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.

I accidental watched Crises and liked it, and will watch the next episode also, and i actually like the concept of Crisis, but pushing it much further then 6 to 8 episodes will be hard, and the planed 13 is stretching it!

So i don't get what the studio's are thinking, when they OK'ed a project like this as a series, when everyone knows it will properly bleed to dead in the first season.

So for me it was fun to watch, and will see how far i can go before i zone out of the series.

I liked most of the of the acting even do some of it was a little bid over the top, but then a series like these, you must not compare it with series like "White Collar", "Person of Interest" or Gillian Anderson small pearl "The Fall" ware i cant wait to see the next season of on the BBC.

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.

the pilot episode has a great potentials but a lot of series recently had that but never made it so what sets this one different from the other *** cough *** last resort *** ? well its smart it doesn't treat you like you have a 6 years old intelligence although it has many peaces as most plots does for obvious reasons but it doesn't feel chaotic . i think you will enjoy the plot and might even be interested about what will happen next , the only reason i reduced my vote was that the visuals were way off which killed my mood but still the high paced events directed my attention away from that . overall good pilot , check it out .

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 watch this series only for 4 episodes and I think this is a good series.

The story is good, fresh and entertaining. The conflict is good and the actors are also good.

the minus part of this series is the main character agent Susie Dunn played by Rachel Taylor. she lack the emotion and couldn't bring the character more.

I'm not a feminist or else but the cast for agent Susie Dunn should be someone with more emotion to the story, knows about government agent stuff and etc. I also think that Rachel Taylor is more suited in other role than becoming the main character.

If only the main character was played by other female actor it would make a better show.

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

I am like super hooked can't wait until the next episode . I have never did a review , but watching this show just got me hyped. I have been glued to both episodes so far , since seeing the preview. Tune in people it's something worth watching thus far ;-). This show seems like there are definitely going to be more twist to come . The preview for next week looks like it's going to be good . I hope this show can keep the interest there , and not go off on the deep end too much . Not really sure how many directions you can take this plot , but who knows I've seen screen writers pull rabbits out of almost anything , so il be waiting .

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.

This show is amazing, I look forward to watching every week with my family and coming to work to talk about it.. Very different from the TV series that are out right now even the ones I watch. My sister told me all about the show and since then I have been hooked. It should definitely be advertised on more channels, I think if this show came on a little earlier it would have more viewers. It is such a "talk about" show, normally I wouldn't pay a show like this any mind but once you watch it you want to see more and more. I would love to see a second season, to see the outcome of the kidnappers. This storyline of the show is very interesting and leaves you craving for more.

I really enjoyed the first episode of Crisis, which was well-paced, engaging and intriguing. I was honestly excited for the series. But then, after watching two more episodes plus the first ten minutes of one more, I stopped.

I stopped because the series was really not that pilot. The pilot was simply setting up the premise, which involves watching a psychopath with a possible noble aim force kidnapped kids powerful parents to do things to further his ends.

There are a few things that bothered me about this. First off, the psychopath has people working for him who don't seem to be invested in the psychopath's goal and it's unclear why they're taking orders from a guy who comes across as nuts. And the whole parents doing horrific things to save their children is a little far-fetched. Some would, some wouldn't, but the fact is, a number would be likely to look to the government to help them rather than sneak around. It just never convinced me.

Also, I really liked that black guy who was a big part of the first episode, but I saw less of him and more of that woman, and I just didn't find her that interesting a character (nor did I care about her sibling rivalry.

I would have watched the series I expected from the initial episode, but I have no interest in watching the series that followed it.

If you like a complex story, this is what you searched for.

Awesome show!!!! good thing i didn't listen to you guys. I need more,

such brilliance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i mean i know it's not for everyone but the way you guys comment it's like you're watching it but you're paying attention or judging it too quickly, not giving it a chance. Or perhaps you were just in a bad mood lol :D

Well that's it, but it says here i have to write 10 more lines for this review to be ready for submission. Oh what should i write now? oh i know, how about "this 10 lines thing sucks."

Wow it's still not enough, not what? Well i had a good day today, i just finished the first season of Crisis. It was good, a little fast though, i didn't think Meg was capable of doing that. Well i think it's enough now, byeee.

I don't know what it is about the series, if it's just poor casting, but none of the characters seem realistic in the least. Even the ones portrayed by good actors (Gillian Anderson) seem totally unrealistic. You can't take yourself into the story because everybody is acting so poorly. What's even worse about this series is the quality of cgi and effects. It looks like something that came from the SYFY channel. The violence is poorly coordinated and it's all wrapped up into a lump of coal.

This is just another series trying to get the 24 feel. Unfortunately, nothing was done right, and it ends up being a cheesy disappointment.

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

I like the premise. It was pretty good but some of the acting was sub-par. I think this show could have went on further to expand the story. Overall pretty good show but not enough to be 10/10 quality.
