Critic Reviews for Hostages: Season 1
All Critics (42) | Top Critics (21) | Fresh (24) | Rotten (18)
Hostages hardly breaks new ground as a psychodrama with violence hovering in the air. But it could open new options for the television procedural.

Smart, intriguing thriller, but the opener is slightly overheated.
Despite all its unanswered questions, Hostages is appreciably easier to grasp than NBC's competing new The Black List.

If you get past the large leap and buy into the premise, Hostages promises surprising switchbacks and character development ranking among the best of the season.

A show like Hostages really only has one chance to sink the hook into viewers. This premiere lets us get away.

Suspense-filled from the get-go, Hostages revolves around a family full of secrets.

Audience Reviews for Hostages: Season 1
Dylan McDermott and Toni Collette lead the cast in the CBS drama Hostages. When the President goes under the knife for a routine surgery a group of mercenaries hold the surgeon's family hostage in order to force her to kill the President; but soon things get complicated and the family begins to question whether they should be helping the mercenaries instead of resisting them. The season starts out a little weak as it tries to seed too many subplots, but around midseason it finds its focus and begins to weave a compelling conspiracy. While there are some problem with story structure, Hostages delivers an entertaining 15 episode first season that's exciting and full of thrills.
