I always liked movies like The Negotiator. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120768/) with hostage situations and similar ones like that in general (though Negotiator went a little further).
Standoff seems to air just before House which I also watch, and the main actor is Ron (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0515296/) who is the guy known from Office Space or Band of Brothers (hell of an actor in other words).
Show's about the FBI's crisis management team, and the two negotiators that work as a team together with the SWAT unit (snipers, entry point people, etc.). Kind of original to be put into a series, considering the series I see on TV so far have been all about detectives, death, murder, dead people, hospitals and diseases.
It's definitely not the best thing out there at the moment (those spots being Battlestar Galactica and Heroes), and I don't think it's really known if it'll last or not, just started airing, but it's a lot better than the usual **** that passes for TV these days.
Anyway, I thought it was cool enough to write a thread about it to anyone who's got extra time they want to kill and likes this kind of stuff.

I would check it out but I already watch too many TV shows.

Just aired down here, too. Not bad, but needs a damn lot of work to make it anywhere near 'good'. Somewhat offputting to see Zoe in charge of an FBI Crisis-squad though... :nervous:

I recommend that you see Running Scared with Paul Walker. Damn good movie action, it was even praised by Quentin Tarantino

Bah i thought this was Wing Commander related,

Yeah, it's a decent show. I usually watch it before House.
