Amazon.com:
Full of drama, suspense, and action, Kidnapped has all the makings of a taut whodunit. When the teenage son of a wealthy family is kidnapped, Conrad (Timothy Hutton, Ordinary People) and Ellie (Dana Delaney, China Beach) Cain hire a renegade investigator named Knapp (Jeremy Sisto, Six Feet Under) to get their child back. Knapp is abrasive and not at all concerned with breaking the law as long as he is able to save the victim. Still, he could work on his people skills. As one old woman asks, as he bullies his way into her house, 'What kind of name is Knapp?' She's got a point. Unless you're famous, announcing yourself simply by your last name is pretty pretentious. All 13 episodes of this NBC series--which aired during the 2006-2007 season--are included on this three-disc DVD set. And unlike many shows that are canceled within a year, Kidnapped offers viewers closure and a finite ending.
While the first few episodes dealing with the kidnapping are gripping, the show layers on some subplots that fail. Is Ellie having an affair with a prominent politician? Did Conrad kill his ex-mistress? Neither character is particularly likeable, so the viewer doesn't really care. Hutton, who is superb in so many other projects, never rings true here. Speaking in a tough guy accent (when he remembers), his character is never convincing as a boy from the wrong side of the tracks who made good. And Delaney is never quite believable as an uptown girl who doesn't get particularly flustered when she has to protect herself from an assailant. (Explaining her ease handling weapons, Ellie says, 'I know how to shoot a gun. My father's a Republican.')Other characters get to delivery clunky lines as well. When FBI agent Latimer King (Delroy Lindo, Get Shorty) is asked if he thinks there's a leak in the office, he knowingly says, 'If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...' Like ABC's Murder One, Kidnapped asks a lot of its viewers to have patience and watch a drama unfold over a series of several months. The problem is that unlike Murder One--which was also low rated--the plot here isn't nearly convincing enough to be warrant the wait. --Jae-Ha Kim

Rating: - Kidnapped
When this show aired I did not give it a chance simply because I was overloaded on episodic series (Prison Break, 24, Lost) and did not feel strongly enough about the show having seen the previews. I thought it'd be too "gimmicky" and felt that I'd "catch it on the rebound". Unfortunately NBC cancelled the series so I was really happy to get my hands on this DVD set.
From the menu with the attention grabbing phone call & distorted voice stating "WE HAVE YOUR SON", I was hooked. This series is everything that network tv should strive for - a compelling story, great cast, great script & suspense. I began to figure out who was behind the plot near the end of the 12th episode and found myself crying during the 13th, that's how good it was.
The lead actors are all terrific starting with the cool as Shaft performance by Delroy Lindo as the retiring FBI agent, Mykelti Williamson as the dedicated bodyguard, Carmen Ejogo as the smart as a whip partner to the locator (I loved the scene where she flips the female assassin who dismissed her as a "computer nerd"), Jeremy Sisto, the troubled locator and finally Dana Delany & Timothy Hutton as the agonized parents.
I was engrossed in this show and stayed up late a few nights to finish it and although the current price is a little high for only 13 episodes, it'll be money well spent if you missed this show during its network tv run.

Rating: - Excellent!
Why was this show cancelled again? This could have been the best series of all time! I was on the edge of my seat for the whole thing and no matter how many times I watch it, there is still more to catch. By far the best acting and writing television has ever seen!
Rating:  - Kidnapped - Jeremy Sisto
I bought this to watch because Jeremy Sisto was in it. It turned out to be much better than I anticipated. Too bad they didn't continue with the series.
Rating: - I <3 this show!
I found this show just this year and I was so bummed to find out that it was turned into a mini-series only. It was playing on one of the HD channels and I was immediately hooked. I missed the first five episodes in the series and had to buy the DVD set immediately as I couldn't wait for it to replay. But then, of course, I still had to watch it as it played on UHD as well. Great series, awesome cast, very well written. I only wish there were more, MUCH more!! Sisto RAWKS as Knapp. Love it!
Rating: - Excellent show !!! Glad they made this DVD.
I got hooked on this show from the first episode, and I really missed it after it was cancelled. It's a good thing the network allowed the producers to continue making episodes, and finally put out a DVD.
This is an excellent show that told a gripping story. I wish more shows would be made as good as this series.
