The teenage son of Conrad and Ellie Cain, a wealthy New York City family, has been kidnapped - and everyone, it seems, is a suspect. Desperate to find their son, they hire an expert named Knapp, a man known for his high-profile (and particularly dangerous) rescues. With Knapp on board, the Cains try to stay under the radar of local law enforcement while dealing with the kidnappers and growing distrust of each other.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

While Kidnapped boasts fine performances and a compelling hook, the series' premise does not lend itself well to the elongated format of a network season.

There is some smart, stylish writing and excellent acting, particularly from Timothy Hutton as Conrad Cain and Delroy Lindo as Special Agent King. Go to Full Review Joanne Ostrow Denver Post 09/26/2019
The psychological torment depicted... and particularly the profound sense of vulnerability, is something modern audiences can relate to, post-9/11. Go to Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post 09/26/2019
It reflects a trend toward the grim and even ghoulish in new fall dramas. But for what it is, it's an extremely accomplished piece of work -- unsettling in ways that few suspense thrillers manage to be. Go to Full Review Chris Hicks Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 09/26/2019
It's quite good, with an excellent cast. Think of it as a long miniseries. Go to Full Review Scott D. Pierce Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 09/26/2019
As with all such shows, we'll have to wait and see how this one plays out. But the pilot does an excellent job of setting up the story, so there's reason to hope. Go to Full Review Roger Catlin Hartford Courant 09/26/2019
There's a terrific short version of the abduction that is at the heart of Kidnapped, but it's stretched out so long in the pilot as to lose its tension Go to Full Review Read all reviews
