Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter meeting during the production of this show Ron Livingston and Rosemarie DeWitt began dating. After a three year relationship they were married on November 2nd, 2009.
- GoofsThe vast majority of the cases shown would not be handled by the FBI. Since they involve state-level crimes local law enforcement such as the LAPD would handle them. The LAPD was an early adopter of the SWAT program. A notable exception was in Partners in Crime (2006) when bank robbery was involved, as the FBI investigates bank robbery.
- Quotes
Emily Lehman: Look, I can handle Doug, but with Steele in the room it'll be like trying to diffuse a bomb with a little gremlin on my shoulder pulling my hair.
Matt Flannery: Why is the gremlin pulling your hair?
Emily Lehman: Look, I could come up with a better metaphor...

Awesome!
Standoff is an awesome show. The plot is great and so is the cast. The show is about Matt Flannery (Ron Livingston) and Emily Lehman (Rosemarie DeWitt) who are the top-ranked crisis negotiators in the FBI Crisis Negotiation Unit, when they are not working together they are more than partners. Ron Livingston and Emily Lehman's chemistry kind of reminds me of the same chemistry that David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel (from "Bones") except Ron Livingston and Emily Lehman's characters have more of a relationship than David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel's characters. I hope this show lasts, just as along FOX does cancel another good show. This show premiered September 2006 on FOX.
BOTTOM LINE: AWESOME SHOW
