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?
This is a very good show, characters are likable. Saturday was a great night to put it on, there’s few options for those of us who stay home on the weekends.
Ransom is a great show. It has suspense and fantastic acting crew. No cursing and nude scenes which is what the majority of TV is all about these days. With the cancellation of this show it is getting down to “Nothing worth watching on TV” and no use in paying for expensive Cable. This is a bad decision by CBS!
I feel like you. Lots of suspense, no nudity, bad langauge, and no awful gruesome killings. Great show
Brilliant show, ended on a cliff hanger … it must come back.
Bring Ransom back, give it a chance, it’s a good program.
Bring back Ransom, I loved it and am very disappointed that you may have cancelled it.
PLEASE, PLEASE bring Ransom back. You TV Network guys don’t give shows a chance. All your shows can’t be in prime time slots, but they “ARE” good!
Love this show please renew and a better time slot would be helpful.
Great show! Very interesting. Please do not cancel.
Love this show- please don’t cancel
Just saw CBS cancelled Ransom. Why it is a good show on a night that nothing is offered on any channel including CBS. Hope some non prime network picks it up, because that is where I go when I need entertainment.
PLEASE RENEW…finally, a show that is thought provoking and interesting!!!
Please do not cancel Ransom. It is a great show. My husband and I watch it all the time.
Please please please renew this show. The show premise is great and smart. There is little violence but a lot of thinking. Maybe the most viewers aren’t in the magic demographic but I believe we have as much buying power or more than they do. Save this show!!!!
The 18 to 49 demographic that the industry plays to doesn’t have as much money to spend as we who have already brought up our kids and paid off our mortgages. I don’t understand their thinking.
Please renew this show!!!!!!!
We love this show!!! My adult children watch it, my sister my friends. It’s a decent show with very little violence and bad language. They cancel all the good shows and keep the trash!!
I agree Darlene. Most of tv is unfit to watch. I hate reality shows. I want entertainment, not somebody making idiots of themselves.
Finally a decent, well thought out show on Saturday evening! Keep it…good story lines, great team.
