Hostages Pilot Thoughts
Broadcast by:
CBS (USA), CTV (Canada)
Hour-long drama
Hostages is a poorly thought out drama for a TV show. It feels better suited for a movie, and it even has a cast that I would expect to see in that movie. It has a good cast, but it doesn't do anything with them. It establishes little to no motivation for why the family is being kept hostage, it doesn't provide a sufficient enough background for any of the characters, and it has no real long-term goals to keep it interesting to watch week after week. The strong cast certainly helps it, but it most definitely does not save it.
2/5
