There's no crisis situation they can't handle...unless it involves each other. Matt Flannery (Ron Livingston, Sex and the City, House) and Emily Lehman (Rosemarie DeWitt, Cinderella Man) are the top-ranked negotiators in the FBI's Crisis Negotiation Unit (CNU). They're trained to talk their way through volatile situations. They're experts at knowing what makes other people tick. They're also sleeping together -- a secret that they agreed to keep to themselves, until Matt reveals it to the entire world during a tense hostage standoff. The public revelation causes friction between Matt, who relies on gut instinct, and Emily, an academic who analyzes every move.

my take
The clips made it look cute: A character drama, disguised as a procedural. I'm not sure that's what they were going for. I've got a huge issue suspending disbelief here: if they really were together, there's no way they would be allowed to negotiate a hostage situation together, no matter how amazing they are. That being said, Ron Livingston and Rosemarie DeWitt look like they've got some serious chemistry.
