Tailor-made for the viewer who found CBS’s cockamamie “Hostages” far too believable, NBC’s ridiculously conceived new drama “Crisis” (premiering Sunday) is about the kidnapping of a busload of very important teenagers who attend an elite private school in Washington. One of them is the president’s son, so it’s a crisis, all right. The FBI musters all of its available broadband so that a lot of characters can stare at a wall of giant monitors, look concerned and order drones into action.
Then again, what’s so ridiculous? What’s so unbelievable? I ask because even as I write this review, there is still no sign whatsoever of that Malaysian Airlines flight to Beijing that disappeared last Saturday carrying 239 people. The theories about what happened to the plane are getting no more or less strange than the shows that so frequently materialize on any network’s prime-time schedule.If you squint a certain way, and if you tolerated enough of “Homeland’s” second- and third-season swerves, why not buy into “Crisis’s” harmlessly dumb premise and see where it leads?
