JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
iix-31422 SPOILER Ep 11. Kids get kidnapped because of bullying.Parents don't know what chat rooms are in 2017. Please. Eric saves the day. Do we need more of this? NO.So much potential but The producers chose the easy route. The characters are not well developed (At least not enough to bring me back to episode 12 that's for sure)
matthijsalexander Mediocre show with mediocre acting, but that isn't a surprise because ransom can only be about one thing, of course.Ransom, like Bull(sh**), is yet another attempt to milk the CSI-ish and Criminal-Mind-ish Cow. One would think that producers and writers would acknowledge that this genre is so incredibly 'milked' that one would need to come with something remarkable in order to impress audiences.I wouldn't really recommend watching this to anybody, unless you have absolutely nothing else to do. It wont impress, it is not captivating rather you will find yourself distracted easily, and if you'd miss 15 minutes of an episode you wont really feel the need to wind back, you'll simply continue as the stories are flat and predictable, characters are shallow and entertainment value lacking.
linadigiulio Just love this new series Ransom. Frank Spotnitz has put a great cast of actors together. They compliment each other. Luke Roberts is excellent in his role. Just love him. Can't wait for next week to see the next show Regeneration. Great to see well dress cast and such great ending. Enjoying every minute of the show from start to finished. Such great scenery also plays a great deal of enjoyment as we wait for the concussion. We also need some love scenes that Eric falls madly in love with someone. We need a little romance once in a while. Hope that we see some in the next few shows. Keep up the great work and keep those showing coming every week.
randymcbeast There are some absolutely brilliant TV shows being put out these days. This is in part due to the additional streams of content coming from the likes of Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and of course the older TV newcomers like HBO, Showtime, etc.In some cases, network TV has raised the bar to remain competitive and then there are shows like Ransom where it's just garbage that will inevitably be canceled mid-season or soon thereafter.I just don't understand how a network like CBS can spend millions of dollars on such a crappy show, especially during a time when the competition for producing great content is so rapidly increasing. You think they would hire better people, people who wouldn't dare release such a weak show.Now, I've only watched the first episode but it was so bad that there really isn't a reason to keep going. The cast was demographically thrown together, the story was full of holes and unrealistic scenarios, and it's your typical struggle then happy ending fake plastic TV trash that is contributing to the downfall of network TV.Let's look at the first episode a bit more closely. A new college grad gets rejected from a job with this crisis agency but doesn't take no for an answer. In the lobby of the agency, after being rejected, a kidnapping news story comes up on the TV. She zips over to the kidnapping in a taxi, shows a business card of the crisis agency she took before leaving to the police officer guarding the scene, and he just lets her in. She then casually strolls into the building and into the war room where the hostage negotiation is taking place with nobody questioning her at all. She then puts her two cents in as the negotiator is on the phone with the hostage taker, and nobody says a word or throws her out. You get the drift and the whole episode goes down like this. Stinky, stinky, waste of time rubbish.It's now just a matter of time before it gets canceled. CBS has failed big time with this show and the fact that they actually released it is a strong indicator that the network is heading further into irrelevance.
