Quote :

"NBC's "Kidnapped" is a high-stakes serialized thriller in which the teenaged son of a wealthy Upper East Side family is kidnapped and everyone is a suspect. The series focuses on the elaborate, triangulated game between the kidnappers, FBI and law enforcement, and the private negotiating team contracted by this perhaps not-so-picture-perfect family. On a rainy New York morning, the idyllic existence of Conrad Cain (Oscar winner Timothy Hutton, "Ordinary People," "Kinsey"), a self-made millionaire with a long list of enemies, and his well-to-do wife Ellie (Emmy Award winner Dana Delany, "China Beach") is torn apart when their 15-year-old son Leopold (Will Denton, "Palindromes"), a smart but quirky kid whose innocence makes him the perfect target, is kidnapped on his way to school. The boy's bodyguard Virgil (Mykelti Williamson, "Boomtown"), the boy's first line of defense even after the kidnapping, is left to die. Desperate to find his son while keeping his skeletons hidden, Cain enlists the services of Knapp (Jeremy Sisto, "Six Feet Under," "Thirteen"), a professional investigator who works outside the law's strict rulebook to retrieve kidnapping victims and guide families through the grueling process, and Turner (Carmen Ejogo, "Lackawanna Blues"), his able partner and right hand. Operating opposite Knapp and his team are Special Agent Latimer King (Delroy Lindo, "The Core"), an experienced FBI agent who postpones his retirement due to a vested interest in this complicated case, as well as King’s colleague and antithesis, Agent Andy Archer (Linus Roache, "Batman Begins"), who only knows how to play by the rules."

I'm watching it, I like the "capturer" character, he's in a few other flicks and I've always liked his style.

Sure, this isn't some "24-type" thriller, but it's pretty decent and has a catchy storyline thus far.

good show, so far. great production value, good acting.

though its ratings haven't been so great so far, it is worth checking out. you don't have to have seen every episode either.. each episode is apparently supposed to have a one-shot quality, because i mean, this kid isn't gonna be rescued any time in the next couple weeks.

I hope it survives a full season in that time slot.

wtf, well I think they did a shit job of promoting it. The show was just starting to take off, atleast it sounds like they are gonna wrap up the storyline though.

10/5/2006 4:18:36 PM

that stinks
i like it

10/5/2006 6:19:10 PM

The Nine better get good fast or its gonna go the same way. That was one of the worst premiers I have seen for a show.

10/5/2006 6:29:10 PM

i watched the first episode and it was pretty decent - i was thinking about DLing the second but it's not that the show is bad. it's just that there's too many other shows to watch - and the number of shows that are socially more popular which you 'have to' watch to use as conversation pieces is also increasing

10/5/2006 6:42:08 PM

i like this show, at least they will show all 13 before cutting it

Sucks thay yanked this show from TV but if anyone is interested they are still showing the episodes online at NBC.

11/11/2006 9:35:19 PM

did they yank it off the air or just keep putting it off for different stuff?

like it keeps skipping a week or 2 then showing the next
