Only one season and then it was cancelled in 2014. If you like 24 or Olympus/London has fallen, this 13 episode series is right up your street. Shame that there will not be a season 2. Loved it. The plot was sometimes a bit far fetched but after all this is entertainment so I do not think we should complain about that too much. Gillian Anderson still acted a bit like Scully and I could not get that thought out of my head. Overall though I think it was excellent.Quite a good storyline.Scheme its not having another series. Never mind.

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.

The show started off well and had me interested because I could buy the notion that maybe SOME parents would sell out their company, colleagues and country...but every single parent committing heinous acts AND without consulting with authorities to at least gage their options first? The writers and/or producers of this show have made a flawed premise that underlies this show and must think that Americans are seriously THAT stupid. I also doubt, after reading all the reviews, that 7.4 is a real IMDb rating. This show should have a much lower rating. I for one, stopped viewing the show after the 3rd or 4th episode because of the ridiculous premise this show is based upon, that saving their child is the only option considered by ALL people on EVERY occasion and with little to no hesitation.

The Crisis seems to be that all government personnel as well as the richest and most powerful citizens and their children are all idiots. This is even worse than Hostages (although it often seems like they used the same script and I do sometimes get Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney mixed up). And it is nice to see that being taken hostage doesn't affect the rich kids' narcissism and self-centered sense of entitlement. None of us knows yet what the real purpose of the abduction was. But as time goes on, I care less and less. There is no one to root for here. Agencies fight with agencies. Parents fight with agencies. Parents fight with parents. Please see any BBC series where people with fundamental differences come together, over all adversity, to solve the problem. That is not the case with Crisis.
