A Look At CBS's New Dramas (2013-2014)

Hostages

CBS's Pitch: From executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer comes a high-octane thriller about a family taken hostage in their own home. Toni Collette stars as a surgeon caught in the middle of a grand political conspiracy, who is ordered to assassinate the President of the United States in order to save her family. Dylan McDermott stars as the lead hostage taker compelled to do the wrong thing for the right reasons in this taut drama filled with unexpected twists and turns.


My Thoughts: Boasts a strong, nice narrative twists, and has lots of dramatic tension, but I question the plots longevity. I probably won't be watching.

Intelligence

CBS's Pitch: Josh Holloway stars as former Delta Force turned U.S. Cyber Command über-agent in a crime thriller that explores the unlimited possibilities of technology. With a special microchip implanted in his brain, he has become the first super computer with a beating heart.


My Thoughts: The leads have great chemistry, and there looks to be a solid mix of both procedural and serialised storytelling elements. I might watch.
