KarenKSep 28, 2006The first few episodes have been ok but I can't see this being maintained over the long haul.

BrandonSSep 7, 2006A standoff every week? That'll wear thin pretty fast. With such a limited premise, the show will be a bore within weeks. I doubt this makes it to the winter.

MikeTVNov 23, 2006I watched the first episode and looked forward to more. But then the next few ones came and I've stopped looking forward to any more. Badly written, badly directed and just plain bad. Fox seems to love these kinds of shows (cheap?).

Awards & Rankings
-
The series' unique angle lends itself to interesting psychological drama as it explores the hows and whys of hostage negotiation - even as it dishes out a heavy helping of FOX's de rigueur hoppin' hormones.
-
The series premiere suffers from a catalog of problems longer than most demand lists.
-
An awkward pairing of adult relationship drama and procedural cop show, "Standoff" bombs on both counts.
