A 3 part drama staring the lovely Kelley Hayes on fir 3 nights in a row on bbc 1

Sunbathing on her hotel room balcony while on a dream holiday with her family and friends, Jo’s (Keeley Hawes) world is turned upside down when shots ring out across the complex.

Gunmen, out for revenge, have, in an instant, turned a slice of paradise into a terrifying heart-breaking hell.

A story of survival and resilience, Crossfire is an edge-of-your-seat nail-biting thriller yet also emotional, intimate and relatable.

With the unsuspecting holidaymakers and hotel staff forced to make monumental split-second life or death decisions, the consequences will linger long after the final shots are fired.

The show’s writer Louise Doughty added: “This is a drama about a group of ordinary people caught up in an extraordinary event - a gun attack on the hotel where they are staying. In extremity, each character is faced with a set of dilemmas: and at the heart of it is Jo, who booked the holiday and unknowingly put her family and friends - and herself - at risk.

"I'm fascinated by the idea of how so-called ordinary people respond to intense pressure and I couldn't be more excited to have written this drama for Dancing Ledge Productions and the BBC and to have the amazing Keeley Hawes in the star role."

Keeley Hawes (It’s A Sin, Bodyguard, Line of Duty)

gave up after first one, lost interest, didnt bother watching the rest.

Not very entertaining seeing people being shot all over the place.

I hate extended scenes of people being in danger, and this lasted until about halfway through the final episode. I find this kind of thing stressful ( even though I know it's fiction), I prefer jeopardy in short bursts.

Agree about the plot holes. Also you have to introduce your characters properly if you want us to care about them. Like in ep 3 someone was saying 'Where are Sunil and Kim' my immediate thought was who the fuck are Sunil and Kim

So it managed to be both boring and tense at the same time. Even though I normally love anything with Keeley Hawes I think Crossfire was a disappointment.
