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.

This is a show that should definitely be renewed. Great chemistry between the actors and very suspenseful all the way. It’s s keeper.
I love this show. Awesome acting and keeps us on hedge! Please renew!
I hope ransom comes back for season 2
please renew it
Please leave Ransom alone . It is a good show . You guys never give these new shows a chance. Show it on Wednesday or Thursday night when there isn’t much else on . People aren’t home on Saturday . Get rid of some of those stupid reality shows .Real Housewives for starters .
My family and I really enjoyed this series. With such busy schedules it’s often hard to sit together, however this was a TV program we all sat together and watched. It would be a shame if they cancelled the series.
Please renew. I like it really well. Eric B. handles incredibly difficult situations incredibly well. He’s a modern day Jesus.
I really like show Ransom!! Please renew!!!
I like Ransom. Please renew!!!
Please renew Ransom. I love this show.
I am not in the age demographic that counts but please consider renewing this very entertaining show that does not rely on superheroes ,trashy reality scenarios or guns battles to keep those of us over 50 engaged in a series with depth and well developed characters.
Please renew this show. It’s nice to see a show that relies on brainpower, not so much firepower.
