TV show description:
This drama series details the lives of the Strategic Response Unit (SRU), a special force that is called on in severe situations that are too intense for regular officers. Based on the real-life Emergency Task Force of Toronto, Canada, the expert cops are often called upon to rescue hostages, dissipate gangs, negotiate with kidnappers, investigate bomb threats, and talk down possible jumpers.
While the SRU is heavily armed and specially trained, their real assets are their expertise in dealing with human emotions. The team explores the “flashpoint,” or the critical point that has suddenly triggered a person into action.
Sergeant Gregory Parker (Enrico Colantoni) leads this talented team of officers. His team looks up to him as a father figure, and he is gifted with an innate ability to read people. He’s been practicing since he was a young boy when he had to predict whether his father was about to hit or high-five him.
On Parker’s team are charismatic Ed Lane (Hugh Dillon), who is addicted to his job; observant Julianna “Jules” Callaghan, a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police; Mike “Spike” Scarlatti (Sergio Di Zio), the rebellious “little brother” and rookie of the team; sniper Sam Braddock (David Paetkau) who is smitten with Jules and was formerly a member of a military counter-terrorism task force; former troublemaker Lewis “Lou” Young (Mark Taylor), a street smart gang expert; gentle Kevin “Wordy” Wordsworth, a man driven to keep the streets safe by the love of his children; and forensic psychologist Dr. Amanda Luria (Ruth Marshall), who is able to get to the truth by using her sense of humor.
Episode #75 — Keep the Peace, part two
The members of Team One have no time to mourn the loss of Team Three leader Donna Sabine and one of her colleagues following the explosion of suspect and psychiatrist Anson Holt. The team learns that the perpetrator is actually Marcus Faber. He is one of Holt’s former students and a victim of his sadistic experiments.
Team One races through Toronto to defuse all of the remaining bombs. Greg Parker attempts to disable the last bomb in the catwalks of Fletcher Stadium and is twarted by Faber. A gravely injured Parker succeeds in diffusing the bomb and Ed Lane saves his life by fatally shooting Faber.
One year later, we find that Greg has retired to teach at the police academy. Spike and Winnie are officially a couple. Sam and Jules have their daughter, Sadie. Sam is the new leader of Team Three and Ed is promoted to Sergeant.

I am so tired of Good shows being shut down because some Twit feels it has nowhere to go. How to make us Not Watch network TV.
PLEASE..PLEASE..Keep this show going. I am soo into it.
This is the only show that my daughter, granddaughter and I will put down our phones and watch. We need to pause if anyone leaves the room for a minute. There is no other show like it that enthralls us like this. We want to watch another 75+.
PS My granddaughter is only 18 and she loves it.
Wow! This is a great show. Can’t believe it had low rating! Well written and good drama. Some one please pick this show up and continue the series.
When I first started to watch it I love it it should be renewed after all ed lane was promoted to sergeant so now he in charge so it should be renewed to see how he do as a sergeant

I love this show .The cast is great.I love it. Don’t cancelled. Just put it back. We (Fans) deserve good shows like that. Don You think People?
This show should be renewed! I was real disappointed to hear about the canceling. We need more shows like this one, not the dumb reality tv show. PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW!!!
I found Flashpoint after it had been cancelled; I don’t know HOW I missed this show!! It’s one of the best shows ever!! Original cast, all excellent! Would love to see this show renewed!
Me too! As much as I love cop drama I don’t know how I missed this one. Absolutely a great show.
Cancelling this show was one of the top 3 worst decisions ever made. This is without question the best show, story line, performance, cast, and emotions. The cast works. This could have easily been a 10+ yr show. The producers were obviously only in it for the money!!!!! Very poor decision making. 🙁
Please continue Flashpoint for another season. It is very well written and my husband and I enjoy watching it. Please renew this show with all the same characters. My husband and I look forward to seeing this show. It is a good one.
Do not cancle flash point I love absoloutly love this show if it gets cancled I will be so sad
RENEW PLEASE. My husband and I LOVE this show.
RENEWED!!!!!!
This show is one of the best shows on TV!!!!Right up there with Criminal Minds. Please renew this show and with all the same actors. They are Teriffic!!! Please do not cancel this show.
Very well directed show, better than any of the other police shows on. please start another season
