What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the CBS television network, Ransom follows experienced crisis and hostage negotiator, Eric Beaumont (Luke Roberts). He and his team are brought in to save lives when no one else can. Eric understands criminals better than they sometimes understand themselves. Using his keen insight into human behavior, Beaumont is able to resolve even the most difficult kidnap and ransom cases. Eric’s team is played by Brandon Jay McLaren, Nazneen Contractor, and Sarah Greene.

Telly’s Take
Talk about needing a crisis negotiator. Ransom appears to be in dire straights. The premiere episode (which aired on a Sunday night) earned a poor 0.85 in the 18-49 year old viewer demographic and drew 6.65 million viewers. It moved to Saturday nights and the numbers are poor, even for that night of the week. CBS is one of several partners on this show so it’s unclear how much it’s costing them or, if the ratings will make much of a difference in the renewal decision. I think it will be cancelled but you never know.
10/10/17 update: Ransom is renewed for season two on CBS. Details here.

What do you think? Are you glad that CBS renewed Ransom for a second season?
Please renew this show! And please give it a fair chance on a different night.
I think this is an excellent show, much better than most. It is unique with good acting.
Love ❤️ this show but I am not in the age group that counts. They are all out on Saturday night. What does CBS expect on this day & time slot? Needs another season on a different day to see what the 18-49 age group think. Most comments are positive so what can it hurt?
Why does CBS always do this to us I love these show. Only 12 episode for Ransom and what about Bull also cancelled
Please keep ransom on I love this show its one of my favorite shows its very well written and we’ll acted so please don’t cancel it
PLEASE, CBS renew this great show. It is the only decent airing on Saturday nights. Superb cast who work well off of each other.
Very good show. Smart and entertaining. Wishing 1st season longer…CBS: please renew!
Was switching around when I found Ransom and really like it. Don’t cancel it
Please keep show very good
I like this show. I DVR it every Sat. Please renew we need something to watch on Saturdays.
I really like this show, I hope they renew for another season!!!!
Love this show!! Hope it continues for a second season.
Intelligent show, good acting. Please don’t cancel!
If it’s on Sat. say good-bye. No ads and no watchers = bye bye. Like it though.
Three episodes in and I’m having serious doubts about continuing to watch this. The “liberties” taken with reality are seriously undermining the stories. I’ll give it one more episode, but if it doesn’t improve I’ll be done with it.
Super good show. Found it by accident. Should be advertised better to get more viewers. Viewers are used to only seeing repeats on Saturday night so they don’t even check to see what’s on
