What makes Hostages such a disappointment is the overly familiar/lame dialogue and plotting.

The 14 and 15th final episodes of Hostages aired Monday night, bringing the story of Dr. Sanders and her family's kidnapping to a gripping close, and those who did choose to tune in were rewarded with a great final hour.

If you get past the large leap and buy into the premise, Hostages promises surprising switchbacks and character development ranking among the best of the season.
October 08, 2013
Suspense-filled from the get-go, Hostages revolves around a family full of secrets.

Despite all its unanswered questions, Hostages is appreciably easier to grasp than NBC's competing new The Black List.

If I give a slight edge to Hostages, it's because Collette is one of those actresses I'd watch in just about anything, and because its 15-episode season means that whatever's going on here should become clear (or at least clearer) a bit sooner.

A show like Hostages really only has one chance to sink the hook into viewers. This premiere lets us get away.

There will be no episode two account of Hostages from this reviewer. They took an hour of my life and I refuse to enter into a dialogue with my captors.

Smart, intriguing thriller, but the opener is slightly overheated.
