RANSOM is having its season premiere on Saturday at 9pm! You should tune in for a ton of reasons.**RETWEET THIS VERY BIASED THREAD BY A NEW WRITER** @RansomCBS @RansomSeries @CBS @GlobalTV #writing #screenwriting #diversity 
Eric Beaumont (@luke_j_roberts) rescues people from kidnapping and hostage situations relying on his team and their wits - without using violence.
I love that the show's heroes care about saving lives more than anything else, and refuse to use violence to solve problems. Okay, Eric broke his cardinal rule last season finale - but more on that later...
Everyone in the Crisis Resolution team (super diverse btw which I love) brings something important to each case.
Oliver Yates (@brandojay) is the team's profiler, a psychologist who can help decode what's going on in the minds of the criminals they face off against.
Zara Hallam (@MsNazContractor) is ex-NYPD and the team's brilliantly observant investigator. She tracks down the clues that make it possible to make a deal with people who would otherwise refuse to listen.
Cynthia Walker (@KarenVLeBlanc) is the newest member of the CriRes family, a resourceful lawyer adept in navigating the political and corporate world.
I am really proud to work on a show that's so diverse.
And I'm really privileged to have worked in a room with amazing writers. David Vainola @FrankSpotnitz @SteveCoch77 @sandrachw @writerishguy @NappyThoughtz @rosmuir @josephnkay @TamaraMoulin
Special shout out to @TamaraMoulin who graciously allowed me to co-write my first episode of television with her. (Episode 310 airing in May!)
After pretty much giving up on screenwriting (but having a still fulfilling career as a doc video editor) I finally got my shot to write some tv and I couldn't be more thrilled.
But back to the season 3 premiere, Eric isn't the type to just shrug off the hard decision he made at the end of season 2.
You're going to want to watch on Saturday / dvr it / watch on @CBSAllAccess or whatever way you prefer.
So anyway... It's been a long journey for me, one I hope continues for years to come. SO PLEASE WATCH THE SHOW :)
