HOSTAGES, from executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer, is a high-octane suspense drama starring Emmy Award winner Toni Collette as a premiere surgeon thrust into a chilling political conspiracy when her family is taken hostage by rogue FBI Agent Duncan Carlisle (Dylan McDermott).
Dr. Ellen Sanders (Collette) and her family are held captive in their home by Carlisle, a desperate man doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, who orders her to assassinate the President (James Naughton) when she operates on him. His highly skilled accomplices include his brother-in-law Kramer (Rhys Coiro), whose loyalty to Carlisle will be tested; quick-tempered and intimidating Archer (Billy Brown), an ex-military man with a razor-sharp tongue; and the only woman involved, Sandrine (Sandrine Holt), a mysterious last-minute replacement to the team. With her family’s life in peril, Ellen faces an incomprehensible moral dilemma in order to save her overbearing husband Brian (Tate Donovan), her secretive daughter Morgan (Quinn Shephard) and her not-so-innocent son Jake (Mateus Ward).
In this high-stakes standoff between Ellen and Carlisle, fraught with tremendous national and personal consequences, the choices between right and wrong become even more blurred.

so there is no season 2...
I think the hostages are suffering from the Stockholm syndrome, they are desperately trying to get caught over and over again :/
It's a good show, but how long will it last?
for me it isn't a crap, the plot is such gripping, i don't get you guys
this show is stupid, i'm done
so the kids escape to canada and instead of seeking help the boy calls home and they're trapped again
seriously?? i bet he's never watched CSI or NCIS or Law & Order or whatever
This is really good, i don't get why your calling this crap
The crap-fest continues, as a 2 part series, or even a 3 or 4, this series could have been great. No one has any end game here, be it the surgeon, the kidnappers or the executive producers of the show.
Sad to see the talents of Dylan McDermott being wasted in a show like this. High time Jerry Bruckheimer retired from the tv business.
crap :)
