Inspired by the real-life Emergency Task Force of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, this taut police drama chronicles the efforts of the Strategic Response Unit (SRU), an elite and highly skilled group of cops charged with rescuing hostages, defusing bombs and breaking up gangs. The series title comes from another part of their job, however: getting inside a suspect's head and discovering his emotional "flashpoint" that triggered the crisis in the first place.

John Doyle Globe and Mail 10/03/2018
Flashpoint always has a vague Canadianness in its texture - in the seriousness of the act of killing, the lack of swagger with the guns and other weapons... [and] never about solving a crisis with guns blazing. Go to Full Review
Rob Salem Toronto Star 10/03/2018
Flashpoint... has always emphasized the human factor, from the cops to the public to the villains of the week. Go to Full Review

steve d 07/26/2020 As much as I love having it back this season feels anticlimactic after season 4. See more 10/30/2014 Watched 3 seasons of this melodramatic crap, hoping it would get better. NO SWAT team would be corrupted by this touché/feely BS. Snipers who second guess their shot? Give me break! See more 05/27/2014 Weakest season in the whole goddamn series. The only two episodes I liked was the two-part finale. The rest is disappointing, but nonetheless cheesy Canadian fun. See more 02/18/2014 Amazing series, great storyline with great characters that you really get attached to. Its sad it ended, I want more episodes. See more Read all reviews
