nicola-j-peacock Boring nonsense. Turned off after 20 minutes! The characters are disjointed and it's too coonfusing to begin with! Don't waste minutes/hours on thIs hard to read (what's with subtitles appearing on the top of the screen then jumping to the bottom?! Sort it out NetFlix

LEGOSAM1234 . This is literally the most gripping, tense, detailed series I have ever watched. I find everything about the series fantastic, the cast, the characters, the story lines and everything else. I believe this show is a perfect balance between a real life situation and a CIA action thriller. The story lines had me glued to the screen each week and with every episode, I became more enthralled by the character's back story developments. It was even more intense with the complicated twists and turns that the plot took and how everything was interlinked in some way or another. The characters were also perfect, having a blend between a family and hostage takers and seeing them develop a strong relationship was truly captivating. This series gets a 20/10. Absolute Genius !!!

Katy-palmer09 Despite reading some bad reviews on here me and my husband decided to watch the series after seeing it advertised - and I am very glad we did! We loved every bit of it and got completely hooked from start to finish. Both of us are unsure as to why the series has received such bad reviews. Our only negative is that because it was so gripping we watched the entire series in just three days! I most definitely recommend watching this, I even registered an account to tell people so :- ) I hope it gets renewed although sadly I am not sure it can be.

Lasher820 While I read negative reviews of this show quite often, I found myself wondering if this show would be worth my time. I mean, from the previews before it started I would ask myself "How can they do this as a series?" A mini-series? Sure, but a TV Series with maybe multiple seasons??? That point aside, I decided to drop my skepticism and give this show a chance, (I mean ANYTHING beats another mind-numbing, brain cell killing, coma inducing Reality Show!!!)It took me a few episodes to realize this isn't just a show about Hostages or Assassinating Presidents; there are serious character layers and sub-plots that got me hooked each week and wondering what the heck might happen next! The actors are pretty stellar, the characters are well thought out and you find yourself flipping your opinions about who they are and what drives them. Sometimes I feel pretty sympathetic to the "Bad Guys" while having no sympathy for the family, others I am torn, sometimes I like them all. The thing that I find more intriguing about this show is the ruthlessness of the "Real" Players (Spoiler) (they aren't the Hostage takers!) So as the show progresses I can see the logic of it being a series. I could actually visualize a 2nd Season; because whether they succeed in the assassination or not, all of their lives will be at stake! Don't underestimate this show. It has some very top notch serial drama going on (Think "Who Shot J.R.?", cliffhangers but every week. I find it's better to DVR it and watch a bunch in one setting because I am impatient and hate to be left hanging. There is only 2 episodes left and it doesn't look like it will be renewed for a second season, so get caught up on the official website before January 6 when the show returns for its last 2 episodes. This is also the best way to get into the show without getting frustrated by the numerous cliffhangers. I want to champion this show, not because it's an underdog...but because it really is good drama, good acting and a dang good show overall!!!!
