Newsday
Smart, intriguing thriller, but the opener is slightly overheated.

The Hollywood Reporter
It’s a pretty great first hour and if they can keep up the suspense before changing direction, it might be a feat worth watching every week.

San Francisco Chronicle
Overstuffed though the pilot is, the show works because of the performances.

If the writing can bring invention to the thriller parts and smarts to the domestic parts, and invention, Hostages could have an indefinite hold on our imagination.

Newark Star-Ledger
Sanders' husband (Tate Donovan) and teenaged kids are each shielding their own secrets, uncovered by Carlisle and his crew--and covered up by them as well. Unfortunately, they're fairly pedestrian.

Slant Magazine
Hostages feels as if it's impulsively running on autopilot, periodically checking off boxes on a laundry list of genre clichés.

Hitfix
The characters wander a spectrum from boring to irritating (guess which end the two teenage kids wind up on?), and the situation already feels unsustainable by the end of the first episode.

Des bons acteurs (et des bonnes actrices) ne transforment pas une série de merde en carrosse, surtout lorsque c’est un produit Bruckenheimer écrit ou plutôt torché à la va-vite comme un torche-cul, bourré de clichés (évidemment) mais aussi de rebondissements bidons ! Tout ça (évidemment) pour rallonger un fil conducteur beaucoup trop ténu à l’origine. C’est donc peu crédible voire carrément invraisemblable mais aussi très politiquement correct, stéréotypé et sans surprise aucune. En outre et enfin, ça pédale dans la semoule constamment. C’est de la merde, cette merde !
