Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
faiza_khan I have to say, i wouldn't normally watch shows like this bur honestly it was straight to the point, anyone can watch it as it is not confusing. Also, its only 15 episodes which is quick. I enjoyed how it was political but there's these big twists. Honestly wish it could move onto another season. Was so upset when it finished. Would definitely recommend. You do not have to be super smart to understand the concept. The characters are all really good and i loved them all. It is not a typical storyline so its not something you have seen before. I am planning to watch it again as i watched it a year ago. Please watch it! You will not regret!
Mr_Blond23 Unique premise, with extremely poor execution. The show just stumbles along until viewers decide to give up. I rarely stop watching a show before the end of the first season at least, but I just did myself a favor and cancelled future recordings of this on my DVR. I can only hope the crusty network execs at CBS decide to put this show out of its misery but not renewing it...The character set up is all wrong. The writers try to build drama into the home situation that simply is not believable. Worst of all, the show is centered around a totally unsympathetic, unlikeable, and unattractive main character.The only way for it to go is down. I would very much like to meet someone who thinks this is a top notch show, only so I can find out what kind of sweet heart deal they are getting from the network to say it.
bytheriv At first I thought it was poor acting and an unlikely story, but I'm hooked by watching the DVR'd episodes. I love the twists and turns of each character's loyalties and possible evils....the bad guys are beginning to look like the good guys and even the family members are changing their weaknesses and character. Anticipating a very surprise ending! Looking forward to the next episode!! I am also recording "Blacklist" which comes on at the same time and day. I am also hooked on that show. I don't usually watch TV intensely but my husband has been gone a lot in the past 3 months so I have indulged in these serial shows. I thought I enjoyed Blacklist more than Hostages, but now I think they are both equally exciting and full of suspense. Both shows make the viewer leery about what actually goes on in the higher levels of the government! Who can you trust??!!
Jeff Hendrix This show is truly the best comedy of the year. The writing is so laugh-out-loud funny, my household has turned guessing what ridiculous plot twist will occur next into a game. Each week, the action becomes more embarrassing, the dialog more mundane, and the plot more unbelievable; from the Dr. arriving just in time to prevent her husband from injecting the lead kidnapper with his own poison, to the Dr. and her husband attempting to kill the lead kidnapper thinking that this will end their family's terror (even though they are aware that at least a dozen other people are in on this). The acting is horrible (especially the kids and Toni Collett). There is no suspense left in the plot because, after five episodes, each family character has been revealed to be incredibly stupid, yet the writers continue to move them through ever more stupid scenarios.On the bright side, the show is so bad that it does provide some comedy relief. During the times when you don't want to strangle the cast members due to their stupidity, you have to laugh at how stupid their world must be that they could achieve such lofty positions in life.
