This show was kind of shaky at first. The tension increased. I first thought it was about a lame, old, bank robbery gone wrong. I think I got a lot more than that. The Kill Point is a great show to watch for kids 12 and up.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Kill Point
Parents need to know that this action drama revolves around a bank heist and hostage negotiations between cops and criminals. Both groups are heavily armed, and several gun battles occur (leading to several injuries and at least one gunshot death). In one particularly graphic scene, a man performs a makeshift tracheotomy on an injured woman with a pen, and lots of blood oozes around the wound. A couple sneaks into a closet to fool around and viewers see clothes coming off, including a brief close-up of the woman's bra; the camera also catches regular glimpses of other women's cleavage. Language is harsh for basic cable, including "s--t" and ass; sexual and scatological repartee also crops up.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the end justifying the means. What does that phrase mean? Is it ever OK to kill or steal? In the face of injustice, when all legal means for resolution have failed, what options do people have? Do you think this series presents a realistic picture of how a hostage negotiation might work? Situations like this are often exaggerated in TV shows and movies -- why? Is the reality any less terrifying?

Loved it!!!
I live in pittsburgh where it was filmed and I love seeing my city on tv. I have watched this show from the start, and while there is a lot of violence it makes it very real.
