Development and production
[
edit
]
NBC
bought
Rand Ravich
's script with a
put pilot
commitment in August 2012.
[6]
In January 2013, NBC
green-lit
the production of a pilot episode.
[7]
Scenes of Ballard High School were filmed at
Northside College Prep
in
Chicago
. On May 12, 2013, the series was placed on the network's 2013?14 schedule. It premiered on March 16, 2014.
[3]
On November 1, 2013, after filming was completed for the sixth episode, production of the series was put on an unscheduled, week-long hiatus. The pause in production was attributed to fears that subsequent episodes were veering too far away from the tone of the pilot, which received very positive early reviews. The break was supposed to be used to give writers time to re-work scripts and to re-shoot certain scenes for previously finished episodes. Filming later resumed.

Critical reception
[

Crisis
scored 63 out of 100 on
Metacritic
based on 28 "generally favorable" reviews.
[21]
On
Rotten Tomatoes
, it was given a score of 61% based on 33 reviews, with an average rating of 6.8 out of 10.
[22]
Alessandra Stanley of
The New York Times
gave it a positive review. Stanley wrote: "The pilot is terrific" and suggested that the series could be a new "
24
" but that "a series centered on a busload of kidnapped students and their fate, dragged out week after week, could easily try viewers' patience."
[23]
[24]
Tim Goodman of
The Hollywood Reporter
gave it a negative review, calling it "as flat as any recent thriller on network television--actually more so. There’s barely an ounce of believability in it. The casting seems woeful and the acting isn’t going to get you to the second hour."
