    The first episode was entertaining and it seems like a good cast. I liked how they make the scenes more gritty through a combination of content and camera/editing. I’m sure it will take a few episodes to work out some kinks but overall enjoyable to watch and seems like characters you can get vested in. They took real world issues and weaved them into the storyline. It has some suspense,The first episode was entertaining and it seems like a good cast.

    FBI is a great and thrilling show that unlike most crime shows on tv it seems way more realistic. Not every ending is a happy one. It is way more realistic than a lot going on right now. I really like the cast as well as the premise of the episodes it is very entertaining and it keeps you coming back for more. The show reminds me of like Criminal Minds meets Law and Order.

    So far a decent timewaster. It has a solid Criminal Minds vibe and Missy is still a pretty watchable actor. Adding the eternally sexy Sela Ward earned them another point from me! It's really more of the same as far as 'gritty' cops shows go but has potential as long as the writing stays solid. Typical procedural cop show but done well enough to keep it in my PVR.

    I watched the first episode and didn't find it too entertaining, wondered if to give it a second chance and checked some online comments. Turned out that everyone else that didn't like it were just racist, so i decided to give it a go. Next two episodes were actually quite enjoyable and a vast improvement.

    Glad i stuck around for it. Recommend, give it a try for longer.

    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.
