As Nikki, Ramirez offers a stalwart, no-nonsense balance to Jason's off-kilter energy, and she handles a showy stunt sequence in the premiere nicely. And Caan, reliably, is the everything bagel seasoning that keeps Alert from being just another bland lump of procedural dough. Read full review

Elements of this storyline in the first two episodes truly beggar belief, and a sense of boundless evil surrounding the comings and goings of the Philadelphia Police Department and of a single family come to overwhelm the story in moments. And yet Caan and Ramirez are pros, and sell the double experience both characters are having. Read full review

In the premiere episode, a girl is kidnapped by terrorists. Nikki rescues the girl but only after risking her life by shooting the driver of a car the girl is in. It’s this sort of ridiculous storytelling, coupled with the uncredible recurring Keith storyline, that make “Alert” a series to avoid. Read full review

A Frankensteined pilot. ... While there’s a lot to like about Alert: Missing Persons Unit, the generic cases of the week plus the logic leaps of some of the show’s storytelling lead us to believe that the show is going to contain more bad than good. Read full review

It well might [entice viewers] as the ongoing mystery gets teased out, but thus far, this latest foray into hunting for missing persons isn’t particularly worth finding. Read full review

The new drama isn’t offensive or necessarily outrageous in its badness. I’m not angry at it. It’s just inept, and were it not for the presence of Jamie Foxx as co-creator, I have a hard time imagining the show ever would have made it to air. Read full review

Why do they keep shooting at cars with hostages in? and why does that lady keep rubbing eggs on people, and burning stuff like an absolute nutcase? without a doubt the worst made tv show i've seen in years. it's unintentionally hilarious. with a few tweaks it would be a good satire of policeWhy do they keep shooting at cars with hostages in? and why does that lady keep rubbing eggs on people, and burning stuff like an absolute nutcase? without a doubt the worst made tv show i've seen in years. it's unintentionally hilarious. with a few tweaks it would be a good satire of police procedurals, but it goes all in on the most ridiculous tropes and awful characters.… Expand
