It was one of the top new television shows of this past season; CBS's FBI is one of the best shows on the network, with good character development and compelling stories. Still, it only serves as a television drama snack of a show at the end of the day.
FBI is about an elite team from the New York City Federal Bureau of Investigation that tackles major cases to save this country. The team consists of FBI agent Maggie Bell (played by Missy Peregrym), the widow of a Wall Street Journal investigative reporter who was murdered. She's as tough as she comes, and when it comes to putting personal feelings aside, she can get the job done. FBI Agent Omar Adom "O.A. Zidan (played by Zeeko Zaki) is not only Bell's partner but also an ex-army soldier.
Not to mention Jubal Valentine (played by Jeremy Sisto), who's not only the FBI assistant special agent in charge, but he's the master motivator and probably one of my favorite characters on the show. Plus, you got to love Ward, as the FBI supervisor, Dana Mosier.
The show's first season is a bit bumpy, but around episode eight is where they find their identity. The team tackles bombings, white supremacists, a corrupt witness protection program, and kidnappings; even Maggie gets closure for the death of her husband. But it's not a Dick Wolf series unless you have a spinoff in place. They have FBI: Most Wanted. You can catch the series when it premieres sometime in the midseason of 2020.
I very much enjoyed this series from the start to the end. It's got its moments with good writing and character development. While Peregrym and Zaki work great together, Sisto shines in this series, balancing out his wicked sense of humor and dramatic moments. I can't get enough of watching and listening to what he says to the team of employees as they hunt for their suspect. It just brings me back to his Law and Order day. Overall, It might not be the best drama on television, but it sure feeds the television palate once you watch and finish an episode. I give this first season an 8/10.
You can catch FBI Tuesdays at 9/8c and the season premiere of Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 9/8c on CBS.
