing and postponing then coming back on out of nowhere was confusing... need to do another season. it was nice to have something to watch Sunday night after Cosmos. that is about all i have to say as far as a review.. but now i have to fill up 10 lines according to this stupid error message i keep seeing when i try to submit this review. so i guess i will just say hi to everyone and and thanks for reading, OK bye

MovieMan66 A preposterous premise taken to a self-indulgent and pretentious extreme. Children of powerful parents including the son of the President of the US are kidnapped and taken hostage from an elite school. The parents are blackmailed to do things furthering the personal agenda of a disgruntled ex-CIA operative. The entire might of the US security forces come to naught.The FBI, Secret Service and other assorted security agencies are made to look like modern Keystone Cops equivalent. While these worthies are shown as being competent (sort of), they are outwitted at every turn by the unlikely blackmailer who has somehow got masterly overriding control over the communication network of the entire governmental apparatus. Very hard to swallow! The 'Crisis' uses the 'frying pan to the fire--from one crisis to another crisis' type of storyline. Movies like the Expendables-3, or Indiana Jones or Tom & Jerry cartoons successfully use this device. Unfortunately in 'Crisis' it is badly done and not half as engaging. That the episodes are set at an unrelieved monotonous ominous pitch without any kind of relief or contrast is only one reason. The plot line is one dimensional as are the characters. While there is a fascination to see what will happen in the next episode, after a few episodes the format becomes too tedious and contrived, leaving one disengaged from the disingenuous presentation. On the plus side, the production quality and acting is quite good for what is really a hack writing job. Think of the "Crisis' as a high quality Ed Wood production. It may develop a cult following.Overall--It's like watching an unreal disaster happening while in a state of paralyzed, morbid fascination...'Crisis' is laugh off-able, and not watchable beyond a few episodes. 3 stars for effort and a tip of the hat for the money visibly spent on producing it.

a3338140 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.

lloydp53 Some diss the acting, but I think it is respectable., although the personalities are too shallow and predictable if they maintain the current status. It's too predictable and unbelievable. The girl is too stupid to figure out her father is in on it. Really, even after they burst into a room with fire extinguishers in hand? There is another IDENTICAL mansion that has to be in the same general area? Built year.s ago, and no one noticed the match? Or worse yet, built recently? They have the info on several agencies to such a degree they can be two steps ahead, and have plans and detailed contingencies worked out even when conversations take place off-site. You not only would need planted operatives in every agency, but every other person would need bugged. We have to buy into the FBI, CIA, secret service, and a few dozen highly trained individuals are fairly stupid people that lack a few brain cells, while the main perp has to be seriously clairvoyant. The plot needs to be messier with real life contingencies that make it a back and forth. Without some deeper personality development (people are much more complicated, and most have sides to them that show up as duplicitous Jeckle/Hyde characteristics in moral decisions), and realistic plot situations, I may have to bail.
