Peregrym fits as the quintessential Wolf heroine: Broody, brunette, powering through her angst, which in typical Wolf fashion is considerable and grows exponentially. The drama’s explosions are harrowing, and the score adds an appropriate amount of dread to the grim investigation.
The opening chapter’s gripping first scene finds the local FBI unit confronting a terror bombing. ... There’s also a smoothly supercilious, white supremacist (a striking performance by Dallas Roberts) and references to an organization with a title evocative of a current battle cry: Make America Great Again.

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, detective work, character based intricacies and back stories that will be interesting to get the back stories on.

SEASON 1
Consider FBI an hour of TV comfort food. It will keep you satisfied until the next episode, without any binge-worthy cravings for Peregrym, Sisto et al. in-between.
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.
FBI has inherited good bone structure from its "Law & Order" ancestors, with its promising partner chemistry and intricate plot structure. But it needs to flesh out a stronger identity if it wants to be more than just another cop show.
CBS has a good history with abbreviations ("CSI," "NCIS"), but creatively speaking, "FBI" is DOA.
In the unlikely event that FBI has anything going for it, that would be the still-sexy-in-her-60s Sela Ward as the barking special agent in charge Maggie Bell, and the special effects budget.
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.

SEASON 1
I'm up to the 5th episode. I rather enjoyed the first one, but I'm quickly seeing a lot of repetitiveness in the script writing. By episode 4, it was very predictable and I'm not liking that so far. Structurally, every episode has (so far) been the exact same: there's a climax within the first 60 seconds out of the blue, then the team shows up to investigate, then they talk it over and share some ideas, then they get a clue, then they're feeling perplexed about something, then they take action, then the episode has a quiet slow ending, failing to leave us on the edge of our seat for the next episode. It does have it's entertaining moments, so for that I'm giving it a 6, but FBI lost a few points with me for it's predictable and somewhat lazy writing and plot lines. Not a show I would race to the T.V. to watch.

SEASON 1
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.
