Everything about this series is exceptional, the production values, the casting, and the riveting plot. While most of today's crime dramas seem to center around the same old tried and true CSI and Law and Order formulas of-crime committed, investigation proceeds, cops figure it out and prosecution is executed within an hour , this series involves the exploration of the affect of the crime on all of the individuals touched by it.
The fact that the writers have an entire season to explore reasons, relationships and consequences, gives this show a level of depth that most movies, let alone television series are no where near achieving.

I hope they make more of them. They were, to me, as captivating as Prison Break. Basically, this series mixes the plot of "Ransom" with Mel Gibson, and the plot of "Man on Fire" with Denzel Washington and come up with a concept in which every other scene reminds you of one of the two.
Certain scenes, characters and plot lines are literally the same. And because of it, the series becomes very predictable. If you haven't seen the films in question, you might get some enjoyment out of this.
However, you would be much better of just watching the movies. It wasn't a surprise to see it cancelled, quite frankly, I'm surprised they even got away with it in the first place. Series based on movies are almost always disappointing, and it this case even more so because they don't even seem to acknowledge the original material from which they "borrowed".
CareyDaste 25 December This was the best thing I've seen on TV in a long time. The casting, direction, music It was too bad I had to watch the remaining episodes online at NBC. NBC made a huge mistake in cancelling this show.
This was a show that we all looked forward to week after week. That's what made Kidnapped great We are all hoping it comes out on DVD. I'll buy it even though I've already seen it Brilliant short lives series! I loved everything about this series I would have been counting down to the next one! No clue why this series was ended, it was a brilliantly done TV show that should have continued!
The characters were very well developed throughout and I found myself immersed in both the story and the individual characters. Have passed this box set to friends and family with a similar response!
What is wrong with networks these days? The amount of crap produced and this slips through the cracks This is the kind of quality show that should be on television, not half the detritus that's on today.
Expertly plotted, always engaging, superbly acted. The series is not for the whole family; there is a lot of violence and gore graphic depictions of people shot in the head ; also some drug use and promiscuity on the part of the Cain's college-age daughter. Still, on the whole, the good guys really do turn out to be admirable characters. I rented this series from netflix on a whim, and boy was it ever worth the investment. I loved it from start to finish. Even the one character who I thought was pretty lightweight turns out to have an incredible twist at the end.
Go and see it - you won't be disappointed. I had such high hopes for Kidnapped when I first heard about it last year, the people who would be involved, the quality money they were spending on it.
You just knew NBC had high hopes, too. Unfortunately, in their ongoing quest to deal out as much profits to the head people running the network as possible, Kidnapped suffered from their unrealistic and illogical, poor attempts to advertise this show.
No interviews, no visits to shows like Today Show or Letterman, no nothing, except a few views of one scene of the first episode. No one knew that the show was a mystery; they didn't understand it, so they stayed away. NBC made no more attempts to understand or fix the problem; they just dropped it because, according to the higher-ups, it was too expensive to produce, and they'd rather put out game shows so as to get more profit.
It was that good. And they blew it. Brassy4 29 September Kidnapped is a show that will keep you asking questions thats for sure! From the 1st show I couldn't take my eyes off,and I keep coming back for more , Will Leopold get away? Does Sully have anything to do with Leopolds kidnapping? Will Conrads Dad help from a far to close the gap of father an son? Will the Mom play a bigger role in the family secrets?
No wonder it takes a whole season for this all to play out!! Did Knapp get someone killed is that why he's not a agent anymore? This show gives you a look into the family of the victim, lets you get to know some history of these people and understand how it effects them. Kidnapped does not just jump in and show you whats going on , it lets you get to know others that may have some shady past and dealings with the Cains, it tells you a story if your willing to see the out come of this show for the season you will be pleased and come back for more.
I can't wait, I keep coming back for more it's my NBC addiction! Check out kidnapped on Nbc Wednesdays It is simply unbelievable how stupid the major networks were in cancelling this in N. Many thanks and happy New Year. The writing and acting was tight; the full story and denouement were amazing. When viewers chase on the internet after episodes promised and not delivered by the networks then the quality was evident. Only most will never know how good the story and series were, and what it potential was.
Given the show was canceled after 3 weeks on NBC, I would assume there would be quite a bit of skepticism around the show. That being said, everyone makes mistakes and NBC made a big one here.
Kidnapped has the same complex characters, interesting plots and strong acting that makes 24 such an addictive franchise. But apparently NBC lacks patience and would rather create another lame game show for its programming.
Anyway,Kidnapped is a great show. If you like 24, you'll like this show as well. The acting is superb as well, throughout the cast. Most of the lead characters are complex and are relatively well developed even though NBC decided to cut the number of episodes down from 22 to If it ever comes out on DVD, check it out.
This was too great of a show to be canceled! Nbc made a BAD decision to cancel it without giving enough time for people to discover this excellent drama. Even though it is now canceled and they even stopped showing the episodes online at nbc. The characters are ALL well thought out and played really well by the actors. He really has a great future in acting. This was a much better show than Heroes!
