‘Flashpoint’ Third Season Kicks Off Stateside
CBS Welcomes Back Canadian Crime Drama
Fans of CBS import Flashpoint should be thrilled to learn the tactical procedural returns to the U.S. primetime schedule tonight, June 4, at 9pm ET with the Season Three premiere “One Wrong Move.” Now that title definitely sounds intense.
The plot concerns the Strategic Response Unit, or SRU, team’s attempts to thwart environmental terrorists’ plans to set off numerous bombs around “the city,” which I assume means Toronto. I don’t remember exactly since I stopped watching the show midway through the first season for no real reason other than I lost track of it. The episodes I did manage to catch — with the exception of the snooze-inducing series premiere — were certainly entertaining enough, although just not Must See for me.
In any case, the episode description for “One Wrong Move” teases that one member of SRU will sacrifice “his” life — Translation: it won’t be the lone female unit member, Jules Callaghan, played by series regular Amy Jo Johnson — and will not survive. So, it seems viewers are going to have to say goodbye to a character they’ve possibly come to enjoy.
Get a brief preview of “One Wrong Move” in the following video. The episode looks like it’s really going to pack a punch. I just might have to watch myself.
Flashpoint will air Fridays on CBS at 9pm ET
