    Trying to rebuild the "FBI" brand but FAILS. Characters are wooden, acting hollow, actual tactics laughable for anyone who knows law enforcement. Supposed forest shoot out was a complete joke. Agents taking off on their own is a career killer. The deep stain of PC content ruins the plots incessantly.

The deep stain of PC content ruins the plots incessantly. When the antagonist is a Leftist-gone-wrong, I might begin to believe the show's balanced agenda. The unrealistic "solutions" rapidly served up in the story lines is lamentable. Not good for the FBI brand or for real LEO content.… Expand

    Essentially just every ridiculous cliche from other police dramas recycled and regurgitated, interspersed with poorly acted overly dramatic moments that seem more "Grey's Anatomy" than anything Dick Wolf has done previously. Not only is this one of the worst police dramas I've ever seen, It should be considered more soap opera than police procedural.

    Just more Liberal garbage. I'm starting to think there wont be any new shows without there taint.

    Someone decided to take all the things liberals love and create a show for them.

    The latest in the new rigid Leftist trend template of woman and man of color partners in law enforcement (and all manner partners including potential Jedi) to satisfy diversity quota demos no matter how phony and out of touch with reality. Every network is on board and its execs don't dare defy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Changed boss lady. And this new lady had a nerve to be rude to Omar! Is this a law n order recycle? Stupid move. The only black American had a smart job. She's into The field for what,??… Expand

    Adequate, but only just. I had high hopes for this show based on the first two scripts, but later scripts have been less impressive.

    The characters seem one dimensional and the plots are predictable and lackluster. There’s nothing special about this show. Wouldn’t miss it if it went away.

    Congratulations, you're the 100000th show about this !

    Seriously, this needs to stop. We already have a TV show for every freaking police department and fire department of every city in America. We have SWAT, forensics, profilers... No one asked for yet another FBI show.

    Please do something original, for once!!

    FBI is like every other crime procedural you’ve already seen, and if that’s what you’re looking for in a TV show, then nothing here will come as a revelation. It probably won’t come as a disappointment, either.

    Black and white pedestrian characters and plots may satisfy traditional CBS viewers, but it won’t win over many new recruits.

    Given that it hits all the familiar Law & Order beats, the success of FBI is contingent on the charisma of its two leads, and the first episode does little to convince that Maggie Bell is even playing the same sport as Olivia Benson.
