Six years later, Nikki is working as part of Philadelphia’s Missing Persons Unit. 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.Ĭo-created by John Eisendrath, an Alias and The Blacklist veteran who very much knows what a good version of this sort of show looks like, Alert stars Scott Caan as Jason, a Philly police officer turned military mercenary whose son was abducted during Jason’s last tenure in Afghanistan. The new drama isn’t offensive or necessarily outrageous in its badness. Perhaps it’s equally helpful to be able to point to a show that illustrates time and time again how to do a hybrid procedural poorly - a cautionary template.Ĭredit to Fox, then, for the altruism of releasing Alert: Missing Persons Unit. Monday, January 9 ( Fox)Ĭast: Scott Caan, Dania Ramirez, Ryan Broussard, Adeola Role Sunday, January 8 regular premiere 9 p.m.
