Sheri B @RT92485289 03/02/2025 I found this show streaming on Paramount plus. I had never heard of it before but am now in season 4 and I am really enjoying it. I don't know why the critics are giving poor ratings for.. but I always go by audience ratings anyway! See more claire c @RT91684975 11/28/2024 I always find it interesting when “critics” say a show is “generic” or “uninspired” and then the audience loves it. Kinda makes me think that the critics are looking for something entirely different from those watching. I like the show, the stories and the characters. Can’t imagine what it would feel like to be a part of a swat team but I’ll never be and am not supposed too. A viewer is supposed to be carried away by a story and that’s what it did for me….personally I wish it would have kept going. See more Sarah R @RT45521868 02/17/2024 Not bad. Recognize a few actors from other shows which always makes it better. See more steve d @RT35616104 07/26/2020 Colantoni and Johnson carry a show that has some really intense and interesting stories. See more 12/21/2019 This is the best police show that I've seen to date. It shows the ups and downs of police work and that sometimes not everything goes right like in real life. See more 07/03/2018 Pros: Well researched writing Accurate demonstration of tactical intervention outstanding acting performances (especially to enrico colantoni) Cons: props (although the tactical equipment used are realistic, their applications are not accurate to real sru operations) fOR THE AVERAGE audience, CBS' first installment to their line of shows predicated on tactical unit operations, flashpoint may seem as a show that provides no depth to its characters which is an understandable argument for a show that wishes to tell the story of a character/characters throughout a significant span of time in their lives. However, Flashpoint is not that kind of show, it is more of a documentary that showcases how the elite tactical law enforcement unit SRU operates in response to certain situations in which precise tactical intervention is necessary. This is obvious in the well researched writing that gives no notice to the civilian audience by carefully and appropriately using terms utilized by law enforcement operators during missions in which their skills are required. The writing also gives the audience the option to do some research as well. By not providing depth to the show's characters, the audience is left to put all their attention away from the characters' arcs and forces them to focus on the show's fundamental premise which is to demonstrate the Strategic Reaction Force's outstanding contribution to keeping the peace among the canadian population. I personally recommend this show to any fanatic of the tactical world because this show gets straight to the point. See more Read all reviews
