Flashpoint is a police drama television series that aired for 5 season.  Originally airing on CTV in Canada,  it made it’s  debut in the United States in January of 2008.

The Show focuses on a fictional elite tactical unit called the Strategic Response Unit (SRU).  The SRU’s job is to resolve extreme situations that regular officers are not trained to handle, including hostage-taking, bomb threats, and heavily armed criminals.  The results of the show are ususally determined by a split-second decision, hence the name Flashpoint.  

The series title comes from another part of their job, however: getting inside a suspect’s head and discovering his emotional “flashpoint”  that triggered the crisis in the first place.  Flashpoint is defined as the lowest temperature of ignition.

Flashpoint has a cast mostly made up of Canadians, including:   Enrico ColantoniDavid Paetkau, Hugh Dillon, Sergio Di Zio, Michael Cram, Mark Taylor, and Ruth Marshall. Amy Jo Johnson who is the only American actress.

Flashpoint is an amazing series; the characters are awesome, and especially the script. It would end on an even higher apex by having a season six with the same characters. PLEASE BRING BACK FLASHPOINT!!!!!!  Gavin B
