Since its premiere in mid-July, the ratings for "Flashpoint" have soared, garnering record ratings on both CBS and CTV. The show is quickly becoming becoming one of the most popular shows on television this season. With its first season nearly wrapped, the second season is already underway.
" Flashpoint," whose working title was "Sniper," is a police drama about an elite group of highly-skilled enforcement police officers that rescue hostages, bust gangs, and defuse bombs. They are known as the Strategic Response Unit (SRU). The team is inspired by real-life emergency task forces trained to get inside a suspect's head and find their emotional breaking point, or the "flashpoint". "Flashpoint" is written and created by Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern, and produced by Pink Sky Entertainment. The show can be seen in the esteemed Thursday nite lineup on CBS and CTV. Amin is thrilled to be working with Ari Posner on the underscore (the two also wrote the theme) on the rapidly developing show. Together both composers can work at a lightening pace that matches the intensity of the weekly drama. This production represents another in a series of shows co-composed by the team of Amin Bhatia and Ari Posner. Other shows include " Get Ed" for which the two writers received an Emmy nomination. "Flashpoint" is a rewarding and challenging production, with a brisk production pace that keeps Amin focused on the new series and putting his recent album release - " Virtuality" - somewhat on the back burner. Amin's production credits can be found at this link.
