Flashpoint is an emotional journey following the lives of members of the SRU (Strategic Response Unit) as they solve hostage situations, bust gangs, and defuse bombs. They work by utilizing their training to get inside the heads of these people in order to make them reach their breaking point (aka their flashpoint).

On August 26 2008, the show was renewed for a second season.
The show originally aired on Friday evenings, but after episode 2 it swapped slots with Swingtown for the remainder of the season.
