It's like a greasy chicken parm at the Olive Garden

In the same way that I am the only person watching Dracula on NBC, I think I must be the only one watching Hostages on CBS. I was even giving the reboot of Ironside a chance until it became obvious to me that it was super hokey. There was some episode where he had a flashback to a drug deal gone bad and his fat partner had to come to his rescue because he broke all the rules. I yawned and thought, "Won't be watching this one again." After that it was canceled, LOL, so I guess everyone else felt the same way.

But Hostages I can't figure, other than it's up against The Blacklist, which is a great show. But still: Hostages is not terrible. It's like a greasy plate of chicken parm at the Olive Garden: it's not as good as what you find in an authentic Italian restaurant, but it is a guilty pleasure. I know Reese's cups are not haute cuisine, but I still like them. It's kind of a silly, campy, shitload-of-plots going on at once TV miniseries. You know it can't and won't last forever because at some point, Ellen will have to do the deed or not and then everyone deals with the fallout. I kind of like the idea that the uptight, yuppie family is full of shit. Daughter is prego, sonny is a weed dealer, dad is a cheating-ass liar, sister is in the nuthouse, mommy is snogging with the mastermind in the bedroom. My friend, Jon, was trying to convince me to watch Sean Saves the World and I was like, "Not even your description of what you found funny about it sounds funny to me. Pass."

I was excited, however, to read about this little possibility:
