Is anyone watching the CBS miniseries "Hostages"?

[grasswire]

The president's surgeon has been forced to participate in a plot to assassinate the president by poisoning him during upcoming surgery. Her family is being held hostage in their home by a team headed by an FBI agent who is also a secret service agent and involved in the plot. It's very intense and complicated. Many subplots and twists.

Tonight we learned that the reason to harm POTUS is because he intends to cancel the Total Information program of the NSA, and the head of the Total Information program will become president.

The president's chief of staff is in on the plot. So is the first lady's sister.

Geez. It's a nice escape from the real news. Ha!

9. The Blacklist is great.

Hostages lost me quickly and I love Toni Collette so I did not want to be lost....Spader is so good on The Blacklist.

2. I am. I didn't wanna like it, but

I'm hooked.

(Side bar: every time I think the word "Hostages" I chuckle to myself and pronounce it "Bastiges", and if you get that, you're as old as I am! LOL)

5. The irony in Hostages

is that the hostage-takers are also hostages to what is going on.

6. I tried to get into it, but went back to one of my favorites, Castle.

I did see the part where the Dr.'s husband injects a poison into the chief kidnapper.

BTW, is this a miniseries? I don't see them being to sustain the plot for a long time. Sooner or later it's going to come to a head.

[Beacool]

13. It depends on the weather.

Right now I could cuddle with all of them. It's cold in NJ!!!

8. Recording it for later viewing

Watching "Blacklist." That story is absolutely made for Spader, and is the script he has been waiting for all his life.

10. Based on a single episode of Person of Interest.

I thought the POI episode was better.

[TeamPooka]

11. POI is awesome.

14. Not going to watch a show that has as its plot to kill the president.

Doesn't make sense to create a show that should be killed when the president is killed.
