The series follows Eric Beaumont, the top kidnap and hostage investigator in the world as he uses his insight into human behavior to resolve cases cases with the most dangerous criminals.
The series can boast a unique premise and a promising cast, but the pilot falls short of delivering a truly compelling hour of television... a lot may need to change if Ransom is to have a long future at CBS.
I never shook the feeling that I was watching something that, from cast to the overall aesthetic, we weren't meant to see on American network TV, except for maybe in the summer when [better] Canadian productions... have thrived.
It's not bad television, really. It's just by-the-CBS-book television. Episodes will mostly be self-contained, although the relationship between Beaumont and Carlson will provide a long-game string.
With a ton of shows out there just like it, the trick will be in getting those who already have full TV schedules to make room for a series that doesn't immediately stand out from the crowd.
